Burnak

Burnak are quadrupedal Rahi native to the Southern Continent.

History
The Burnak species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.

Burnak made their homes in the Voya Nui area of the Southern Continent. When the Great Cataclysm caused Voya Nui to rocket upwards and land on the surface of Aqua Magna, the Burnak survived the ascent and adapted to the harsh conditions of their new habitat. During this time, the Le-Matoran Piruk tamed a Desert Burnak as a pet. The Piraka also trained Burnak to serve as guard beasts for the Piraka Stronghold. However, these specimens of Burnak might not have survived Voya Nui's return to its position on the Southern Continent. The only known survivor was Piruk's pet Desert Burnak that he took with him into the Nui Caves to survive the descent.

Abilities & Traits
There are ten known variations of Burnak. Fire Burnak lived near Mount Valmai and the other volcanic areas of Voya Nui. Water Burnak lived near the shores by the Voya Nui Bay, while a smaller number lived on the Ring of Ice where the Ice Burnak also lived. Earth Burnak lived in the Green Belt, and a few lived in the desert where Air, Desert, and Stone Burnak thrived. The smallest group of wild Burnak, Protodermis Burnak, lived near the only source of drinkable Liquid Protodermis on the island. Domesticated Burnak lived with their owners, and a specialized group of domesticated Burnak called Stronghold Burnak lived just outside the Piraka Stronghold serving as guards.
