Sets That Look Like Animals.

[DeLaSouth]

Animorphisisi-... whatever.The most obvious would be the Mistika (mosquito, beetle, stick-insect-thing)post them here.Like Zaktan. Looks like a gator. With his feet, teeth, chin, spine, legs, colour scheme, pretty much everything about him is an alligator. Or a crocadile. I don't know the difference.Bahrag look like T-Rex.This is a stretch, but to me, Onewa & Whenua Hordika look like Sloths to me, with the drooped faces, colour schemes and big low-hanging arms.

[Kopekemaster]

Hm. I would say Fenrakk. (Kinda spider-like.) Oh, and the Visorak (for the same reason).

[P962]

Fenrakk(spider), Rahkshi(snakeish like), and the Visorak(spiders) all look like critters to me...

[P~M]

Rahi. :PThe Mistikuta (punny), as stated above, as well as the Phantoka Makuta (bats).I agree with DeLaSouth about Zaktan.Rahkshi are like erect velociraptors, sort of. Dunno why.--

[GeluNumber1]

The visorak are spiderish, and the makuta mistika are various insects.

[Toa Smoke Monster]

The Kardas Dragon looks like, well, a dragon to me. :PAlso, rock steeds remind me of a t-rex.

[Zarohum]

I'd say the best animal set was Spinax.

[Akuna Toa of Sonics]

All of the obvious Rahi, of course.The Bahrag reminded me of a tyrannosaurus a lot, and Spinax looked much like a guard dog, except for his giant back spikes.

[Peach 00]

Obviously Spinax (guard dog), the Visorak, (spiders) Fenrakk (spider; Kardas Dragon as well, looking of course like a dragon), and the Rahkshi have an animal look about them, kind of snakelike. As well, Vezok is kind of like an animal-like beast to be honest. ()

[Ektris]

How has nobody mentioned the Barraki yet? You know, the guys whose theme was resembling aquatic animals? ~|ET|~

[Toatapio Nuva]

Gali Mistika, of course, is a bunny. With a waffel iron.And many other sets looked like animals as well.

[Bambi]

Nui-Rama.

[Aris621]

Well, of course all the Rahi looks like animals... XDBut the Rahi from 2001 does really look like animals.- Nui Rama: Flies- Nui Jaga: Scorpions- Manas: Crabs- Muaka: Tiger / big cat- Kane Ra: Bull

[Sumiki]

The Barraki looked sort-of like animals. I know their intention was to portray predators of the sea, but I didn't see "shark" in Pridak. Carapar looked like a crab, Mantax was a manta ray (fitting), and Takadox, for some inane reason, looked like a glowing preying mantis, but only three out of the six looked like the legit animals they were based upon. Kalmah didn't look much like a squid, and I really couldn't see the "eel" in Pridak.2007 was a good year in that regard, because Spinax was possibly the best animalistic set, even if he was only half a set - and he did look like kind of a chimaera of a dog and some spiny sea urchin - but I could see "animal" in Spinax so much more than I could for the Barraki.As far as the people listing the Visorak and Fenrakk as "spiders" go, I can see the resemblance, but I can't list them as "sets that look like animals". For one thing, spiders have eight legs, and the Visorak (and Fenrakk) have only four legs. The Visorak had oversized mandibles, but their carapace was solid, as a real spider. Fenrakk, though, I can barely defend that. No real "carapace", the mouth of a dragon (it always did look better on Kardas), and of course, half the legs needed.

[BioGio]

Spinax was probably the set that looked most like a real animal at a quick glance, although my favorite animal-based sets were the Nui-Jaga. When it comes to canister sets that looked like an animal after which they were modeled, Vamprah was a very clever design, I thought, looking probably the most like a stylized bat, with his tiny feet and clawed wings. As for the Mistika, Krika being some sort of predatory mantis I also understand, and I also liked the mosquito theme of Gorast, which was even executed in the Kanohi; however, I could never really see Bitil as anything.

The Barraki were probably my favorite canister sets with animal appearances; I'm oddly partial to Carapar (especially when slightly modified to be more symmetrical.) I agree that Pridak, Kalmah, and Ehlek did not have clear themes, but overall the nearly-animal nature of the Barraki was executed well.~ BioGio

[Tech Warrior]

How do you forget about Pewku and Gukko? They were obviously suppose to be a crab and a bird, respectively.Nivawk was a cleverly-designed bird as well.Kikanalo looked as if it were to be some kind of bull?Gadunka is a funny-looking fish in my opinion.And Skrimix? Is he suppose to be a dragon?Everyone above me pretty much named the rest. Tarduk, Zesk, Vorox, etc. may be considered animal-like as well.

[BioGio]

Oh, yeah, Pewku and the Gukko were well-designed, but I never came into possession of either. However, I don't think that Nivawk was the best in design, although it was obviously a bird; and the Kikanalo were slightly too bipedal for my tastes.~ BioGio

[Guest TahuOmega]

Visorak look like spiders, Hannah looks like a crab, rahi look like animals, etc.

[FrozenFlash]

Kikanalos are rhinos, Nivawk could be a falcon, while Rahi Nui is a mix of a bunch of animals...

[Aris621]

Almost forgot:Kikanalo looks like a Rhinoceros

[Waffles]

Well, in the later years many looked like animals. The Karda Nui Makuta all had animal qualities, and the Barraki were all based on aea animals.

[GREENWOLF]

i am thinking of the new hero factory 3.0 series - Bulk 3.0 with the wolf mask - it makes him seem wolfish - i know stupid thing to say but that set is based around animals but i think the wolf mask is the most amazing thing of the group - but that is me

[Eragon3443]

Fenrakk, the Visorakk of course, Spinax. Maybe the Barraki. all the Rahi =P.

[Mr. Fluffy]

The Shadowed One looks sort of like a llama.

[Eragon3443]

The Shadowed One looks sort of like a llama.

LOL!

[Reya]

2007 was a good year in that regard, because Spinax was possibly the best animalistic set, even if he was only half a set - and he did look like kind of a chimaera of a dog and some spiny sea urchin - but I could see "animal" in Spinax so much more than I could for the Barraki.

What about the Nui-jaga though? I thought they captured the distinctive deatures of a scorpion quite well.

[Terminus]

Rahi were the best, although that's kinda obvious since they are the animals of the bionicle universe.I'd have to say Zesk, Vorox, Click and Skirmix, plus all of the other obvious ones.

What about the manas crab? Or was that not a set? Or maybe I'm thinking of an Ussal crab XD.

[Dr. Strangelove]

If humans count as animals, then most of the Toa, Turaga, and Matoran, I would say, look like animals.

[Eragon3443]

How has nobody mentioned the Barraki yet? You know, the guys whose theme was resembling aquatic animals? ~|ET|~

I did =P The Misitka Makuta look like animals as well!

[Studs Not On Top]

Besides rahi, I loved the Barraki designs. Each one could be associated with a sea creature. Vamprah is also an amazing representation of a bat.

[Mask collector]

Don't forget the Pit war Tortoise...looks like a Tortoise...lol, and there is also the combo of Vakama, Onewa and Matau Metru that looks like a Scorpion!

[Aris621]

Now I realise that there are pretty much sets that looks like a scorpion. Some examples are:- Nui Jaga- Kofo Jaga- Kraatu- Kinloka (looks more like a scorpion than a rodent)- Scorpio (of course)- Zesk (only because of its tail)

[aki-adams1992]

Kikanalo from the Limited Edition Toa Lhikan and Kikanalo set clearly resembles a rhinocerus.

[Parazan]

Kikalano was a Kangaroo/Rhinosorous hybrid thing.-CDP

[Logan Tec]

kikalano were like rhinos but they were also deer because they had the really powerful long legs so deer makes sence to me

[christo1096]

Gadunka (Deep-Sea fish like) and fenrakk (Spider like)

[Protodite Karzahni]

I think the Rahi are pretty much a given. Animals will look like animals. For anthropomorphisism, the Barraki win hands (fins?) down. They look just like the animals that they were intended to represent.

[Taipu1]

Kikanalo = RhinocerosRather obvious that one.All the Barakki had their own various resemblances to sea creatures, Pridak probably being the most akin to the shark that he is meant to be.
