Life was peaceful for Kauhkahu until in War of the Clones, the Shoe village was totally destroyed with poison from the Lerahk army. Kauhkahu hid away with Mataiti and Pakri. They were the only ones to survive. They later met with Tapio and his friends and joined them. One reason was that they recognized their old leader, Matoran Hordika, who was there too. They however, haven't discussed it or even mentioned it. Kauhkahu then took part in th great War of the Clones (Battle) until it was interrupted by the Spiders of Doom.
