Makuta Dahfk

The Makuta Dahfk were a group of five Makuta artificially produced by Chirox during his Experiment Dahfk.

History
Experiment Dahfk was founded after Teridax took control of the Brotherhood of Makuta. Chirox began to conduct experiments concerning the gaseous Antidermis, the change to which from solid muscular tissue had been recently discovered. Teridax approved the extraction twenty or so of Antidermis samples from various members of the Brotherhood.

A sample from Icarax was used to begin the experiments, And through combining various Kraata with the Antidermis sample, Energized Protodermis, and some viruses, a young Makuta was born. He was Rovex, the first of the Makuta Dahfk, but his potential was never shown. He was animalistic at best, weaker in capabilities than a true Makuta, and was considered by a few to be an abomination to the Makuta kind. When Icarax learned of the results the experiment had produced, he flew straight to Destral himself and destroyed Rovex.

Chirox's experiment was never shut down, though, so he went forward with his plan. His next three were made together. Rahona, from the Antidermis of Spiriah, Tonok, from Krika, and Tharil, from Gorast. Their growth went more quickly, and their powers seemed much nearer in scale to those of Makuta than Rovex, but they did not have the innate mastery of their powers most Makuta had, and so had to go through a training process. When their training was mostly complete, and they had selected armor and masks and shapeshifter into their final forms, they were collected by Vamprah for a mission to test their strength. They were sent to hunt down and kill the Toa of Iron Sarhab, and since this was a possibly deadly mission, the Brotherhood decided the Dahfk were expendable enough to risk. In the end, Tonok and Rahona were vaporized and Tharil had his Antidermis dissipated. This was seen by the entire Brotherhood as proof that Experiment Dahfk was failed.

Chirox had been growing one more Dahfk. This was created from the Antidermis of Teridax himself. Chirox felt that his effort would be wasted if he destroyed the growing Makuta, so he kept it hidden and released it when it was more grown. It had been named Durulon. He saw it again in Karda Nui, where he attempted to disintegrate it by lowering its density with his density control power.

Abilities and Traits
All five Makuta Dahfk have access to the element of Shadow, as well as all 42 Kraata Powers, but do not have the ability to produce Kraata. All grow and mature from a animalistic state to a more conscious, intelligent state, and their powers grow with them.
