So do Doom Vipers have Rahkshi heads, or do Rahkshi have Doom Viper heads?

Chirox’s Rahi

           Chirox enjoyed creating vicious, destructive Rahi, and could even be described as excellent towards it; His Visorak Horde, Chirox’s Magnum Opus, was frequently praised by his peers as the ideal hunters and killers. However…

           That’s all Chirox and his Rahi really knew how to do- Destroy. From a utilitarian, conquerer’s perspective, Visorak, Doom Vipers, and Catapult Scorpions are brilliant creatures and inventions. But from the perspective of someone trying to create a functioning ecosystem, precariously balanced amongst multiple species who both take but also contribute? Chirox’s Rahi are utterly useless… All they do is destroy and selfishly take, they do not give nor contribute anything with their existence. Chirox’s creations often times come across as meaningless because of this… Death for the sake of death.

           Chirox tried to adapt by introducing the Visorak Horde to various ecosystems, to prove the existence of one where they COULD fit in, and co-exist with others. Unfortunately, his failures just contributed to the spread of the genocidal spiders and led to mass death and destruction. Swallowing his pride just once, Chirox commissioned one of his fellow Makuta to create a Rahi species specifically tailored to co-existing with his Visorak… Thus, the Colony Drones were born! Besides that, however, his Rahi weren’t very adaptable, and had a hard time fitting into any ecosystem, or collaborating with any species that wasn’t specifically made with them in mind.

          The Venom Flyers and Gate Guardians had similarly been tailor-made to cooperate with the Visorak, and vice-versa; But it seemed that these creatures only contributed to the realization that Chirox’s Rahi simply weren’t compatible with nature, as even beasts designed to co-exist with the Visorak found the same struggles that the spiders did when it came to cooperating with other creatures. And by co-existing with the Visorak and supporting them, these tailor-made Rahi destructively contributed to the deaths of other species in their own way.

           When Teridax assumed control, Chirox delighted in immediately siding with him. He knew that Teridax wouldn’t bother trying to ‘constrain’ Chirox’s creative genius, by forcing him to limit his creations with the consideration of other species’ existences, and respect towards the lives of different beings. Chirox didn’t want to consider the lives of other creatures nor creations beyond his own- They would have to adapt to his own creatures, not the other way around, lest they perish!

          This rigid mindset naturally led to a childish refusal to ease back on the destructive, bloodthirstiness of his creations; Chirox was too proud to heed the reality of his flaws, nor the advice of others. He did find appreciation when his Rahi found usage as devastating weapons of war… But even so, the fact that his creatures were otherwise meaningless DID chafe and bother him, more than Chirox would like to admit. But in the end, he refused to do anything about this and never changed his behavior.

I'm going to make a guess: The random empty ship that was filled with doom vipers was an early attempt by you or someone else to destabilize Metru Nui.

No, that was not my doing; that ghost ship arrived long before I set my initial Plan into motion. To this day, its origin and purpose remain a mystery even to me.

Headcanon that the natives of Spherus Magna are immune to the toxic breath weapon of the Doom Viper as their biology is not protodermis based. To them it’s just a particularly bad tempered and very gassy snake with a few extra heads.
