4 down, 2 to go. Here’s Myrmiga, an insectoid Dark Hunter and the fourth in my series.
Now to address the Tahtorak in the room, the boxart. Recently 2 new things were released to make Studio renders look even better, namely SwampKryakwa’s colour pack and over 100 backgrounds compiled by Vahkiti. If you use Studio, I’d strongly suggest getting both of those things. As for why I decided to go all the way and decided to make boxart, I don’t even know to be honest.
Bio
Myrmiga was a member of a sapient Rahi species created by the Brotherhood of Makuta to serve as hive queens ruling over other insectoid Rahi. As such, she and the rest of her species were given the Makuta’s power of insect control. Having formed a hive on Odina, she quickly caught the attention of the Shadowed One, who recruited her and her hive into the Dark Hunters.
Some time before the Toa/Dark Hunter War, Myrmiga came into contact with Roodaka, who based her transformation of Toa Nidhiki partly on her appearance. Around 3000 years later, after the death of Makuta Teridax, Myrmiga was hired by Velika alongside 5 other hunters to help further his goals by assassinating anyone who could pose a threat to his rule.
Myrmiga has such control over her hive that she can telepathically communicate her will to them, effectively allowing her to be in multiple places at once with minimal risk to herself. She rarely ever leaves her hive, preferring to have her underlings bring her targets to her or take hostages to lure said targets out. She is also utterly sadistic, even by Dark Hunter standards, and takes great pleasure in torturing her victims whether they’re her target or not.
Function
Myrmiga has a gear function at her back allowing her to move her arms and wings to fly, or perform a digging motion if her wings are folded.
