Keetongu (Earth-4001)

"Keetongu is a most honorable creature, skilled in the ways of venoms — not to mention our only hope to stand against the Visorak horde. If you are to be the Toa you once were, it is Keetongu you must seek."

- Rahaga Norik, speaking to the Toa Hordika

Keetongu was a highly intelligent, powerful Rahi, who spent many years living secluded in Ko-Metru, known to the world only as a legend. He aided the Toa Hordika and the Rahaga in their struggle against the Visorak and killed their king, Sidorak.

History
The history of Keetongu until 2553 is the same as his mainstream counterpart.

Personality & Traits
Keetongu is guided more by empathy than by a strict moral code; he perceives good and evil by distinguishing between the emotions associated with each. If he meets a being of darkness, Keetongu will usually attack them on sight, for his goodly nature is provoked to rage. He also hates the Visorak for killing his species and has spent much time helping the horde's victims.

Powers & Equipment
Keetongu could heal anyone afflicted by poison or venom, as long as the poison had not fully taken effect, and his spinning shield array could absorb attacks that he could then send back at his opponent using his Rhotuka spinner. His single visible eye could not actually see, but it could detect the good or evil in someone. The eyes that he used to see with were hidden behind his false eye. His armor glowed like the sun, hinting that it was very high quality. He also carried a climbing claw that can be used as a melee weapon. He also is very physically powerful, killing Sidorak with a single blow. Keetongu was a strong adversary because of his offensive capabilities.

Trivia

 * As shown in Bionicle 3, Keetongu understands the Matoran language, but cannot speak but a few phrases of it, such as "Toa," "Duty," and "no."
