Zundar

Zundar is a Runask from the Baterra Magna storyline.

Biography
Zundar came into existence on Mertiros, as do many Runask.

Zundar had quickly become bored with life on his home island, and so left it, looking for something more interesting. Learning about the Dark Hunters and what they did, Zundar was inspired by them, and strove to get the weapons and experience necessary to become a good bounty hunter.

He was recruited by the Order of Mata Nui shortly before Teridax's takeover of the universe. Axonn gathered up Zundar and three others, Verunax, Erax, and Zac, to be sent to Bara Magna to retrieve the Mask of Life to heal the universe. The portal they used to get to the desert world malfunctioned, though, and the four were instead transported to an alternate Bara Magna where things have gone all wrong.

The four were dropped in the middle of a battle going on in Arena Magna, one involving enemies with invisibility powers. They team managed to triumph, and took residence in a deserted dwelling. While on errands around the surrounding village, the quartet were individually visited by a strange, cloaked figure, who gave them a dire warning.

The next morning, the four had a brief conversation before setting out on their search. Zac led them to a Toa of Psionics whom he had met earlier, but she attacked them. After she was defeated, Vorox sprang from the ground, and turned out to be led by Malum. After the conflict was halted, he suggested the four head off to Vulcanus, but since it was getting dark, Malum knew the four would likely be Bone Hunter prey.

Zundar tagged along with his teammates as they trudged through the desert. It didn't take long for the sun to set and Bone Hunter to attack, led by Fero. Two Hunters were killed, one stunned, and Fero restrained with, to the Hunters, embarrassing speed. Zundar himself had defeated two Bone Hunters, one by accident, one awesomely. Erax tackled Fero and put his sword to Fero's neck, keeping him still. Fero was told to leave alive and let the four know of any Ignika sightings.

Zundar then assisted in carving out a cave for the quartet to sleep in overnight.

Powers and Abilities
Zundar is a Runask of Fire, able to control flame to some extent, with similar, yet slightly different, abilities to a Toa of Fire. One notable difference is that Zundar has less of a resistance to heat than a Toa of Fire, as is true of all Runask of Fire.

Zundar is a skilled combatant and acrobat,has an excellent aim, and has the ability to fight with a flowing, efficient flair.

Tools
Zundar carries a retractable blade affixed to his forearm, which can extend to about five feet in length and retract almost completely back into the hilt.

Zundar also carries a dual-barreled cannon on his arm, the right barrel firing high-powered lasers, the left firing stun blasts which can shut down electrical systems, including the nervous system.

Personality and Traits
Zundar is cold, bitter, and sarcastic, making him not too pleasant to be around, but, if talked to, Zundar will turn out to be just a little impaired in his social abilities.

Trivia

 * Argh once told Sidd that he looks a lot like a Space Pirate from Metroid Prime 3, but with a less hideous face and, obviously, more Bionicle-like qualities.
