Vahki Hunter

"We can all feel lucky that Vahki Hunters stick to non-living prey. If they ever get an appetite for the rest of us, I am not sure what could stop these monsters. Certainly not the Vahki!"

- Rahaga Kualus, Rahi Beasts

Vahki Hunters are a species of machinery-obsessed Rahi.

==History ==

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

Some time before the Great Cataclysm, a small number of these Rahi escaped from the Archives where they were being held. Vahki were sent to recover these specimens, though the creatures destroyed entire squads, with only a few being successfully apprehended.

A population of Vahki Hunters made their home in Ta-Metru and Po-Metru of Metru Nui. There, they earned their namesake by indulging in a diet of machinery of any kind, with a special preference for Vahki. They were also known to eat Ta-Metru Fire Drones and industrial machinery. Later, with the appearance of the Morbuzakh on the island, the number of Vahki patrols was increased in their habitats, making them too chaotic for the Rahi to live in. The Vahki Hunters dispersed across the city, often hiding underground.

Abilities & Traits
A Vahki Hunter's method of hunting is to hide underground and wait for a squad of Vahki to pass over it. It then bursts up into the street, snatches the last Vahki in line, and drags it down below. Once the Vahki Hunter is done eating, it throws whatever parts it did not like back onto the street.
