Rahkshi Lerahk Reviews
Brickipedia
“Lerahk is one of the six original Rahkshi types released. In the BIONICLE universe, they have power over poison, and their staffs had to touch its target in order for it to have an effect, unlike most Rahkshi's staffs. Besides a Lerahk itself, the set comes with the Staff of... More Poison and a green Kraata. If the set was bought at Wal Mart during a limited time offer, instead of coming with its usual green Kraata, it came with a Shadow Kraata instead. They are not the smartest of the Rahkshi, but they are still strong, fast and cunning and their power is enough to destroy things with ease.”

“The green Bionicles have a track record of being the best ones. (Matau, Matau Hordika, Ehlek, Orkahm.) Lerahk's staff ends are the coolest there are, and it's a good idea to have all the Rahksi because of the collectible kraata. (Which, by the way, can attach to the faces of... More Toa and Matoran just as well as the krana that come with the Bohrok and Bohrok-Kal.)”

“Some later Lerahk sets include one of the six variations of Shadow Kraata instead of the original Kraata. This limited edition set was available exclusively at Target stores.”

This happens when Rahkshi a is exposed to a substance called energized protodermis, it dies and mutates into inanimate Rahkshi armour. When Rahkshi have no mission from a Makuta to fulfill they become violent and dangerous beasts. However, with guidance from Makuta they have power enough to overtake even the powerful Toa Nuva.
Rahkshi was introduced in 2003 and currently consists of 6 sets. As of today,
8589 Rahkshi Lerahk is the most valuable Rahkshi set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $90.

Beware the poison touch of Lerahk!
From the exciting new direct-to-video movie BIONICLE: The Mask of Light, here come the Toa Nuva's greatest foes: the Rahkshi. These "sons of Makuta" have been unleashed on the island to find the Mask of Light and stop the coming of the Seventh Toa!
Lerahk uses his Staff of Power to spread poison. By ramming it into the ground, he can turn the soil toxic, and the merest scratch can infect an opponent.
