Odina

His Rhotuka could vaporize anything they touched and he could set alight to anything, even things that didn't burn. He also had four blades on his back that could unfold and allow him to glide.

Merall

On his flight back to Odina, he saw a female Toa of Stone on the island and he attacked her. She tried to crush him in a stone fist but he turned it to lava with his powers and sent it hurtling towards her. The Toa made a wall of stone before the lava hit. This gave her time to run a short distance putting some ground between them. Salamnder melted the wall andcontinued his attack. He and the Toa fought, neither injuring the other but eventually the Toa managed escape.
