Protodilian

Protodilians are a sapient species of mutated Protodites created for the purpose of killing members of the Makuta race.

History
Exactly who created the Protodilian race is unknown, though it is known that the intended purpose for the reptilians was for them to hunt down and exterminate members of the Makuta species. All that is currently known about the species' early history is that they came into being when a swarm of Protodites specially bred for use in Judgement Cannons were exposed to Energized Protodermise and other mutagenic substances. Over time the microscopic Rahi mutated and grew, eventually developing into intelligent beings.

What became of the majority of the Protodilians is unknown, as few beings even know of the species' existence. Even Proto-Beast, a Protodilian himself, only recently learned that there were other of his kind. This has prompted him to look into his race's origins in hopes of learning more about them.

Abilities and Traits
From what has been observed, most - if not all - Protodilians are somewhat larger than a Toa, and possess a reptile-like apperance. They are covered in mostly gold, yellow, and red armor with a few patches of black, and possess skull-like faces equipped with large jaws lined with razor-sharp teeth. They have two pairs of arms, the upper-most of which end in long, sharp talons that can both rip through Protosteel and generate intense blasts of electrical energy. Another consistant feature of Protodilians are their long, muscular tails, which end in large, sword-like blades.

Protodilians possess a considerable arsonal of abilities that can aid them in combat. In addition to formidible strength and agility, they are known to possess Non-Elemental Psionic abilities which manifest themselves as telepathy and telekinesis. Protodilians can unleash searing blasts of laser vision from their eyes which are capable of slicing through metal, and possess highly developed senses of smell and hearing. They also have the ability to sense both distant and invisible energy fields through specializes sensors that line their jaws.

A Protodilian's most useful trait, however, is probably their healing abilities, which allow them to recover from normally crippling wounds. The exact extend of this power is known, though these creature have been witnessed regenerating entire limbs after having them severed in battle.

Social Structure and Interactions
Though exactly what mannerisms Protodilians share as a species are not known, from what has been observed in certain individuals it would seem that Protodilians are naturally aggressive, highly intelligent, have warrior-like personalities, and seem to perfer being on their own as opposed to seeking companionship with other beings.
