History
The Land Shark's history is hugely unknown. No-one on Galvu Nui even knows his real name and species. He does, however, seem to know the Makuta that are currently invading Galvu Nui, and he refers to an old friend of his, a warrior named Hydraxon...

Galvu Nui
The Land Shark was brought to Galvu Nui, he claims, by a distress signal sent out throught Galvu Nui's version of the Kanohi Olmak, the Mask of Dimensional Gates, which is ten times as powerful as the one in the true Bionicle universe. When he arrived at Galvu Nui, thanks to means unknown, he found that there were Matoran living there, and they were in crisis. A horde of deadly carniverous Rahi called Toxions had overrun Galvu Nui and were killing off all the Matoran. Their leader wanted to get a hold of the Kanohi Olmak, so they could colonise other universes for food. The Land Shark then killed all the Toxions and the leader, save for one, which the Land Shark made peace with. He was made the ruler of Galvu Nui by the hugely grateful Matoran, and remained there ever since. He was alerted to the Toa of Light's arrival in Galvu Nui that sparked off the Dimensional War. He sides with the Toa of Light and the Toa Galvu, and is disgusted to see that the surviving Toxion has joined forces with the invading Makuta.

Personality
The Land Shark is fiercely protective of his Matoran subjects, who call him 'Master Land Shark'. He refuses to let the Makuta win, and protects Galvu Nui's Kanohi Olmak with his life, if necessary. He also watches over another mask kept in Galvu Nui, one far more powerful than its counterpart in the true Bionicle universe. He has a warm character, but is brutally fierce in battle, sometimes requiring Takanuva and the Toa Galvu to bring him to his senses. If one of his Matoran die, he becomes depressed and sulky, racked with a guilt that only he can understand.

Tools and Abilities
The Land Shark bears resemblences to a shark with legs and has the ability to survive on land and in water. He is an incredibly powerful swimmer, physically strong and agile on both terrains. He weilds dual scimitars with the collective name 'Ocean's Fury', which have the combined power of manipulating and recreating the power of water and the sea, and wears the Kanohi Kikitu, the Mask of Detectability. It allows the wearer to detect anything that the wearer wishes, and can 'cloak' the user and whoever the user chooses, so that n-one else can detec them, which is why no-one has been able to pinpoint Galvu Nui's dimensional location in the past twenty millenia. Unfortunatly, due to a past mutation, the mask is fused to the Land Shark and is part of him.

Trivia
The Land Shark was created as a race for a book, but the creator, a YouTube user called LandSharkProductions decided to create the race's god in Bionicle form, dubbing it 'The Land Shark' after his YouTube and fictional race's name.
