It took a while to make this entry, but now it is finally ready.
Due to being chosen from different previous teams and locations, the Hagah are supposed to have different appearances. However, this doesn’t mean they have to be excessively distinct from one another or clones because of being from the same team. That’s why I tried to balance those differences while still keeping the basic structures already shown by Norik and Iruini to make the remaining Hagah look like actual sets.
Regarding the distributions:
I made my best to keep as much consistency in them as much as I could trying to achieve a general 2/2/2 in most aspects making just few exceptions to make them unique in their own way.
- Pearl dark gray was chosen as the third metallic color due to the considerable big number of silver colored precious metals.
- The reason behind the different shoulders is a desire to prevent the other Hagah from having the same incomplete look as Norik’s which unfortunately doesn’t cover the shoulder properly and avoid to much repetition with the metru shoulders.
- The bohrok shields are intended to work as part of the 2/2/2 pattern (Gaaki and Iruini use Gahlok and Gahlok kal shields respectively). However, Gaaki’s is different in order to make her slightly more custom while still using a bohrok shield.
- Some of the unique things about them are to make a reference to other toa designs such as Whenua metru (stature) Hewkii mahri (chains).
- Regarding Kualus and Bomonga, an extra technic 1/2 bush was added at the start of each arm’s axle to prevent any possible collisions with the hordika armor and was chosen in black to be less perceptible.
- Although Iruini has a green metru torso, all my designs have a black one to match Norik’s (Iruini is the only exception, similar to his mask having its real shape).
Distribution aspects as a team:
- Metallic color= 2 flat silver, 2 flat dark gold, 2 pearl dark gray (gunmetal)
- Eye color= 2 trans-neon green, 2 trans-neon orange, 2 trans-light blue
- Feet= All of them have metru feet
- Lower legs= 2 vahki legs, 2 rahkshi legs, 2 piraka legs
- Knee armor= 2 metru knees, 2 inika knees, 2 spiked ball halves
- Shoulder armor= Different for each one
- Chest armor= 2 metru matoran chests, 2 bohrok shields, 2 hordika armors
- Forearms= 2 metru legs, 2 vahki legs, 2 rahkshi legs
- Spears= Different for each one
- Unique traits for certain toa= 1 stud smaller than the rest (Bomonga), chains in the upper arms (Pouks)
Gaaki:
The purpose of her smaller shoulder armor is to give her a more feminine look while still covering most of the shoulder.
Choices such as the gahlok shield, the spear and Helryx’s mask (due to the tubes) are meant to keep an appropriate look for a toa of water.

Bomonga:
Because of being part of Teridax’s personal guards, I decided to include Kraahkans as shoulder armor to make a reference to it. His stature is supposed to keep the trend of shorter earth toa but that doesn’t mean he has to be as small as Whenua. In order to achieve this, I used vahki legs and placed the metru torso one stud below.
The bulkiness has the purpose of representing his patience and how steady he can be while waiting for something to happen during hours as it written in his Biosector corresponding page.
The kanohi Rode opens the possibility of making Axonn the honored hero.

Pouks:
Since Pouks is known to take direct actions rather than sneaking around, I gave him as bulkier armor than Iruini to be the first one to step into a battle.
The custom kanohi Kakama was chosen due to the similarities with the mask of emulation from the comics. This kanohi is meant to be a variant of the regular one like Lhikan’s.
The spiky appearance in some parts was inspired by Hewkii mahri’s design, particularly the chains are a reference to him and Onewa’s weapons.
Color: Pearl dark gray (gunmetal)

- Galva= Kanohi Kakama (Champion)
Kualus:
Most of his design of composed of a mix between round and spiky parts to give the impression of being made of smooth ice and at the same time icicle surfaces.
The kanohi Miru is meant to be a variant of the regular one like Lhikan’s.
Flat silver was switched for gunmetal to get a better contrast with the white pieces.
The spear tip was provided by Vahki6 and was inspired by BNG’s custom spear for Bomonga. The Knights Kingdom armor was recreated by Zhokker and in order to get it, you must contact him first.
