| Description: |
Tarakava live in the oceans and rivers of Mata Nui, preferring the shallows close to the shoreline. They are huge, lizard-like creatures that almost always hunt in pairs. Those Matoran villagers who sail the waters of Mata Nui have learned to fear the Tarakava more than any other Rahi. Like all Rahi, the infected masks they wear control Tarakava. If the masks are removed, they will cease fighting and can sometimes even be tamed. The Matoran villagers of Ga-Koro often take pity on stunned Tarakava and bring them into their village to care for them. |

| Notes |
| The forearms of the Tarakava are extremely powerful; one blow is strong enough to fell a large Nui-Jaga. There is also a 3rd colour of Tarakava. Originally made as a prototype, it is owned by only a couple of people. This is the Sand Tarakava it is similar to the other two, only slightly shorter, and colored yellow. These Tarakava reside in the desert of Po-Wahi, able to survive without water for long lengths of time. |
