The '''Tahnok''' are the [[Bohrok]] swarm of [[Fire]].

== History ==
Tahnok are created when [[Av-Matoran]] accomplish their destiny and transform into mechanical insectoids. They are then sent to [[Bohrok Nests]] to await the signal to cleanse the island camouflage of the Great Spirit [[Mata Nui (Being)|Mata Nui]]. They are aided by the [[Bohrok Va]] [[Tahnok Va]].

The Tahnok swarms beneath the island of {{p|Mata Nui|Location}} were [[Bohrok Invasion|awakened]] by [[Makuta]] [[Teridax]], upon his [[Battle of Mangaia|defeat]] by the [[Toa Mata]]. A swarm headed for [[Po-Koro]] to lay waste to it. While [[Toa]] [[Gali]] was able to thin the numbers of one section of the swarm in [[Le-Wahi]], others reached the village and forced the [[Po-Matoran]] to evacuate. During the [[Attack on Po-Koro|fray]], the [[Matoran]] [[Hafu]] knocked over his own statues on the [[Path of Prophecies]] in order to prevent the Tahnok from entering the village. However, this left no room for him to retreat back into the Koro. A Tahnok launched its [[Krana]] Xa at him, but he was suddenly rescued by [[Pohatu]], who used his [[Golden Kanohi]] to catapult them back into Po-Koro. Afterwards, the Matoran were evacuated and Pohatu, Gali, and [[Onua]] drove the menacing Bohrok away.

At a different point, Gali and Pohatu worked together with Onua and [[Kopaka]] in a attempt to trap some of the Tahnok in [[Tiro Canyon]]. Onua [[Earth|dug]] a hole from the canyon wall to the sea and Kopaka sealed it with [[ice]]. As the Tahnok arrived, Pohatu kicked a [[Stone|boulder]], shattering the ice and flooding the canyon with water. While the Tahnok were trapped, Gali swam down into the canyon, collecting the Bohrok's Krana, and barely dodging a boulder the Tahnok melted off the canyon wall. The Tahnok, however, boiled the water and melted handholds in the canyon walls for the swarm to escape. Kopaka also encountered a swarm of Tahnok in [[Ko-Wahi]], which, along with a squad of [[Lehvak]], led him to the entrance of the Bohrok Nest. Several Tahnok were also frozen in [[the Drifts]] of [[Ko-Wahi]], and therefore were unable to return to their nests. These Tahnok were later discovered by [[Takanuva|Takua]] and [[Jaller]].

After the [[Bahrag]] were [[Battle in the Bohrok Nest|defeated]] and [[Toa Seal|imprisoned]] by the [[Toa Mata]], a Tahnok swarm in the Bohrok Nests went out of control with the guidance of the Bahrag. Onua shared his [[Pakari Nuva]] with [[Tahu]], Lewa, and the other [[Toa Nuva]] to create a ditch to hold the Tahnok. Kopaka froze the top of the ditch to contain the Tahnok. Matoran used the Tahnok to help with the re-building of Po-Koro. Later, after the [[Bohrok-Kal]] were awakened to release the Bahrag, Tahu Nuva attempted to use a swarm of Tahnok to attack [[Nuhvok-Kal]], but failed. Nuhvok-Kal used its power over [[Gravity]] to make the Bohrok fly into deep space and fall into orbit. The blasts of gravity power from Mata Nui and Makuta in the Battle of Bara Magna, as well as the movement of Aqua Magna accelerated the process of orbital decay and they were eventually destroyed.<ref name="ttv-07-29-2019">[http://board.ttvchannel.com/t/lehvak-kal-by-the-battle-of-bara-magna/49920/2 TTV Message Boards: Ask Greg - Lehvak-Kal by the Battle of Bara Magna?], 29 July 2019</ref>

When the Bahrag were later released by the Toa Nuva as part of the their [[Scroll of Preparations|mission]] to awaken Mata Nui, the Tahnok swarms awoke and contributed to the cleansing of the island of Mata Nui. They have since returned to their nest.

== Abilities and Traits ==
Tahnok are the fastest Bohrok, but despite their quickness, they are still very methodical and understand the value of teamwork. While Bohrok are not naturally aggressive, the Tahnok are the least passive of the swarms. They are provoked easily and if threatened, they will strike first and study the area later. When they strike, they do it as a team, making them all the more dangerous. If one of the members of the team is hurt or in trouble, they will make sure it is safe before they continue their mission. However, they tend to act impulsively and are not as calculating as some of the other breeds.

Along with the other Bohrok types, the Tahnok can roll into a ball for quick transport and can snap their heads forward to deal a blow to their enemies. They can also use this move to launch its Krana onto the face of another being, thereby bringing that being into the swarm's control.

=== Tools ===
Tahnok use [[Fire Shield]]s to burn their targets.
