Roodaka (Earth-4001)

"Leaders are judged in time by the quality of their enemies. History teaches us this."

- Roodaka to Sidorak

Roodaka is a female Vortixx who became the Viceroy of the Visorak and a Brotherhood of Makuta servant. She would later became a traitor to that organization and the Dark Hunters, and a member of an Order of Mata Nui strike team led by Brutaka to rescue Makuta Miserix.

History
The history of Roodaka up until 2553 is the same as her mainstream counterpart.

Personality & Traits
Roodaka is often portrayed as seductive, but undoubtedly very treacherous, as she once lived on Xia where treachery is required to survive. She couldn't care less for all other beings; the only being she admired was Teridax. She hated Sidorak, and only wanted to be with him to become a more powerful adversary; in turn, Sidorak didn't care for Roodaka much either. She is very strategic, and easily revealed Sidorak's easy manipulation and used it to her advantage to become Queen of the Visorak. During the Brotherhood of Makuta/Dark Hunter War, she played the two organizations as if they were pawns in her game, using both to further her own game and double-crossing to form, or break, alliances.

Abilities & Equipment
Roodaka carried a strange scepter-like instrument called a Catcher Claw, which could rotate quickly and snatch enemy spinners from the air. In the set, the Catcher Claw is depicted as part of her hand and the staff version is seen in the movie. It then would fire it back at the enemy that shot it. Roodaka could also fire shadow energy out of her staff. She also had a forearm-mounted mechanical Rhotuka launcher. The spinners she generated could permanently mutate a target. Unlike Visorak venom, her mutations couldn't be absorbed by Keetongu.

In Federation of Fear, Roodaka's tools were taken away and she gained another Rhotuka launcher.
