Vultraz

Vultraz was a Matoran who was given the power to create new Makuta by Ordak. After he used his power to bring Kivalon and Xikella into the universe, Kivalon killed him by absorbing him with a Shadow Hand.

Early Life
Some time before the destruction of the Matoran Universe, a number of Shadow Matoran were taken from Karda Nui for use in The Reformed Second Brotherhood of Makuta's experiments. Vultraz was one of them. He was experimented on by Ordak and eventually gained the power to create living antidermis as a result. Vultraz later had a Klakk purge the shadow from his body so that he would be allowed into the Mata Nui II. This process turned him back into a Ta-Matoran and he lost the ability to fire shadow blasts, but retained the ability to create antidermis. He moved into Liquid Ocelot's old cell on Level 4 and became somewhat of a recluse, in part due to his horrible personality resulting from a traumatic life.

At some point, Vultraz was tracked down by the version of Quolas from the Dark Universe, who wished to make use of Vultraz's ability to create antidermis. DUQ implanted Vultraz with a soul magnet connected to Kivalon, so if or when Vultraz decided to use his power, Kivalon's soul would be torn from the Dark Universe and tied to the antidermis Vultraz would create.

Recruitment by the TrSBoM
In 150,084 CMT, Vultraz began experimenting with his power. However, when Kivalon activated his own soul magnet in the Dark Universe, Vultraz decided to create two clouds of antidermis at once; something that nobody had predicted. As a result, Kivalon was dragged into the Original Universe but his soul was torn in two. His other half inhabited the second cloud, which became Xikella.

Elsewhere in the galaxy, Starok detected the arrival of new Makuta in the universe, and took several other members of the TrSBoM to meet them. There they found Vultraz, and, after realizing what his power was, Starok instantly recruited him back into the TrSBoM. Vultraz was also reunited with his old master, Ordak. He accompanied the Makuta to the disused TrSBoM base on Fareste and used an Armour Fabrication Unit to make Kivalon and Xikella sets of Makuta armour to inhabit. After this was finished, Kivalon absorbed Vultraz with a Shadow Hand, killing him instantly.

Abilities & Powers

 * Shadow Blasts - Like other Shadow Matoran, Vultraz could fire blasts of shadow energy from his hands. However, he lost this power after being reverted to a Ta-Matoran by a Klakk.
 * Makuta Creation - As a result of Ordak's experiments, Vultraz had the power to create living antidermis with his own body, essentially birthing new Makuta.

Trivia

 * Vultraz having the ability to create new Makuta was not actually Kon's idea. This idea came from a rare BIONICLE guide book that Kon came into ownership of. A passage in the book mentions that as a result of Icarax's experiments on Vultraz, he was left with the ability to create new Makuta. This was later confirmed as non-canon by GregF.
