Poison (Dark Hunter)

"No, he is not the brightest mask in the storehouse, but Poison does have his uses to the Dark Hunters. For one, he has a ferocious hatred of Matoran, arising from the fact that his species were hunted to near extinction by the little fools. For another, he exhibits unquestioning loyalty to me. After all, thoughts of rebellion require a brain, do they not?"

- "The Shadowed One", Dark Hunters

"Poison" is a bestial Dark Hunter.

Biography
The majority of his species were wiped out by Matoran, and "Poison" has grown to hate them for it. When the Dark Hunters first encountered him, "Poison" was attacking a Matoran settlement and was almost defeated by the local Toa. It was only later when the Hunters brought "Poison" to Odina that they discovered that he had not been using his venom. Nidhiki then taught him how to use his powers. "Poison" evacuated the Great Spirit Robot, along with the surviving residents of the Matoran Universe, after Makuta Teridax was killed during the Battle of Bara Magna, and now resides on Spherus Magna.

Abilities & Traits
As his name suggests, "Poison" has a storage of paralyzing venom, which, if not treated for within half an hour, will kill the victim. Despite storing it in his own body, "Poison" is not immune to his own venom. Due to the Rahi-like appearance of "Poison", many Toa quickly dismiss him as being no threat, when he is actually a sapient, intelligent Dark Hunter.

Tools
"Poison" has a tail that delivers a powerful stun to an opponent.
