Takea

The Takea were a species of confrontational, shark-like Rahi.

History
The Takea species were originally created in collaboration between Makuta Vamprah and Makuta Kojol using viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the species to inhabit the Matoran Universe.

Due to their tolerance for multiple environmental conditions, Takea were widely distributed across the Matoran Universe in aquatic ecosystems. Over the course of several years, the species revealed themselves to be a predatory and ill-tempered breed of Rahi, dominating most aquatic food chains. Sharing an ecosystem with various other aquatic species, the Takea came to develop a natural rivalry with the Tarakava, often coming into confrontation over territory and feeding habits.

In Metru Nui, the Takea population was known to have taken up residence in the Silver Sea, sometimes drifting inland into the canals of Ga-Metru and frequently being exhibited in the Archives. Across the island, fishing practices were considered illegal and unproductive, thereby allowing the Takea population to flourish.

Following the Great Cataclysm, several of the Ga-Metru waterways became polluted, forcing the Ruki population to migrate across the Silver Sea and into an ocean current that brought them to the island of Mata Nui. Following the schools of smaller fish, so too did a population of Takea migrate to the island.

Having completed her quest to locate the Kanohi masks of power scattered around Ga-Wahi, Toa Gali notably came into conflict with an especially aggressive Takea. After a brief confrontation, the Toa of Water was known to have used her Kanohi Pakari to wrestle with the specimen before throwing it clean out of the water and continuing on her way.
