Proto Drake

"Ga-Matoran must be very friendly sorts. If I saw something that size flying towards me, claws ready to grab, I don't know that I would be welcoming it with open arms."

- Rahaga Gaaki, Rahi Beasts

Proto Drakes are graceful amphibious Rahi.

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

Many Proto Drakes make their home in the Silver Sea that surround Metru Nui. Here, they are regarded with great respect by the Ga-Matoran and are a welcome presence in Ga-Metru as they primarily feed on sharks.

Proto Drakes were later sighted off the coast of the island of Mata Nui, having migrated there following the Great Cataclysm. This population of Rahi returned to the Matoran Universe after the Bohrok swarms cleansed the island.

Several Proto Drakes also migrated into the waters surrounding the Pit, and adapted to the waters there. They resided primarily around the Razor Whale's Teeth, feeding on the Takea that came too close.

Abilities & Traits
Proto Drakes got their name for their habit in bathing in Ta-Metru vats; Onu-Matoran have theorized that these Rahi do this to remove parasites that attached themselves to the Drakes' body while they were underwater.

This Rahi's fins allow it to move in water and, with lesser speed, give it the ability to fly. Proto Drakes capture prey by using the claws on their fins and tail. They mainly feed on small underwater creatures.
