It looks like the toa of light is riding a whale. do you think he is?If so why?

Welcome to BZP, LEWA. I hope you'll enjoy your time here.

As for your question: we all thought is was a whale to, but GregF(arshty), the writer of the Bionicle comics, told us that it's a vehicle, not an animal, so we're pretty much in the dark about what it actually is...

Welcome!
As Schizo already told you it's a vehicle, I dont have to. My theory about it is that it can separate and become Exo-like armor for the Toa of Light to face off with Makuta.

It's name is an Ussanii, I think. I'm sure that the spelling is wrong, but you get the basic idea.

Where did you hear that? Anyway it is a vehicle not a whale.

That's Ussanui . Personaly I like the thing, and I am patiently
waiting to see if it was built buy the same poeple who built the
Exo-Toa. On Mask of Destiny Purple Dave found out at Toyfair
that the Ussanui has had some changes done to it... like a dark
grey Hau (!). And I for one want to see how it fits in to the story
and model alike.

PS: Purple Dave and Binkmiester got shown it on the BIONICLE
van at Toyfair, but due to common decency, they decided not to
take pictures.

When we first saw it I'm pretty sure Gregf told us that it floated on air not on water and later yes he said it was named Ussanui.
