Teridax (DMU)

In the Dark Mirror Universe, Teridax was a member of the resistance against Tuyet. After the fall of Tuyet, he began plotting a takeover of the Matoran Universe with the other Makuta.

Dark Mirror
Some time after the Toa Empire was established, Teridax and the other Makuta were targeted for extinction. Destral was overrun and they were forced into hiding in the Metru Nui Archives. Teridax's mask, the Kanohi Kraahkan, was obtained by Tuyet and placed in an exhibit in the Archives that would alert her if anyone touched it. Teridax was forced to don an infected Kanohi Hau instead, for he could not risk alerting Tuyet to their location by retrieving the Kraahkan.

One day, Teridax detected the presence of a Toa and a Matoran in the Archives and shapeshifted into the form of Tuyet to investigate. He found that the intruders were Takua and a Takanuva from an alternate universe, who were there to free Dume from stasis. Once the Turaga had been freed, Teridax captured Takua and Takanuva and led them to the Makuta's lair. Takanuva's story about being from an alternate universe piqued Teridax's interest, and he offered to help escort the Toa out of the city if he stole the Kanohi Vahi for them from a naval shipment.

When the time came for the Resistance against Tuyet to attack the Coliseum, Teridax led a squadron consisting of Krika, Kojol, Dume, and Takua into battle. A Toa of Iron and a Toa of Plasma forced him to retreat for a moment by using their combined powers to kill Takua and Kojol. Teridax soon charged into battle again, working with Krika to overwhelm Lewa with their Kraata powers; Teridax struck the finishing blow. This seemed to be a winning strategy, as many more Toa fell before them, giving Takanuva the opportunity he needed to escape into the Coliseum.

Dusk and Dawn
Teridax and Krika both survived the battle, standing victorious over the Toa as Lesovikk declared that Tuyet was dead. When Dume announced that the remaining leaders of the Matoran Universe should meet to discuss their future, Teridax decided to attend the meeting, bringing Krika with him as an aide. During the meeting, he hinted that he had gone back to his old ways of scheming in the shadows, announcing that his plans made theirs look like "a Rahi's fantasy".

Apparently, Teridax had discovered beforehand that Sanox was destined to don the Kraahkan and turn into a Toa of Shadows. He told the remaining Makuta that his plan was in effect; Sanox's power would be so great that Mata Nui himself would be affected, causing a cataclysm to occur that would allow them to seize control of the universe.

It is unknown what has happened to Teridax in the years since, but his plan apparently did not succeed.
