The Nuhvok Va are the Bohrok Va assigned to help the Bohrok Nuhvok.

History

The Nuhvok Va were created by the Great Beings to assist the Nuhvok in clearing the surface of Mata Nui, reverting it to its' original status as a barren wasteland. Upon creation, the Va were placed in hibernation along with the other Bohrok, waiting for the time to be awakened to perform their duty.

After Makuta Teridax was defeated by the Toa Mata, he unleashed the swarms to hinder their progress. The Nuhvok Va awoke, and began aiding the Nuhvok in their attempts of leveling the Isle of Mata Nui, providing Krana to Nuhvok that had lost them to the Toa.

During the Toa Mata's battles against the Bohrok, Onua took it upon himself to protect his village, Onu-Koro, against the Bohrok. When he entered a cavern leading to the village, he found several Nuhvok attempting to collapse the cavern. Using a system of strategy, he disabled many of the Bohrok, and obtained their Krana. However, before he could finish, several Nuhvok Va entered the cavern and began screeching. Within seconds, the Bohrok responded to the retreat call, and left the cavern.

After many of these battles, the Toa succeeded in beating back the swarm by defeating and capturing the Bohrok Queens who controlled them. The Bohrok and Bohrok Va began helping repair the damage they caused to the villages. While Matoran and Bohrok alike worked, the new Toa Nuva faced a greater threat, the Bohrok-Kal. With the choice of allying with them, the Bohrok Va turned against the Matoran, yet the Toa again won, and the Bohrok returned to hibernation, awaiting when they would be truly needed.

Soon after the Matoran evacuation of Mata Nui to the Island City of Metru Nui, the Toa Nuva returned to the Isle of Mata Nui and reawakened the Bohrok Swarms. United by duty, the Bohrok cleansed the island, their only obstacle being the Kardas Dragon. After subduing the Rahi, the Bohrok finished their task, and returned to their nests.

Abilities & Traits

Nuhvok-Va are not well-equipped for heavy digging, preferring to burrow shallow tunnels and scamper between shadows a good distance from onlookers. After moving from one shadow to another they stop to listen for threats. Nuhvok Va are able to squeeze into narrow gaps, and they have excellent night-vision.

Tools

Nuhvok Va use claws, which serve as their hands and allow them to burrow to escape danger. They are also used defensively.

Trivia

The Matoran of Mata Nui sometimes called the Nuhvok Va "tunnel foxes".
