'''Mahi''' are small goat-like [[Rahi]].

== History ==
The Mahi species was created by the [[Makuta]] using [[Virus]]es and [[Protodermis|Liquid Protodermis]] to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the [[Matoran Universe]].{{BookCitation|MGttU|page=63|entryname=The Makuta}}

After the [[Great Cataclysm]], the population of Mahi in [[Metru Nui]] migrated with the [[Matoran]] to the island of [[Mata Nui (Location)|Mata Nui]]. On Mata Nui, flocks of Mahi were mostly found in [[Po-Wahi]],{{MediaCitation|BKOA|episodenumber=2|episodename=Out of Their Elements}} though a breed of purple Mahi made their homes in [[Le-Wahi]] and [[Ta-Wahi]], while red Mahi roamed the snowy fields of [[Ko-Wahi]].{{MediaCitation|QftT}} The [[Po-Matoran]] of [[Po-Koro]] recognized the Mahi as useful livestock and domesticated them to pull carts. Because of their high value, they were often traded at the Po-Koro Market.{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|chapternumber=4}} [[Hapaka]] were also trained to guard Mahi herds and [[Husi]] flocks.<ref name="hapaka">[https://web.archive.org/web/20061017014052/http://club.lego.com/eng/buildits/showbuildinginstruction.asp?id=hapaka&m=red Inspired by BIONICLE: Hapaka] LEGO Club.com</ref> Herding them was challenging, but it was a way of learning the [[Kolhii Skills|skill]] of [[Strategy]]. [[Golyo]] herded Mahi in a small pen on the outskirts of Po-Koro.{{OnlineCitation|MNOG2|chapternumber=6}}

When the [[Bohrok-Kal]] attacked Mata Nui, [[Gahlok-Kal]] [[Magnetism|magnetized]] several Mahi to [[Toa Nuva]] [[Pohatu]], successfully incapacitating him. They were removed by [[Takua]] and [[Jaller]] during the Toa Nuva's mission to track down and confront the Bohrok-Kal.{{MediaCitation|BKOA|episodenumber=2|episodename=Out of Their Elements}} During the [[Kolhii Tournament]], the [[Ga-Matoran]] [[Hahli]] visited Golyo and trained in Strategy by catching escaping Mahi.{{OnlineCitation|MNOG2|chapternumber=6}}

The Mahi returned to Metru Nui with the Matoran following [[Toa]] [[Takanuva]]'s defeat of Makuta [[Teridax]].{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=34|post=1357|lines=5,20}}

After the [[Great Spirit Robot]] was critically damaged in the [[Battle of Bara Magna]], all surviving Mahi left the Matoran Universe and immigrated to [[Spherus Magna]].{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=300|post=11964|lines=5,12}}

=== Fire Mahi ===
'''Fire Mahi''' are a subspecies of the Mahi which lived in Ta-Wahi. 1,000 years into the [[Great War]], a group of Fire Mahi, under the influence of Teridax, abducted [[Turaga]] [[Vakama]]. Takua defeated these Rahi and obtained the key to Vakama's prison.{{MediaCitation|QftT}}

== Abilities and Traits ==
Wild Mahi live alone or in herds. Variants are especially equipped for tropical, cold, and volcanic environments. They tend to be territorial, quickly charging down anything that approaches and then ramming them with their dangerous horns.{{MediaCitation|QftT}} Despite this, Mahi can be domesticated by Matoran, making them useful livestock.{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|chapternumber=4}}

== Trivia ==
* Mahi were originally called "Maha" in early media.{{MediaCitation|QftT}}{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|chapternumber=4}}<ref name="hapaka"/> They were later renamed "Mahi."{{OnlineCitation|MNOG2|chapternumber=6}}
* In [[Languages#Nouns|Matoran]], the word "mahi" means "goat."{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=295|post=11780}}
