“He is one of the Barraki. He has a claw on one hand (in the BIONICLE universe he had two but, the other one was currently detached) and a Squid Launcher in the other. There are two holders for Sea Squid on his left shoulder. He is brown and yellow with red eyes.”

“The Barraki as a whole are great sets that lived up to my expectations after the Inika. Regardless of why you buy Bionicle, Carapar will appease your LEGO needs. If you don't pick up Carapar, at least pick up one of the other five -- they're worth it.”

The strongest of the Barraki, Carapar claws can crush or shred anything in his way. His armored shell makes him invulnerable to just about everything but electrical attack. Close in, and you are trapped in his claws -- stay away, and he will get you with his sea squid launcher. Either way, Carapar rules the sea!
