The '''Ussal''' are herbivorous crab-like [[Rahi]] domesticated by the [[Matoran]].

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

On [[Metru Nui]], Ussal Crabs were found in the wild near the shores of [[Ga-Metru]]. They were used by the [[Le-Matoran]] [[Matoran Occupations#Multi-Region Occupations|Ussal riders]] in [[Le-Metru]], where they hauled transport carts around the city and competed in racing tournaments.{{BookCitation|RB|89}} Tame Ussal were kept in pens scattered across Le-Metru and were put to work chiefly when a bulky or delicate item deemed unfit for [[Chutes|Chute]] travel needed to be transported.{{BookCitation|BA1|93}} Ussal carts were also used on occasion to carry passengers, although the transportation of bulky cargo was their main application and Ussal drivers were often too busy to pick up other Matoran who flagged them down.{{BookCitation|MN-CoL|63}} Ussal were well-liked by the [[Onu-Matoran]] of Metru Nui, who employed the crabs to move heavy objects, including [[Stasis Tube]]s.{{BookCitation|RB|89}}

After the [[Great Cataclysm]], many Ussal migrated through the [[Great Barrier]] to the island of {{p|Mata Nui|Location}}, where they and the Matoran lived for 1,000 years. Ussal were found all over the island, but were primarily used by the Onu-Matoran. Some worked in mining tunnels like the [[Le-Koro Highway]]; others worked in the great [[Ussalry]], led by [[Onepu]], or worked in the [[Great Mine]].{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|5}} In addition, some were still used in sports, such as the [[Great Ussal Race]]{{MediaCitation|QftT}} and [[Kolhii]].{{BookCitation|BEU|61}} There were some wild Ussal, but not many of them were infected by Makuta [[Teridax]] during his [[Great War|invasion]].{{MediaCitation|QftT}}

Shortly after the coming of the [[Toa Mata]], [[Takanuva]] defeated Teridax and rediscovered Metru Nui. The Matoran constructed many [[boat]]s for their return, and the Ussal migrated with them.{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=34|post=1357|lines=5,20}}

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

=== Mutated Ussal ===
A rare mutated Ussal, many times the size of a normal one, resided in Metru Nui. It is thought to be a hybrid with another larger species. It possessed inferior sight, and developed greater hearing to hunt.{{BookCitation|BA2|23}} It was kept in a sub-level of the [[Onu-Metru]] [[Archives]], as it was resistant to the effects of stasis.{{BookCitation|MN-CoL|73}}

1,001 years ago, while searching for the Onu-Metru [[Great Disks|Great Disk]], [[Toa Metru]] [[Nuju]] and [[Whenua]] looked within the beast's cell, provoking it. The Ussal attacked the two [[Toa]] viciously. Whenua generated a deafening hum from his [[Earthshock Drills]], using the creature's sensitive hearing against it. The mutant Ussal hurled the two Toa out of its cell, and they locked the door upon it.{{BookCitation|BA2|21-23}} After the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged, it is unlikely that the Mutated Ussal survived as it was trapped in its cell.{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=411|post=10805479|lines=5,8}}

=== Rock Ussal ===
'''Rock Ussal''' are specialized Ussal crabs, considerably more aggressive than the average Ussal.{{OnlineCitation|VNOG}}

Rock Ussal are native to the [[Southern Continent]]. When the Great Cataclysm tore [[Voya Nui]] out of the continent and up to the surface of to [[Aqua Magna]], many Rock Ussal survived the journey and adapted to life on the barren island. They could be found scattered all across Voya Nui, but especially in the [[Desert of Sorrows]].{{OnlineCitation|VNOG}}

When the [[Toa Mahri]] destroyed [[the Cord]] and returned Voya Nui to its former position on the Southern Continent, the Rock Ussal may not have survived the descent.{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=411|post=10805479}}

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

== Abilities and Traits ==
Ussal are very common and come in a wide variety of colors, including tan,{{ComicCitation|C1}} black, purple and black, blue and yellow,{{OnlineCitation|MNOG}} red and orange,{{OnlineCitation|VNOG}} orange and blue, red-yellow and green,{{MediaCitation|QftT}} or orange and dark gray.<ref name="onu-koro creatures">[https://web.archive.org/web/20030406051342/http://www.lego.com:80/eng/bionicle/characters.asp?charid=onukoro BIONICLE: Onu-Koro Creatures]</ref> Ussals are known to make a chirping sound,{{OnlineCitation|MNOG}}{{MediaCitation|B:MoL}} though they may whine or shriek when upset.{{BookCitation|MoL|49-50}} They have an unpleasant odor that makes their dwellings easy to identify from a distance.{{BookCitation|BA1|93}} While they are easily tamed, some wild Ussal will attack Matoran if provoked. Ussal are also amphibious - while they are usually found on land, they can live underwater as well.{{MediaCitation|QftT}}

Ussal are prized by Matoran for their friendliness, strength, and swiftness.{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|5}} They are known for their ability to tunnel, making them useful for Onu-Matoran miners.<ref name="onu-koro creatures"/>

Ussal are some of few Rahi that grow as they age. Ussal generally start out very small (several inches long){{MediaCitation|B3:WoS}} and then grow to a rideable size.{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|5}} They age for a while after this and then develop rapidly into a larger stage;{{MediaCitation|B:MoL}}{{GregCitation|OGD|page=4|post=150}} they may sometimes change color during development as well, as observed with [[Pewku]] changing from blue and yellow{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|5}} to brown and gray.{{MediaCitation|B:MoL}}

== Known Ussal ==
* [[Pewku]]

== Trivia ==
* Ussal were the first species of Rahi to be seen in the [[Comics]].{{ComicCitation|C1}}
* Whenua believed that the Ussal and the [[Manas]] were somehow related, but [[Matau]] strongly disagreed with that theory.{{BookCitation|RB|58}}
