The Mata Nui Cow, Dikapi, Kirikori Nui, and Ranama are Rahi that were posted on an old Fan website from 2001 called The Sands of Mata Nui by Daniel Lipkowitz a LEGO employee Before they were made canon by the lego club magazine.
Does anyone have any memories of this website?

Nice find! Cool Rahi builds and the site that certified early 2000s aesthetic.

Oh boy there’s custom lore:

And the man cast his eyes down
and beseeched the Toa:
“How shall I harvest the ember-fruit?”

Quoth the Great Tahu:
“Look behind ye, for of thy steps
a new man shall be born…”

This is brilliant

Edit: Yo I love these rahi, Pakipaki has a neat design

Yeah the Pakipaki feels like it is in the family of the Kahu (nui-jaga combiner)
and it has a cool beak using that pakari.

Never heard of it. But the Rahi MOCs look superb for their time and piecepool.

The Mokonui and the Wehirua are fantastic, definitely my favorites. I’ll have to try building these sometime.
