Kekuelai

Kekuelai are small winged rahi that can reach remarkable flying speeds.

Being insectivores they are also extremely proficient in catching bugs mid-flight, and to any matoran skilled enough to catch and tame one they can become an invaluable tool for pest control.

Although not real avians they are sometimes referred to as "Ferina birds" due to their supposed resemblance to the armor of a mysterious toa of the same name, whose legend is well known amongst the inhabitants of the forest, despite its authenticity being dubious at best

Wuviki beetle

A small insect rahi commonly found buzzing around in the Le-Wahi jungle

Waala-waala are small butterfly-like rahi found almost everywhere on Mata Nui, greatly appreciated by matoran for their vibrant colors as well as their variety in shapes and sizes

As aesthetically pleasing as these rahi are they can however sometimes pose a threat to the ecosystem, as they feed primarily on the nutrient-rich sap of plants, and an overabundance of them can lead to serious environmental problems if their numbers aren't kept in check

Kanohi cricket

Kanohi crickets are bug-like rahi commonly found in Le-Wahi. They owe their name to their peculiar defense mechanism, which involves wearing a stolen kanohi on their hind section and flailing their back legs hoping to scare away or at least confuse potential predators

While they are unable to use the powers of the mask they're wearing the color of their body and limbs will change to match its element

Although generally meek in nature they do pose a threat to the unfortunate matorans whose kanohi they steal

The vessel

This composition comprising of 5 symbols was discovered on the walls of an hidden chamber, in a cave that was being explored by a group of speleologists, together with hundreds of other paintings mostly depicting animals and humans participating in various rituals and practices. It is still unclear if the symbols were meant to have any religious or mythological meaning or if they are merely the depiction of some prehistoric creatures still undiscovered by scientists

This peculiar statuette was found by a group of speleologists during the exploration of a newly discovered cave. The object was placed on a rudimentary altar, in a chamber full of animal remains laid all across the floor. Carbon dating revealed that said remains date back to at least 45.000 years ago
