Zyglak

The Zyglak were a breed of intelligent reptiles known to harbor an intense hatred towards Matoran.

History
The Zyglak species were originally created by the Great Beings, using viruses and Liquid Protodermis, as a byproduct of the formation of the first Krana.

Inhabiting the nether-region between the domes of the Matoran Universe, the Zyglak tribes came to reside within a number of maintenance shafts connecting the various civilizations of the Great Spirit Robot. As this region could not support Matoran life, it was populated principally by the Zyglak, though they periodically revealed themselves in the southern reaches of the Matoran Universe.

Revealing themselves to be an especially ill-tempered species, the Zyglak adapted to life in the darker, uninhabited regions of the Matoran Universe, becoming an apex predator and natural rival of the Frostelus.

Roughly 100,000 years ago, a tribe of Zyglak came into conflict with the Toa Cordak, participating in a number of battles across the southern Matoran Universe. The final encounter between the Zyglak and the Toa Cordak, however, resulted in an ill-fated ambush where Toa Lesovikk, the leader of the team, was known to have hesitated for a fatal strategic moment in which his entire team was slaughtered. Able to escape with his life but harrowed by the extent of his failure, Lesovikk vanished from the face of the universe and his tale served as a grim reminder that even Toa can make mistakes.

Mindful of the species' long-established resentment towards Toa combined with their destructive potential, The Shadowed One attempted to recruit a tribe of Zyglak into the ranks of the Dark Hunters shortly after this incident. Sending "Subterranean" to negotiate a formal alliance, the Zyglak ultimately proved uncooperative.

To Be Added

Following the Battle of Bara Magna and subsequent Reformation of Spherus Magna, the Matoran Universe's entire Frostelus population was evacuated onto the surface of a new world. It is assumed that the species here returned to its natural habitat in the arctic poles of the planet, far removed from the Matoran and Agori populace.
