Name: Makuta Piraunga
Assigned Region: Nomadic ( Formerly an unnamed southern island)
Kanohi: Pakari, Mask of Strength
Weapons: Energized Antidermis Blades
Status: Dead
Bio: After the revelation that they had become gaseous beings, Piraunga was sent to the Nyranah ghosts to test the armor made for the newly evolved species. Finding it satisfactory, Piraunga stayed with the ghosts in order to work on a new type of weapon to harness the new forms that the makuta had obtained. The resulting collaboration produced a deadly new weapon: energized antidemis blades. Wanting to test the new weapons and armor, Teridax had Piraunga attack an island which was protected by a toa team of plasma, air, magnetism, iron, water, and gravity. Being unaccustomed to his new armor, Piraunga was severely damaged in the beginning of the battle, but found that using the energized antidermis blades kept his essence contained. After striking the last toa down, he sailed back to Destral to report back to Teridax. Only an empty shell of armor made it back to the island: the energized antidermis blades had consumed the Makuta’s essence in order to power themselves. Teridax scrapped the technology and had several makuta sent on missions to keep watch over populations of matoran of iron and magnetism, as the toa of said populations had caused the severe damage to Piraunga’s armor that indirectly caused his death.
Piraunga was an arrogant Makuta, and sought any edge to be the strongest there ever was. Like Miserix, Piraunga modeled his body after dragons, but not to the same extreme as his leader. Piraunga might have been one of the strongest of his species had he developed his energized blade technology further. The blade’s one weakness ended up costing Piraunga his life.

Name: Makuta Tethis
Assigned Region: Central Sea
Kanohi: Huri, Mask of Adaptation
Weapons: Hydro-Lance
Status: Dead
Bio: While most makuta were assigned an island to watch over that had matoran, Makuta Tethis was assigned the sea as a precautionary measure. She patrolled the sea for countless centuries with hardly a peep. After the great cataclysm, Tethis was sent to check the damage and was subsequently mutated by the infected waters. Still intent on following orders, she investigated Voya Nui, and tried to prevent the sinking of Mahri Nui, but was instead crushed under the island for her efforts.
Makuta Tethis modeled her body to be more aqua dynamic to move through her domain all the faster. She added fins to her shoulders and turned her claws poisonous to better defend against creatures of the deep.
Tethis’ heels actually had a purpose: when swimming, her feet turned into flippers to swim even better than normal.
Tethis’ kanohi Huri, paired with her own natural adaptation abilities allowed her to only be slightly affected by the pit mutagen during the brief moment of time she was exposed to it, causing her to lose her transformation abilities.

Apologies if the pictures turned out too blurry or dark, i am already working on a fix to my photo setup to fix any problems and hope to have better pictures up sooner rather than later. Comments and criticism alike are welcome. Have a good day!
