Umarak, also known as Umarak the Hunter and Umarak the Destroyer, is the main antagonist of the Netflix series, Bionicle: The Journey to One. He is an ancient warrior who desired to seek and capture the Elemental Creatures to drain their powers and take control of them in order to free Makuta from his imprisonment in the Shadow Realm.
History[]
Umarak has been around for as long as the Creatures, born from the shadows, his sole purpose is to hunt them and drain their powers.
Upon Makuta's orders, Umarak hunted for the Mask of Control, which led the hunter to search for the Elemental Creatures, the only beings with knowledge of the mask's whereabouts.
While searching for Uxar in the Region of Jungle, the hunter was confronted by Lewa. The Toa was victorious, but not before Umarak briefly united with Uxar and caught a glimpse of the Labyrinth where the Mask of Control was located. Later, Makuta contacted the hunter, and the latter informed him that in order to find the Mask of Control, uniting with an Elemental Creature was essential.
Soon after, Umarak ambushed the Toa to observe them, and discovered that Pohatu and Ketar had the weakest bond of Toa and Creature, making the Creature of Stone his target. Once the Toa entered the Labyrinth of Control, Umarak gave pursuit and stalked them from the shadows. When the Toa entered the chamber the Mask of Control was hidden in, Pohatu stayed behind for a few moments, reluctant to unite with his creature. Umarak was then able to ambush him, forcibly uniting with Ketar and allowing the hunter to enter the chamber. After dealing with the Toa, the hunter secured the Mask of Control and fled the labyrinth. Pohatu gave pursuit, but, despite his best efforts, the Toa could only make one choice: Save Ketar from falling to its death, or stop Umarak. Pohatu chose to save his Creature, allowing Umarak to flee into the shadows.
Makuta contacted the hunter again, and the former informed Umarak that he would now serve the Mask Hoarder. Although he protested heavily, after donning the Mask of Control, Umarak fell under Makuta's control, and the former transformed in to the Destroyer.
Later, Umarak was ordered by Makuta to raise an army of beasts to distract the Toawhile he looked for the pieces of the Mask of Ultimate Power. He was successful in finding the pieces, and went off to the Black Crater to perform a ritual to summon Makuta. Gali tried to stop him, but she ended up getting banished to the Shadow Realm in the process. During Makuta's arrival, Umarak's energy was drained from him. As a result, his physical form disintegrated, ultimately killing him.
