| - The Protodilians were originally created by Order of Mata Nui scientist Mersery when he exposed a swarm of Protodites specially bred for use in Judgement Cannons to energized protodermis and other mutagens. The intended purpose for the reptilians was to hunt down and exterminate members of the Makuta species in the event the Brotherhood of Makuta become corrupt. The first member of the species to be created, designated Specimen One, proved to be smarter than intended, and eventually rebelled against its creators and escaped. Specimen Two, the individual later known as Ventra, followed the same path, prompting Mersery and his team to begin creating Protodilians with weaker intellects, resulting in no further complications for a time, all the time unaware they were being spied upon by Ventra. Upon the creation of the twentieth specimen, however, complications resulted the Order terminating the project in favor of pursuing different avenues. The compound they used was destroyed, and most of the Protodilians disappeared. What became of the other Protodilians has remained a closely guarded secret of the Order, as Ventra never learned of their fate, and few other beings have even heard of them; Proto-Beast, a Protodilian himself, only recently learned that there were others of his kind. This has prompted him to look into his race's origins in hopes of learning more about them.
