Archives Mole

"Even the small, helpless, creatures are stalked by the Visorak. I do what I can to save them, but it is not easy to coax them from their places of refuge."

- Rahaga Bomonga, Rahi Beasts

Archives Moles are small subterranean Rahi.

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

Originally living in the area of Po-Metru, the Archives Moles were forced to flee due to the increase of Assembler's Villages. A great number of the population fled to the shadowy corners of the Archives and fed on small Rahi insects and Protodites. Due to their personality and their size, the Archives Moles had to focus on cooperation instead of fighting back to predators. They are proficient at this, forming ladders and bridges of themselves to help others of their species through the more treacherous areas of the Archives.

The Archives Moles used their same instincts when the Visorak arrived in Metru Nui. They fled to areas in which the Visorak could not fit, such as small cracks between buildings. The Visorak would either leave, as they thought better of their time than to try at impossible prey, or spin thick webs blocking the only ways out of the Archive Moles' hiding places, sealing them within. As a Rahaga, Bomonga once claimed that any stray Visorak webbing in the Archives could be a sign of one of the Archives Moles' hiding spots.

The Rahi later traveled to Mata Nui and settled in Le-Wahi before following the Matoran back to Metru Nui.
