Mukau

The Mukau were a breed of docile cow-Rahi.

History
The Mukau were originally created by Makuta Tridax using viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the species to inhabit the Matoran Universe. Genetically engineered to secrete a powerful enzyme found originally in Skakdi, the Mukau were intended to chemically reconstitute withered vegetation, along with many other Rahi.

Distributed across the Matoran Universe, the Mukau revealed themselves to be a peaceful and generally well-natured breed of Rahi, successfully adapting to most ecosystems and integrating themselves into Matoran life with relative ease, rejuvenating arid regions. Across the Matoran Universe, Mukau were often cultivated to rapidly regrow vegetation with their enzymes, with Matoran communities finding the species easier to care for than many larger Rahi species. Across the Matoran Universe, Muau were also used to pull carts and haul cargo, though their Mahi cousins were generally considered easier to domesticate.

In Metru Nui, there was known to exist a significant Mukau population in Ga-Metru. In an effort to preserve the species, a number of specimens were relocated to the Onu-Metru Archives. These Mukau would later migrate to the island of Mata Nui.

On Mata Nui, a small herd of Mukau was known to be kept in all six villages, feeding off of the grassy plains and abundance of wildgrass growing in the central belt of the island.

Generally, the Mukau species was known to have lived in harmony with the Matoran population, with many communities choosing to tend to individual Makau.
