Great Temple Squid

The Great Temple Squid is a squid-like Rahi.

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

Great Temple Squids used to infest the waters around the Great Temple of Metru Nui. They were a menace to Matoran divers, and the Dweller in the Deep was their only natural enemy, as it was the only creature they feared.

After the Great Cataclysm, a specimen of the Great Temple Squid species escaped to Mata Nui, and resided in Ga-Wahi. Once, the Rahi attacked a rowing boat. It dragged down the Ga-Matoran Marka, but was driven off by Amaya. However, the squid still managed to heavily damage Ga-Koro.

During the Bohrok-Kal Strike, Nokama trapped Toa Nuva Gali inside a cave with the squid, to test the Toa of Water's skill without her Elemental Powers. Gali, mistaking the squid's two glowing eyes for Lightfish, approached the Rahi. The squid, irritated, attacked the Toa, almost killing her until she discovered the Kanohi Kakama Nuva. Using the powers of the Mask of Speed, Gali vibrated her molecules while rocketing towards the exit. The effect allowed her to move through the rock, allowing her to escape the cave.

Since the reawakening of the Bohrok, the Great Temple Squid was driven back within the Matoran Universe.

Abilities & Traits
The Great Temple Squid had twelve huge tentacles, each with a small beak at the end, and another, larger beak that could be seen at the center of the creature's body. Their strength rivals that of a Toa.

The Great Temple Squid is one of the few Rahi able to defeat the Makuta Fish.
