Fleshbender

Fleshbenders were a species created by Makuta Thelmox that quickly went extinct after they were released into the wilderness. They later became the influence to create the Dreamweaver species.

History
Fleshbenders were an early experiment conducted by Makuta Thelmox and were intended to be used as a part of Makuta Teridax's plan. When they were made, they primarily inhabited the islands of Karzahni, Tren Krom's island and Xia. Those which inhabited Xia soon died out as the Vortixx found use in their tusks when making weapons. The Fleshbenders of Karzahni and Tren Krom's island grew extinct only 700 years into their existence.

Abilities and Traits
The Fleshbender species was capable of manipulating the cellular composition of any living creature as long as it was organic. Beings such as the Glatorian or Agori would have been considerably more at risk than a Toa, Matoran or Turaga because of their organic to mechanical composition ratio. Beings like the Bohrok were viciously vulnerable to Fleshbenders as their Krana were organic, the Toa Inika's masks could also be interfered with had the species been alive to see them.

Fleshbenders were malicious, cruel and extremely cold hearted. They stopped at nothing to render their prey incapacitated.

Trivia

 * As the Makuta abandoned their bodies to favour a somewhat gaseous form, they were completely immune to the abilities of a Fleshbender.
 * After the failure of the Fleshbender species, Thelmox asked Makuta Antrox for help in creating the Dreamweavers which became a success to some extent.
