Name: Shornos
Assigned Region: None
Kanohi: Mask of mutation
Status: Dead
I remember a city. The only city on an island. Thick stone walls, a trench beyond that, and all the while, rahkshi patrolling the top.
Poor Shornos. He never truly wanted to be ruler of an island. It just kind of happened.
When the brotherhood of Makuta first formed, Shornos rather liked the job. He quickly went out, and claimed an island for his rahi making and experiments. However, he wasn’t very good at making small, tame-ish rahi. He made large, ferocious rahi.
This did not appeal to the matoran of the island. In fact, they rather disliked the whole “Ten seconds and the villiage is gone.” Thing.
A few years later, there was only one city left, the city he ruled. The matoran fled to him for safety. He set his rahkshi of rahi control to guard, and they prevented anything from getting in.
Later, during the league of six kingdoms, Miserix assigned him to supply rahi to Carapar. Like the majority of the Makuta, he resented being forced to do this, so he sent only small, weak rahi. He. The matoran would have liked it if he did that from the start.
Not that it stopped him from experimenting. He loved to make new rahi. Bigger rahi. Rahi with more spikes. He loved to use his mask to make them more powerful.
Before Tyrant came and conquored the island, Shornos made a big mistake. He mutated a muaka in such a way that it could not be controlled by him or his rahkshi.
And it went on a rampage.
The more damage was done to it, the angrier it got. It tore through buildings, and even Shornos himself. Poor guy. Done in by his own handiwork.
The muaka found it’s way into the forest, and tore things apart.
Of course, Shornos had a plan in plase in case this happened. He had many Guurahk hidden in caves outside the city, and they went wild. Shornos had it planned perfectly so that when the large rahi were all gone, the Guurahk were almost all dead as well.
A few weeks later, Tyrant came to the island.

I want to mention something about the mask power before going to the MOC. The mask of mutation is not considered by toa to be an immoral mask, so I wanted this guy to die before Teridax’s coup.
On to the MOC.
Here is the back:
I feel I should mention the burnt orange on his arms. I wanted those pieces to be black, but I had run out of those pieces, and had just torn apart Pohatu and Ketar. When I get some more, I will replace those.
And a side/weapon view.
His weapon of choice is his scepter. Not that it makes much of a weapon. Shornos was not a very war-like makuta, and relied more on his kraataa powers to defend himself.
Lastly, here’s a size comparison with Ekimu.
What are your thoughts on him? Comments and criticism are always welcome.
