Cruxida

Darkness carries many meanings. It is the inherent opposite of Light, casting a pallor upon the hearts of the Matoran populace wheresoever it appears. It conceals, masking the monsters in the gulf of night, blotting out the stars in the sky. And it corrupts, eroding the bonds of unity, the measures of duty, and the purpose of destiny.

 

Makuta Cruxida of Aegr-ka("Morsus Nui"), reborn after his defeat in the Sundering Conflict.

Part-spider, part-praying mantis.

Four fully matured Kraata within his arachnid 'bulb' lend additional powers to Cruxida's awful might, enhancing his shadow-webbing and agility.

Stare into the burning eyes, and the eyes stare back into you...

... and then you become his prey, devoured mask and all.

But where there is a Makuta, so too must there be Rahi who serve him, even if indirectly. And Cruxida has carried many in his voyage across the silver seas, some bred, others created, yet all brought forth with the aide of his loyal machine servant.

 

A fallen Hau is fitting for an agent of the shadows.

With telepathy rods, his limbs may freely move about, elsewise they remain close at hand.

Yet what makes the Makuta tick? What goal has driven him across three islands, from Morsus Nui, to Varsai Nui, and ultimately toward Mana Nuva?

 

Cursed Konohi Aegrum, the Mask of Torment.

Forged from the forsaken Great Disks of Aegr-ka and put to maximum effect in torturing those who opposed his rule, Cruxida bent or else broke the mental powers and spirit of any who were captured and forced to wear this cursed mask, leaving naught but an empty shell whence the Aegrum's removal.

 

 

I'll make another topic to feature the diverse Rahi and Turaga of Mana Nuva some day down the road. For now I wanted to present my latest Makuta, his primary servant, and the cause of strife within my island.
