Multi- Headed
Doom Vipers have six heads, each a different color: Black, White, Red, Blue, Green, and Brown.
Initiative is only rolled once for the Doom Viper, but each head makes its own separate attack. Attack
attempts may only be split between two different targets provided they are both within melee range and
standing next to each other.
Poisonous Breath
Merely being close to a Doom Viper is extremely hazardous to one’s health – unless that being is another
Doom Viper. Any time a character starts their turn within melee range of a Doom Viper they suffer 1d10
damage that ignores armor.
Fader Bull
The Fader Bull is a peaceful herbivore with the power to teleport, leaving behind a ghostly afterimage.

Teleport
The Fader Bull can teleport at will, usually away from danger, though it is as of yet unknown how much
control they have over this ability. Entire herds have been known to teleport to the same location and yet
they’re also known to teleport inside of things, getting themselves killed. If the GM chooses, they may
wish to treat Fader Bull teleports similar to a Teleportation Kanoka.

wait to ambush their prey. The Sand Tarakava replaces it’s Swimming +10 skill with Concealment +10.
They also replace their Water Resistance with Stone Resistance (half damage from Stone).
Robots and Mechanicals
Vahki
The Vahki are the enforcers of Metru Nui. Completely dedicated to maintaining order, they will hunt down
and subdue any threats, giving little thought to their own preservation. Aside from the occasional Rahi
breakout from the archives, Vahki usually spend their time making sure Matoran are working their jobs
and not participating in illegal activities or slacking off.

Kanoka Storehouse
Vahki hubs hold a collection of Kanoka that Vahki can have teleported to their Kanoka Launcher “mouths”,
similar to how a Toa Suva works.
Ultrasonic Speech
Though Vahki do technically communicate using the Matoran language, it is at such a high pitch and speed
that it is unintelligible to any other beings without the use of a special translator.
Varieties
Nuurakh
The Nuurakh patrol Ta-Metru. In order to prevent collateral damage, these Vahki prefer to utilize stealth
and ambush their targets with overwhelming numbers. They possess the Concealment Skill.
Nuurakh utilize Staffs of Command. An energy bolt from these stun staffs causes the affected mind to be
filled with one overriding command that is obeyed until the effect wears off.
Bordakh
The Bordakh patrol Ga-Metru. Their love of the chase means they usually worked in small, mobile squads
and they sometimes let a captive escape just so they can chase them again. They’re also the only Vahki
with any skill in the water, granting them the Swimming Skill.
Bordakh utilize Staffs of Loyalty. They make any target a wholehearted believer in order, willing to identify
any lawbreakers the target knows of, even if they are friends or allies. The target will then lead the
Bordakh to them.
Vorzakh
The Vorzakh patrol Le-Metru. These Vahki prefer to end a chase as quickly as possible and will smash their
way through anything and everything to do so. They have the Juggernaut Trait.
Vorzakh utilize Staffs of Erasing. They temporarily inhibit the higher mental functions of the target, leaving
only the target's motor skills intact. The result is a blank-eyed being wandering until the effect wears off.
Rorzakh
The Rorzakh patrol Onu-Metru. They never give up a chase under any circumstances, even if it means
their own destruction. Often times, their hope is that their quarry will eventually exhaust themselves,
making them easy to capture in the end. These Vahki possess the Tracking Skill.
Rorzakh utilize Staffs of Presence. The Vahki who used it receives an audio and a visual from any target
without the target's knowledge. They then use this to let their suspects lead them to their hideouts or
fellow criminals, giving them information before or during the chase.
Zadakh
The Zadakh patrol Po-Metru. With an appetite for combat, Zadakh are often known to overlook minor
infractions caused by Matoran. They much favor taking on Rahi and other threats that can put up a fight.
They possess the Massive Blow Feat.
Zadakh utilize Staffs of Suggestion. They cause targets to follow suggestions from almost anyone. A Zadakh
will typically use this on a lawbreaker and then let another Matoran get them back to work, so the Vahki
can get back to patrolling.
Keerakh
The Keerakh patrol Ko-Metru. Rarely seen in the open, these Vahki are very precise and tactical. Their
preferred method of capture was to determine where a target was going and then get their first. As such,
they possess the Logic Skill.
Keerakh utilize Staffs of Confusion. They have the ability to distort a target's sense of time and place. This
has the effect of so disorienting them that they could not cause any more trouble.
Other Creatures
Wild Rahkshi
After a Rahkshi had fulfilled its intended purpose, their Makuta creators would often release them into
the wild. These wild Rahkshi would wander the known universe without direction or purpose. While still
naturally destructive, their lack of focus makes them easier to deal with.
