8746 Keelerak is a BIONICLE set released in late 2004 in some places but early 2005 in most. It contains a Keelerak, one of the breeds of Visorak.
Description[edit | edit source]
8746 Keelerak was released as a canister set in the winter of 2004 / 2005 in Europe, and in the summer of 2005 for North America. It contained 48 pieces, including a Rhotuka and Rhotuka launcher. Pieces from the set could be combined with the pieces from 8745 Roporak to create a Chute Lurker; with those of 8742 Vohtarak and 8744 Oohnorak to create a Parakrekks; or the other five Visorak sets to make the Zivon.
A mini Keelerak was released in the 2005 playsets Visorak Battle Ram, Battle of Metru Nui, Tower of Toa, and Visorak's Gate, the last of which is non-canon. The one-piece figure was molded in a blend of black and glow-in-the-dark plastic. Like the other mini Visorak, the mini Keelerak featured a clip between its mandibles with which it could grasp the Visorak webbing pieces included in each of the sets, but Keelerak could be distinguished from the other mini Visorak by the shape and texture of its mandibles.
Background[edit | edit source]
Keelerak are a breed of Visorak unlike any of the others. They are undisciplined and wild, wanting to fight one moment, then disappearing to do something else the next. Those in the army that conquered Metru Nui planned to overthrow Sidorak and elect one of their own as king. Their Rhotuka Spinner's power is acid, allowing it to eat through almost any substance on contact, including Protosteel. Keelerak are also known to leap into the air and spin wildly as an offensive attack, using their razor-sharp legs as a sort of buzzsaw.
