All discussion concerning Lhiikan goes here. Discussion on his team of Toa should go here as well. Other topics will be closed.

[Edit by bonesiii]

Thanks to a suggestion from InnerRayg, and with the help of many members (especially GregF!), a list of facts about Lhikan has been put together. Enjoy!

• GregF: "At some point, in the past, there were more Toa on Metru Nui than just Lhikan. But he has been the only one for a long, long time."
  
  
• He's guardian over the whole city; all six Metru.
  
  
• He is a Toa of Fire.
  
  
• He's at the same power level as the Toa Olda, Takanuva, and the other six Toa Metru.
  
  
• He wears a yellow Great Hau. The preliminary set version is a gold modified Hau.
  
  
• He is red and yellow, and the same style as the other six Toa Metru. In the preliminary set version, he is gold, black, and red.
  
  
• He has some sort of connection to Jaller.
  
  
• He gave the six Toa stones to Vakama, etc. allowing them to become Toa Metru.
  
  
• He has been captured by the Dark Hunters Nidhiki and Krekka, in Ta-Metru.
  
  
• Nidhiki has some past connection with Lhikan. It's not known if they met as friends or enemies.
  
  
• His tools, called "Fire Greatswords," are swordlike, and double as a surfboard, which can fly. Apparently it can also be thrown.
  
  
• Lhikan will be released as a 30 dollar set. A preliminary version of the set has been featured at Comic Con, and it comes with a Kikanalo. Here is the news article about it: Toa Lhikan Debuts at Comic-Con, featuring photos.
  
  
• In the preliminary set photos, Lhikan is shown riding the Kikanalo. Greg says he does not actually ride in in the movie.
  
• On Mata Nui, the Turaga made up the story of Lhii the Surfer, as a way to honor Lhikan in some way, without revealing to the Matoran all the details of Metru Nui (which would be cruel, since they did not expect to ever be able to return).
  
  
• He looks like this: [Lhikan, throwing Toa tool] [Lhikan's Hau] [with Matoran Whenua, lightened a bit] [Lhikan, somewhat blurry, but better lighting] [statue] [statue head] [preliminary set version]

A note, there is more that's known about him, which is posted later in this topic, but that is spoilers, and for now I am going to keep spoilers out of this list.

Thank you Kaiapu, i was waiting for an official Lhikan topic to pop up somewhere.

All i have to say is that I highly doubt Lhikans power is one we've seen before. Seeing as he is the sole protector of the city, why would he only have a single element to defend it with of which we would know?

EDIT: There used to be a list of what we know and don't know, but it's a bit useless now because of the first post...

This post has been edited by SPIRIT: Jul 22 2004, 05:42 AM

Yeah, I was posting this post just as Kaiapu decided to make the Official Topic and closed the rest->in other words, I was cut off. So here's my view on a possible Lhikan power....
Now what if, just what if, he had Protodermis power, the power of the nervous system almost(dermis=nerves end). He could be like the brain, and said the nerves through his tools, the bolt becomes protodermis, like a liquid extension of his tool. He'd therefore be similar to a Toa of Life (proto=stuff of life). I think it has a lot going for it....

Dang, SPIRIT, that's my trend...you stole my trend! j/k
Anyways, let me add to that list:
What we do know:

• His mask is not the Avohkii or the Kraahkan
  
• His element is not Light, Shadow, or Time

Mmm, good decision Kaiapu.

I don't think he would be Toa of Protodermis. I bet he is Toa of something else.

But, why did the Dark Hunters want Lhikan?

-WW

Maybe the dark hunters want to brainwash him into being on their side...or maybe he was on their side all along..

I don't think it was possible he was on their side. If so, why would he want the 6 Matoran to have the Toa Stones and become Toa?

-WW

Hm...........Perhaps,seeing as he was once the lone protector of the city,he has a power that lets him be at two places at once(But that would kinda be time travel...........).Heck,He can be the Toa of Wormholes for all we know.But,perhaps,energy,or speed?

Somehow I doubt Lhiikan was on their side. He supposedly was captured...unless that's another of the fabled truths that aren't really the truth. ::curses the turaga::)

BTW, thanks for making this topic, k'pu.

I made a little theory that Mata Nui has some direct connection to Lhikan, but I don't know for certain. I have assumed, however, that his element is something different from what we know... Virtue, possibly, Guidance, Leadership, or perhaps Creation.

I've just got to say this though,
No one yet has come up with a good reason for not having the Protodermis power. And it's the only one I've seen with enough proof so far, can anyone give good reason why it can't be?

If so, back to the drawing board

If not, yea me!

Off topic: I'm going to complain for a minute. I asked Kaiapu If I could make an official Lhiikan topic and then he says no and now he makes one.

ON topic: maby the dark hunters wanted him because he had the toa stones? that would make since.

Thanks, Kaiapu! It's much easier to live around S&T with an offical topic on a certain subject that keeps popping up all over.....it's like playing that game where you whack plastic moles with a giant hammer.....

Lhikan's "case" is a bit mysterious as of now. Y'know, I wonder if he even has an Elemental power at all....but that would seem weird if he didn't.....
It's hard to guess much about him right now. I won't even try.

I have a theory on why the Dark Hunters want Lhikan, and it's pretty good I think.

Okay, when Dume asks Vakama to make the Vahi, Vakama can't finish it as we know, but gives what he
came up with to Dume. Dume wants to give it to Lhikan so he can protect the island from the Morbuzahk
which have just appeared, and to stop upcoming threats. Lhikan takes it and he brings it with him where-
ever he goes because he knows it's important. (I'm not saying Lhikan's mask is the Vahi, just that he can
and might use it) The Dark Hunters learn fo this, and Nidhiki and Krekka plot to capture the Vahi because
even though they can't use it, niether could Lhikan if they have it with them. Lhikan learns of this somehow
and decides that it is time to give the Toa Stones (which I belive GregF said were in the Great Temple) to
six chosen Matoran. He gives Vakama's last ( because if itw asn't Vakama who had last seen Lhikan then
that would mean there would be a smaller number of Toa, because Lhikan would not finish handing them
out.) and Vakama and Likan are ambushed by Nidhiki and Krekka whom drag him off, with the Vahi.

So, Lhikan had the Vahi. The Dark Hunters wanted to take the Vahi. Dume gave Lhikan the Vahi.

This is just a theory so no jumping up and snapping 'no', 'your dumb', etc. I get enough of that from school.

Maybe they did it to Divert Suspicion.

I think that Lhikan is the Toa of Water or the Toa of Stone.Because of my Eye Color Theory. If Dume is Lhikans Toa,They Probably have the Same eye Color,Like Tahu and Turaga Vakama.So his Eyes would be Orange.Which Two other Toa have Orange Eyes?Pohatu and Nokama.

BT

Whew. We needed this. It'll really clean up S+T, what topics weren't about Lhikan were about Dume. Is there an Official Dume topic?
Now that I have that out of my boot, we also know that he is not from Ga-Metru, and he isn't Jaller, or anyone we've heard of before. ( Well, Lhii-but he dosn't count.)
Gee, I think most of what we learn is going to be by process of elimination.

I thought Lhikan was the toa metru of light but maybe he is gonna be a new element

on metru nui there is no water, only protodermis.
and they call it water becouse they don´t know what real water is.
but then nokama must be toa metru of protodermis?

He Probaly Knew he was gonna be cabtured so he gave the stones tho the matoran to summon new heros and save him

i doubt he'll become a set...its possible though......but i think hes elementless

I think you guys are forgeting but his element is fire. Why do you yhink vakama hounours him so much? He even made the legend of Lhii. And Greg said so I think.

well, as many have probably already stated, he cannot be the toa of protodermis since that is nokama really
i think the dark hunters want him because he had the toa stones but they got him too late, but they hold him captive so he can't be a good guy anymore and is therefore a trapped guy instead
i for some reason picture him as a silver toa matau because lhikan to me sounds like the name of a le-koronan/metruan for some reason, it must be the Lh sound
that is all i have to say for now

I have just one question.

Who determined that Lhikan is a GUY? I would not be surprized if Lhiikan was a GIRL.

This sound like a good theory, but there is one tiny error. Takanuva has yellow eyes & he lives/lived in Ta-koro. Also the Bohrok eyes are different then the toa (Nuvok should have had Dark Green Onua eyes not Light Green Lewa).

My theory is that Lhikan is the Toa Metru of Electricity. thae big difference between Mata Nui & Metru Nui is the technology. What does Metru Nui have that was not on Mata Nui? ELECTRICITY (seen in the Toa Vakama video when the vines cut the wires)

Another Question. What is the correct spelling of Lhikan? I have seen it spelled five different ways.

Lhikan truly is a mysterious toa. But I still wonder why th Dark hunters chose him as their first topic.



Huge credit goes to Matau-Nuva for the great Avartar!

Let's see Lhikan is the first Toa, the other Toa's come afterward and have their own individual Kanohi with it's own power.

Perhaps Toa Lhikan had a Golden Kanohi and he seperated the powers to prevent them all from being captured or destroyed at one time. Using this argument I would think that Toa Lhikan has a Golden Kanohi with all 6 powers and that is why Nidiki and Krekka wanted him out of the way.

Thinking that the Morbuzakh could handle the individual Toa Metru easier than one "super" Toa.

Lihkan captured... sounds an awful lot like Mata Nui just a wild totally way out theory... is he Mata Nui (young maybe) and conenction with Jaller, Mata Nui needed Jaller to wake him up.... i dunno but this whole Lihkan/mata nui thing getting captured/put to sleep is on big de ja vu anyhoo, do we know for sure Lihken has a place in this years plot?
I mean I wouldn't be suprised if he's just like a "leagend" and doesn't actually appear kinda like mata nui.... never see him either

I think Lhikan must have made mask of light and the masks of power. Like in comic 16 they couldn't talked to dume. Because he live in ta metru I think? They must of talked to Lhikan?

i recon the dark hunters want lihkan because hes the only toa , cuz i herd this:

lihkahn had a vision and left the toa stones to the turaga.

Let me lay down the facts: What we Know: 1) Lhiikan is the first Toa Metru. 2) He gave six Matoran the Toa Stones so that they could become Toa Metru too. 3) He has been captured by Nidhiki and Krekka, the Dark Hunters. 4) He has a connection, not a relation, with Jaller. 5) His mask is not the Avohkii or the Kraahkan. (Master of the Rahkshi) 6) His element is not Light, Shadow, or Time. (Master of the Rahkshi) What we don't Know: 1) Were he got the stones from. 2) What he looks like. 3) What his mask and powers are (if he has any). If you would like to add, let me know.

[U]I think they should make his element lightning and thunder that would be cool.I hope his color is yellow for a change.[COLOR=blue]

Ooh arr....

Raymondo' tinks that Lhiikan was a Toa Metru of fire...after alot of stuff...
but, he's probably a Toa of...nothing...maybe he has just, brute strength, or all in one!(elemental powers, or maybe their personalities, or specialities... )'tis either all or one... Dont i remember seeing that Lhiikan(two i's?ho-hum...) was Lhii??? And maybe Toa Vakama will have another vision of Lhiikan, being...*gulp* ...'sto-len'.... And we will see it, and either;
1. Fully see him, mask an' all...
2. Just see his arm...and his voice...(just like the Gollum part from Lord Of The Rings, The Fellowhip Of The Ring...you know, arm in air,"Shire..!..Baggins!..")

well, i never knew he had a connection with Jaller...finding-holding...- something specia-THE STONES! YEY!...well, just coincidential...

I doubt that we will even see lihkan till the movie. Maybe he doesnt even have an ellement.

QUOTE (munkeymunkey @ Mar 9 2004, 09:40 PM)

dermis=nerves end

Your right about proto refering to the basis of life, but dermis refers to skin not nerve. So life skin, kind of weird don't you think? As far as Lhiikan goes, you got me there.

Supposedly, the Mask-Makers of Ta-Metru make Great Kanohi for Lhikan to use. They make a lot. I think Dume asked for the Vahi to be used by Lhikan. If Lhikan could ever need so many masks spare isnt it feasable that Lhikan has no power over any element. To me this seems like a very real possibility. If there is a Lhikan set, he will most likely be able to fit all current masks quite comfortably. As for his newer mask, it'll be something that would help him get around a lot better, like a Great Kanohi of Teleportation(There is certainly a possibility. There is a Kanoka of teleportation, why not a mask?) Whatever it is, we are most likely to find out what its power is by process of elimination, or GregF will tell us. Only time will tell(looks with interest at his Vahi...)

And Ai of the red mask, we will definetly see Lhikan in the movie.

But do you remember when tahu uses the mask of time?He said that Vakama gave it to him.
So how could Lhiikan and tahu use it both?

They don't call it water!!!!!!!! They call it protodermis, I wonder why? Maybe because it IS protodermis.........oh my, amazing.

Anyway, water is thought to be part of protodermis(like water is part of your orange juice). Therefore, Nokama, is controling the water part of the protodermis, and also can happen to just happily take control of the rest(a lot is composed of water is the implication).

So, next batter....

What we don't Know:

1) Were he got the stones from.

2) What he looks like.

3) What his mask and powers are (if he has any).

If you would like to add, let me know.

Also we don't know if Lhikan is a female or a male.

We do actually know Lhiikan's gender. Lhiikan is male. He will be a Ta-koronan on Mata-nui

- Dume...  A lot of people are 100% sure he was once a Toa... Is this true? - Was he the first Toa? If not, how many came before him and will they ever be revealed? - Was Turaga Dume Lhikan? - Will Lhikan ever be revealed in the comics or as a set (or any other form of media other than the novels)? Thanks! 1) I have no info on Dume's past, so I don't know if he was a Toa or not. It would make sense, but I cannot confirm it. 2) Dume? No, Dume would not have been the first Toa, if he was one. 3) Oh no. Lhikan and Turaga Dume exist at the same time. 4) Lhikan will be in the movie, and may be a set, but that is not definite yet. Greg

Some questions I asked raised more answers. Well if Dume was a Toa he wasn't the first. And I'm assuming that he's been around before Lhikan... So we might wannna change even the little information we have.

I think Lhikan is some sort of extension of Mata Nui. I mean, we don't know what powers Mata Nui has, and being captured by the Dark Hunters may have had a hand in putting him to sleep.
