Notes[]
- Their appearance is based on real-life animals: Uxar is based on a dragonfly, Ketar on a scorpion, Akida on a shark, Ikir on an eagle, Terak on a mole and Melum on a polar bear.
- All of them have a gear function swinging their upper limbs up and down.
- Akida is the only Creature that has a shooting function.
- It is unknown till now if they are related to Toa somehow.
- Akida's name is similar to a real-life Greek word ( ακίδα ,a-KI-tha),that means "splinter".However,because δ (thelta) is the couterpart of d in Greek alphabet,they are written exactly the same.
- Their head is hollow inside and can be placed onto the new masks like helmets.
