Cans beings mutated from Matoran, like the aforementioned Dark Hunters and member of the Order of Mata Nui be turned into toa if it was their destiny, and if so would they keep any of the powers they currently have? My opinion is that individuals like Firedracax and the Subterranean would not be able to become toa as they are too mutated, while the others would be able to become toa. And if they become toa they would lose any extra abilities they possess. -
Hey, I was just wondering: When the Shadow matoran turned back into Av-matoran, did they eventually turn back into normal av-matoran or stay in their shadow matoran forms?

So, we know the Pit Mutagen is formed from Aqua Magna water reacting with normally harmless energies from the Matoran Universe. It mutates beings into water breathers, changing the appearance of some beings more than others, and some are immune to it. It can also grant new abilities or boost pre-existing ones (in the case of Ehlek and Takadox, respectively), but it can also have harmful effects -- it's damaging to Kanohi and weapons, and prevented the mutated Makuta from accessing some of their powers.But do you really think that a substance that consistently altered those exposed to it into water breathers would have resulted by chance? Consider that after a brief exposure to it, the Matoran of Mahri Nui were returned to their original forms, or something close. How could that be?I wonder if something else was involved: some sort of energy or substance that was designed to help restore beings, or if necessary alter them to fit their environment. I don't know where it could have come from, but I think it explains why a brief exposure cured the Mahri Nui Matoran of their bad repair job -- maybe they have some sort of default build programmed into them that the mutagen called upon. Those that needed to be able to breath water to survive were granted that ability, and the mutagen also gave sea animal-like qualities when necessary, to help them adapt. But of course, whatever was doing these repairs was never meant to mix with water, hence the random and harmful effects. And I don't expect the Barraki could have just climbed up on land and dumped mutagen on themselves to make them able to breath air again -- the fact that it's in water could be what makes it turn beings into water breathers. As for the Mahri Nui Matoran's case, maybe the airweed had something to do with it. Perhaps the mutagen was aerosolized in that case?I admit, it's not that solid a theory. But I'm trying to come up for some explanation for the mutagen's properties.
