Lightning Bug

Lightning Bugs are small insect-like Rahi that inhabit the Matoran Universe.

History
The Lightning Bug species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis. Following the Great Cataclysm, a number of Lightning Bugs migrated to the island of Mata Nui and made their homes in Le-Wahi. Many of them fell under the influence of Makuta Teridax and began to live with the Nui-Rama, monitoring the captive Matoran of Le-Koro as they toiled in the hive. On the occasion that a Matoran would falter, they would shock them until they resumed their work.

One Lightning Bug, which was hiding in the rocks that Toa Mata Onua lifted using his Kanohi Matatu, was sent flying towards Lewa, knocking his mask off. Because of this, Lewa succeeded in helping the Matoran to safety.

Abilities & Traits
Lightning Bugs can generate a mild electrical shock, and as such are constantly glowing and crackling with energy.
