The Nui-Jaga resemble giant scorpions, and have fierce claws and stingers.
When wearing infected masks, they are fierce foes of the Toa - but if the Toa are victorious, these beasts can be tamed.
Just a fun and simple G2 version of the classic scorpion Rahi from 2001.

This looks pretty cool, I like the amount of trans-neon green and the black parts. The tail and claws are good too.
Nice use of the neon green skull masks on the claws.
You have 2 of those masks?!
really cool build, great remake of the Nui-Jaga, love the colours
I wanted to do this too. It’s so cool to reinterpret g1 Rahi as g2.
This is beautiful!
very cool, even kinda derpy lookin
I think he’s kinda cute, actually
Inspiration from scorpions that glow under UV light?
The Bohrok eyes on the back blend perfectly with the G2 rib cage piece while also appearing distinctly scorpion-esque.
Thank you, glad it looks cool!
Thanks! I was trying to pay homage to the original set with that, happy you like it.
So there was a time a few years ago when someone was selling them in bulk without the packaging on Bricklink, they were like 25-30 USD a mask back then but still way cheaper than what they are now.
Thanks! It kinda was a bit of a rushed build since I had a bit of a self imposed time crunch while working on it, but I’m really happy with how it came out, especially the colors.
You totally should, it was a really fun time. Can’t wait to see your interpretations!
Appreciate it!
It’s the original Nui-Jaga face haha, it always looked derpy to me too, and my version kept that silly charm.
I agree. And yes! Really glad you caught that design element, that was my reasoning for picking translucent neon green, wish I could of done it with actual glow in the dark parts but this was close enough.
Thank you, I was trying to capture the segmentation of the real critters with the use of those two parts.
