Skull Warrior

The Skull Warriors were a group of warriors on Okoto thousands of years ago. They were then reanimated by Skull Grinder to part of his army. They now wander the island, not having a master to control them.

History
Long ago on Okoto, the Skull Warriors were once guardians of the island until they died out and were replaced by the Protectors. Their bodies were buried all over the island, but mostly in the new-founded City of the Mask Makers.

Thousands of years later they were resurrected by Kulta while using Makuta's dark power. He ordered them to guard the City of the Mask Makers from the Elemental Toa. When they entered the city and activated a trap that locked them into a courtyard, they began to fire upon them from above, while other came up from the ground below.

One of them managed to detach Kopaka's Mask from his face and put it on. It used it to fire strong blasts of ice at them. Gali told Onua to use his hammer to bury the one on the ground and when he did he buried them but also destroyed the bridge that they took to get into the city.

When hope seemed lost, Lewa returned and knocked the warriors from above down to the Toa who quickly defeated them. Tahu beheaded the one with Kopaka's Mask and recovered it. The Toa then left, Pohatu throwing a boulder through the door.

Later, the Protectors and Harvali came into the City and found the remains of the Skull Warriors the Toa had fought. They fought them off. The giant serpent they had met below the city came and helped defeat them. After they were disabled, the group moved to the Forge of the Mask Makers.

After the Toa had received their new armor from Ekimu and the Okotans moved into the City, a large group them were taken over by Skull Spiders which controlled them since Kulta was defeated by the Toa and Ekimu. The Toa fought them off until they left them to the Protectors to go find the Elemental Creatures.

The rest now wander the island.
