'''Bohrok''' are insectoid machines whose main purpose was to clean all matter from the island of {{p|Mata Nui|Location}} ({{p|Mata Nui|Being}}'s face) in preparation for him returning to an upright position.

Initially awakened early by [[Makuta]] [[Teridax]], the Bohrok swarms were defeated by the [[Toa Mata]] when the [[Toa]] trapped the Bohrok's twin [[Bahrag]] queens in a cage of solid [[Protodermis]]. The swarms were reawakened by the [[Toa Nuva]] to resume their quest of destruction, and have since gone back to sleep after their mission was completed.

== History ==
The [[Great Beings]] designed the Bohrok to clear away Mata Nui's camouflage once he was ready to depart a world. They based the Bohrok's design on their previous creations, the [[Baterra]].{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=177|post=7066|lines=2,10}} The Great Beings destined a percentage of [[Av-Matoran]] to transform into Bohrok at a certain point in their lives. Once the transformation was completed, they were then teleported to the [[Bohrok Nests]] to be fitted with [[Krana]].{{BookCitation|BL10}}

The [[Brotherhood of Makuta]] knew about Bohrok very well, and placed six sets of [[Exo-Toa]] armor as a failsafe against a possible Bohrok rampage.{{BookCitation|BEU|31}} They also ordered a group of [[Nynrah Ghosts]]{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=55|post=2187|lines=8,16}}{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=57|post=2274|lines=3,14}} to construct [[Fohrok|replicas]] of Bohrok to aid them in their conquest of the universe.<ref name="bzp-2005-08-05">[http://www.bzpower.com/story.php?ID=2429 BZPower: Bionicle Myths and Misconceptions II], 5 August 2005</ref>

The first recorded encounter between Bohrok and [[Matoran]] occurred in [[Metru Nui]], when a group of [[Lightstone]] [[Miner]]s broke into a Bohrok Nest in [[Onu-Metru]] by accident. Inside they discovered the word "Bohrok" carved into the wall. Several were immediately shipped to the [[Archives]], where [[Archivist]]s quickly discovered that the Bohrok were inorganic and that the dormant [[Krana]] inside each Bohrok were organic and alive. The Bohrok showed no evidence of having ever been built. An Archivist named [[Mavrah]] hypothesized that the Bohrok were once biomechanical beings that had somehow evolved to become unthinking machines driven by organic brains.{{BookCitation|BA5}} However, this theory was lost over time.{{BookCitation|BE}}

During the return trip from Mata Nui to Metru Nui, the [[Toa Metru]] encountered some Bohrok.{{MediaCitation|MoS}} These Bohrok were controlled not by Krana, but by worms that had been captured by Teridax, and subsequently escaped their confinement.{{OnlineCitation|P}} Shortly after this discovery, Vakama had a vision foreseeing the Bohrok destroying the newly found island of Mata Nui.{{BookCitation|BA6}}

1,000 years later, after his [[Battle of Mangaia|initial defeat]] by the Toa Mata, Teridax sent a beacon to wake the primary Bohrok swarms. As planned, the Bohrok immediately made for the surface of the island of Mata Nui, and began the [[Bohrok Invasion]]. The Toa Mata battled the swarms, collecting each breed of Krana and tracking their menace to the underground lair of the Bahrag, twin queens of the Bohrok.{{BookCitation|BC2}}

After the [[Battle in the Bohrok Nest|defeat]] and [[Toa Seal|imprisonment]] of the Bahrag, the Matoran reprogrammed the Krana-less Bohrok to aid in rebuilding the villages they had destroyed. However, all the Bohrok and their smaller helpers, the [[Bohrok Va]], returned to the nests when the Bahrag were on the verge of being freed by the [[Bohrok-Kal]].{{BookCitation|BC3}}

About a month or two later, following directives listed on a [[Scroll of Preparations|scroll]] in the [[Great Temple]], the Toa Nuva returned to the Bahrag's lair and freed the queens, who proceeded to re-awaken the swarms to resume their mission of devastation.{{BookCitation|BL7}}

This time, the Bohrok proceeded without interference, except for a new arrival, the [[Kardas Dragon]], which destroyed several Bohrok before being badly injured by the swarms.{{OnlineCitation|TNB|8}} With no further hindrance, the Bohrok quickly finished their task and promptly returned to their nests to go back to sleep.

During the [[Siege of Metru Nui]] led by the [[Brotherhood of Makuta]], the small group of Bohrok in the Archives were awakened by Toa [[Krakua]], using his [[Sonics]] powers. The group then emerged onto the surface of [[Ta-Metru]], where they began fighting the [[Rahkshi]], who were unwittingly blocking the way to Mata Nui. The Bohrok eventually won the battle and promptly left in order to fulfill their programming.{{OnlineCitation|DW|9}}

Though the [[Great Spirit Robot]] was critically damaged in the [[Battle of Bara Magna]], the Bohrok remain dormant, able to be reprogrammed to serve the new society of Matoran and [[Agori]].{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=299|post=11928|lines=16,33}}{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=427|post=10880329|lines=7,13}}

=== Alternate Universes ===
==== [[The Kingdom Alternate Universe]] ====
In an alternate universe, the Bohrok were re-awoken on the island of Mata Nui after the Great Spirit died. As they no longer had a reason to perform their island-cleaning task, they instead worked side by side with Matoran.{{OnlineCitation|TK}}

== Abilities and Traits ==
Bohrok are insectoid, non-living, robotic entities which normally function under the control of a Krana, which follow telepathic commands by the Bahrag queens. Krana are regarded as the Bohrok's greatest strength, as it allows them to assimilate others into the swarm, but also their greatest weakness, since removing the Krana renders the Bohrok dysfunctional and thus helpless. The Matoran of Mata Nui were able to modify the Bohrok when their Krana were removed to obey simple commands.

Bohrok possess extendable necks that allow them to thrust their heads forward over a great range in a short time. They use this ability to chip away at obstacles in a jackhammer-like fashion, or as a last resort, to fling their Krana onto the faces of attackers.

For travel, the Bohrok can compress their bodies into a spherical form, a form they also take while lying dormant inside the Bohrok nest. In this form they can roll across the ground at high velocity and, when fitted with Krana [[Krana#Types|Vu]], fly short distances.

If faced with an obstacle too great for individual members to overcome, Bohrok have the ability to form [[Bohrok Kaita]], which pools the attributes of the three individual Bohrok into one more powerful being.

=== Breeds ===
There are six types of Bohrok:
* [[Tahnok]], Bohrok of [[Fire]]
* [[Gahlok]], Bohrok of [[Water]]
* [[Lehvak]], Bohrok of [[Acid]]
* [[Pahrak]], Bohrok of [[Stone]]
* [[Kohrak]], Bohrok of [[Ice]]
* [[Nuhvok]], Bohrok of [[Earth]]
Each breed can channel their specific [[Elemental Powers|element]] or [[Powers|power]] through a pair of shields which every Bohrok carries. The six breeds approach their mission in different ways and are aided by corresponding [[Bohrok Va]].

==Trivia==
* Makuta [[Mutran]] learned how to awake the Bohrok from [[Tren Krom]] and later relayed this information to Teridax.{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=157|post=6264|lines=2,15}}
