The Nui-Kopen are huge wasp-like Rahi that dwelled in the thick jungle vegetation of Le-Wahi. They are enemies of the smaller Nui-Rama, and they will willingly attack each other on sight. Their extreme hatred of each other is because of the fact that they hunt the same prey, leading to fierce competition.
Like the Nui-Rama, they can fly high above the treetops at incredible speeds. Nui-Kopen were possessed by Makuta Teridax with his Infected Kanohi, and he often forced them and the Nui-Rama to work together, even living in the same nests. Teridax at one point possessed a Nui-Kopen and even used it to ambush Lewa and fit him with a Infected Mask. But thanks to the efforts of Onua, Lewa was freed and reclaimed his mask. Lewa quickly used his Kanohi Komau to mind control the Kopen and use it as transport to return the kidnapped Matoran residents of Le-Koro..
It is unknown if the Nui-Kopen that inhabited Mata Nui retreated back to Metru Nui when Mata Nui was destroyed.
Mutated Nui-Kopen
Roodaka
Roodaka once owned a mutated Nui-Kopen as her personal pet, which she used to travel very quickly.
Karda Nui
In Karda Nui, a Nui-Kopen attacked Onua, but was bashed into the waters of the Swamp. Because of the mutagen in the waters, the Nui-Kopen transformed into a creature with a longer wingspan, a sharp and barbed stinger and tentacles sprouting from its sides. It was later killed when the Energy Storm struck.
Set Information
The Nui-Kopen can be built out of parts from two Nui-Rama in the Nui-Rama set. Pressing a button on its back caused its four wings to flap.
Trivia
- In the Matoran language, Nui-Kopen translates literally as Great Wasp.
