Hoto

Hoto are fiery insect Rahi.

History
Like all Rahi, Hoto were created by the Brotherhood of Makuta by mixing Viruses with Liquid Protodermis. Many came to live in Metru Nui. After the Great Cataclysm, many Hoto migrated to Mata Nui, usually living in the fiery region of Ta-Wahi.

Kohrak swarms displaced the Hoto bugs out of their normal habitats, and the tunnels they created resulted in sinkholes that collapsed huts. The Hoto population of Mata Nui have since migrated back to Metru Nui.

Abilities & Traits
The bodies of Hoto can give off heat intense enough to tunnel through rock and earth, and even some buildings. On both Metru Nui and Mata Nui, Hoto were regarded as pests by the Matoran.

Hoto are capable of creating large swarms and attacking islands, a threat that sometimes must be dealt with by Toa.
