Umarak

"'Juiced up? Toa, I haven't used this mask yet, but let me show you what it does. Call me Umarak, welcome to the Shadow Realm"

Umarak is the bestest of boys and he hasn't done anything wrong...except killing a few creatures and toa.

It's really confusing but his chest armor and arm muscles have the same color

AU: Toa Umarak (The Hunter)

One of my older Mocs that I made, where I gave him a more Toa look.

Lore: Umarak was once a kra-matoran not one to rely on others he set out and hunted beasts for himself rather than trembling in the shadows, during the enlightenment (mass changing of many matoran into Toa) him and many other kra matorans were changed into Toa, but little did his allies know evil lingered in his heart. He hid it well until Makuta was submerged into a pool of antidermis. With the first Toa of Shadow slowly becoming evil he was the first to join the makuta though he would not change his name.

So some of the big changes that will help you understand that is version of Umarak better, is Kra-Matorans are naturally created. Ekimu and Makuta were the first Toa( and first Toa of their elements) then the enlightenment happened and many other Matoran were changed into Toa.

Other than that Umarak follows closely to his original personality and still seeks the creatures.

Random Thought#2

He has baby girl potential. He deserved so much more. He has done nothing wrong. I can fix him.

Umarak The Hunter

Below the “read more” thing is a really long post about the missed potential behind Umarak the Hunter.

So. The first time I watched Journey to One, I knew it was bad, but this line stuck with me. It’s the first thing we hear Umarak say to the Toa, and it establishes him as a mysterious figure.

As you know, the second half of the 2016 story isn’t great, so none of those mysteries are answered, and it has the most unsatisfying ending of anything I’ve ever seen. Which leads to the point I want to make: That wasn’t the planned ending, the story was canceled early because sets weren’t selling. Most of you probably already believe that, but my evidence for this is the red Umarak mask included in the 2016 Ekimu set.

So, most people already believe that Umarak was supposed to be transformed back to normal instead of being killed, but I have a theory for what was supposed to happen next: Redemption. Umarak as the seventh (or eighth, depending on whether Ekimu counts) Toa. 

Think about it. Umarak says he serves no one, he doesn’t see Makuta as a master. However, when he got turned into the destroyer, he seemed... mindless. IIRC he didn’t even talk. Makuta even says the destroyer is a minion.

(Sorry about bad screenshot quality).

So, this extremely independent, aggressive character just got turned into a pawn, and I don’t think he’d take it lying down when he got his free will back. He wouldn’t even have to become a good guy. He would just ally with the Toa because he hates Makuta. 

I like this idea a lot, mostly because I like Umarak. He just seems cool.

USERS OF THE UMARAK ENTITY/CODE

Ever since the Umarak Entity headcanon I've been thinking about a way to make sense of it so hear me out.

The Umarak program was a code that was to be installed into one of the beings created pre-launch, the allegory for hunting and shadows came from the culture of the Rock Tribe, since they had no Glatorian to be part of the Great Beings, they decided to include them in some way.

Umarak was the name of an ancient hunter that became a myth amongst the Rock Tribe, the same myth that sparked the creation of the Bone Hunters.

The first being the Umarak Entity was installed on was Shadow Stealer, which explains his odd set of abilities and his inclusion on the Hand of Artakha. Sometime later, Shadow Stealer passed the entity/code down to Ancient before being assigned on a mission which he never came back from.

Ancient spent the entirety of his time with the entity without using the abilities it granted him. When he was killed by The Shadowed One, the Umarak Entity found it's new host in him.
