Norik (Earth-4001)

"Does it matter so much why you are a Toa, so long as you are one? You have the power - that gives you a responsibility to use it."

- Norik to Toa Hordika Vakama

Norik was a Toa of Fire who became the leader of Makuta Teridax's Toa Hagah team. He was mutated into a Rahaga, but was later restored.

History
The history of Norik prior to 2553 is the same as his mainstream counterpart.

Personality & Traits
Norik appeared to be utterly fearless, preferring to lead by doing rather than talking. He was also good at inspiring others. His fluid movements and soothing voice allowed him to charm reptilian Rahi. Norik also detested lying, so he wouldn't do so if he could help it.

Powers & Equipment
As a Ta-Matoran, Norik possessed inaccessible Elemental Fire powers; this manifested in the form of a natural resistance to heat and fire. These powers were fully granted to him as a Toa of Fire. As a Toa of Fire, Norik could create, control, and absorb heat and flame. When he was mutated into a Rahaga, Norik lost access to his Fire powers, but regained them upon being transformed back.

Norik's Kanohi was a Pehkui, which let him shrink to a minimum height of six inches while still maintaining his original level of strength. His Pehkui was carved in the shape of a Noble Kiril, though in honor of someone other than Turaga Dume.

Norik's main Toa Tool was a Lava Spear, which could focus his elemental flame powers, as well as shoot a stream of lava. He also carried a Rhotuka Launching Shield, and his Rhotuka spinners could slow down a target.

As a Rahaga, Norik used a Rahaga staff and Snare Rhotuka, which bound the target in ropes of energy.
