History
The Brotherhood of Makuta used liquid Protodermis and Viruses to create the Manutri species as part of their mission to create Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe. (BIONICLE: Makuta's Guide to the Universe, p.63)
A population of Manutri migrated to the Southern Continent. When the Great Cataclysm tore Voya Nui from the Southern Continent and sent it to the surface of Aqua Magna, some of the Manutri survived the voyage and continued to live on the newly-formed island, where they spent most of their time around the Ring of Ice diving for prey in the surrounding ocean. A second cataclysm affected the Manutri when the foundations of the coastal village of Mahri Nui collapsed and caused it to break off from Voya Nui, settling on the seabed below. The Manutri of Mahri Nui who survived the descent and the effects of the mutagen in the waters were instead captured by Karzahni, who outfitted them with Squid Launchers and Cordak Blasters stolen from the Barraki and turned them into a fighting force that he intended to release upon Barraki and Toa Mahri alike. However, Karzahni was trapped by Sarda and Idris before he could release the Manutri. (LEGO Brickmaster Magazine, November–December 2007)
When the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, the surviving Manutri emigrated from the Matoran Universe to Spherus Magna. (Official Greg Discussion)
Overview
Like all Rahi created by the Brotherhood of Makuta, Manutri are biomechanical creatures whose bodies are composed of both organic and protodermic elements. The Manutri are a flightless, bird-like species. (LEGO Brickmaster Magazine, November–December 2007)
