Shifters (Rahi)

Shifters are mammal-like Rahi from a dead island in the far south of the Matoran Universe.

History
The Shifters were created by the Makuta as Rahi to populate the Matoran Universe. They were tested on an unknown island near the bottom on the Universe, by attacked their creators. The several hundred specimiens activated their chameleon powers and dissappeared from the Makuta.

Since then, Matoran have reported seeing strange creatures - black and orange, with strong hind legs and a weaponised tail - the Shifters.

At some point in history, one Shifter revealed himself to Curador. Curador showed compasion to the strange creature, which the Rahi wasn't used to. Curador then took the Shifter as a companion/pet and called it S5.

Appearance
Shifters are mammal-like bipeds, usually five feet tall, but taller have been seen. They have flat, toeless feet and strong legs﻿. Their short arms end in three fingered claws. They also have a weaponised tail, which is seven feet long. They are coloured orange and black, but due to chameleon ability, you might never see them.

Abilities
The Shifter race can blend into any environment, due to their chamelon powers. They also have the ability to jump extremely high and can attack enemies with their small yet powerful arms.

Natural tools
Shifters have sharp claws on their hands, which pack a powerful punch. Their weaponised tail varies with the bearer, but most have been seen with some-kind of launcher. S5's launcher fires small balls of piercing light.
