Vydak was a Makuta assigned to the island of Stelt and a member of the Brotherhood of Makuta.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Vydak was created by Mata Nui alongside the other Makuta from a greenish-black liquid on an island in one the Southern Chains of the Matoran Universe. Alongside the rest of his species, he became a member of the Brotherhood of Makuta, an organization tasked with maintaining order and carrying out the will of Mata Nui.
Vydak was responsible for the creation of several Rahi breeds to populate the Matoran Universe during this early period, often creating more territorial but less prominent Rahi breeds, such as the Lava Hawk. Displaying some talent in the area, he never fully committed to the role of Rahi Creator, however, possessing more interest in other disciplines.
After the Matoran Civil War on Metru Nui came to an end, Vydak was assigned to supervise the island of Stelt by Makuta Miserix, who felt he was the most capable Makuta to supervise the island and its complex system of currency.
When Teridax demanded a Convocation to be held on Destral in order to reveal his plan and take over the Brotherhood, Vydak was one of the first Makuta to side with Teridax. With Miserix supposedly executed by Krika and Spiriah, he offered tactical support to Icarax and Gorast, who assumed responsibility for hunting down and eliminating his remaining followers, hanging their Kanohi in the Convocation Chamber as trophies.
Like all other Makuta, Vydak's Antidermis evolved to a gaseous virus-like state where he no longer required sleep or sustenance. Teridax ordered the Nynrah Ghosts to Destral to modify the Makuta's armor to accommodate this evolution.
Great Cataclysm[]
1000 years ago, the Brotherhood of Makuta would finally set in motion Teridax's Grand Plan, with Makuta simultaneously launching an unexpected assault upon the processors of the Matoran Universe, disabling Mata Nui and causing the Great Spirit Robot to crash on Aqua Magna. With Mata Nui now distinctly absent and the Matoran Universe debilitated by Makuta Teridax's efforts, the Brotherhood revealed itself as a decidedly malevolent organization making a bid for universal domination.
During the Dark Times, Vydak notably remained on Stelt, supervising the island and pursuing his own independent research into the use of the Kanohi Vahi. As such, Vydak took a less active role in the advancement of the Brotherhood of Makuta, and the island descended into anarchy.

Abilities and Traits[]
As a Makuta, Vydak possessed powerful elemental Shadow powers, abilities which after many centuries of use, he had fully mastered. He could even use his Shadow powers to heal others, should he feel it necessary. He also possessed shape-shifting abilities, Kraata production, great strength, and the forty-two Kraata powers.
For the majority of his life, Vydak was known to have worn a Great Mask of Aging, a Kanohi that allowed the user to slightly age one or more targets, typically weakening them and reducing their speed.
Forms[]
Vydak had access to 42 Rahkshi powers, including shape shifting. Below is a list of known forms taken by him.

Antidermis was the essence of all Makuta. It was a greenish-black energy that was contained inside his armor, and if leaked, it could float as mist over the air and be collected. However, the energy would dissipate after a period of time. |
