Dondo's Fanged Tuonisar, an old inhabitant of Mata Nui, is a sub-species of tuonisar.  It is the only purely land-dwelling tuonisar, yet along evolution's path it has retained its long neck and tail, formerly used to cling to trees.  Males, like the one pictured, are endowed with a tangle of wires and cables around the torso that carry healing protodermis that it uses to heal itself, its young, and its mate.  Young, and female fanged tuonisars are unable to heal quickly.  Only the male has that ability, as it is expected to fight for food and protect its den.

 

"Sar" is an ancient Matoran word for "Serpent", with "tuo" and "ni" meaning fanged and double respectively (ni's direct translation is "a multiple of two").  It was discovered by one of the first founding Turaga, Dondo.

 

On rare occasions, they can be trained to follow and protect you, as demonstrated by the shaman in picture three.
