I made a giant stuffed Visorak for some reason. I call him Bogie. His Rhotuka can fly several feet when frisbee tossed, and can be hidden in a little pouch on his back or sit on top of his back with velcro. First time making a stuffed animal.

Visorak Species History in Bionicle

We really don't know a lot about these guys, which is a shame. They are, after all, long term slaves of The Makuta whom have been subject to uncountable atrocities in the process. We know next to nothing about their language, their culture, their religious beliefs or understanding of their cosmos.

Still, I think we can come to some conclusions about their overarching timeline sequence.

Let's get the easy one out of the way in the first post.

The Visorak were created by Makuta Chirox. He was, by all accounts, very pleased with this.

So. What in Karzahni is the Zivon?

For those who don't well remember; the Zivon is a massive scorpion Kaiju which has, on multiple occasions, devoured a majority of the Visorak Horde.

It is a Kaiju so powerful, so unstoppable, so irresistible, that even in a setting as saturated with OP super-warriors as Bionicle, in the tens of thousands of years that The Zivon has existed, the only way anyone has come up with to make it stop laying waste to everything in its path is by trapping it in an alternate dimension.

If “The Zone of Darkness” ever had native life in the past, it doesn’t anymore.

In canon, we are told that the Zivon is the "natural predator" of the Visorak. Now, we learn this long before we learn about the roll of the Makuta in the ecology of the Matoran Universe, and thus the distinctly a-standard way anyone in the setting would consider the concept of a "natural predator."

But suffice to say, by normal definitions the Visorak aren't naturally occurring. So what in the mind of Tren Krom is the Zivon?

Well as many of us will remember, Chirox has a rival.

A more talented, but also genuinely and dangerously unhinged rival.

As I have proposed elsewhere before; creating an enormous, invincible Scorpion Kaiju, which neither he nor anyone else can control, is precisely Makuta Mutran's style.

From this, we may conclude that the Zivon comes second in the timeline.

This is a meme I made many years ago. All my templates are quite old.

When the Visorak Horde invaded Metru Nui, it seemed to the embattled Toa Hordika like there were countless biomechanical spiders around every corner - but I decided to count them anyway.

Just how ridiculously outnumbered were the Toa during the Great Rescue? Watch this video to find out!

Was there a central intelligence the Vahki answered to in Metru Nui, asides from Dume/Makuta!Dume. The books indicate the Vahki themselves have a hierarchy, and even promotions for good performance.

Admittedly this is post Cataclysm and the Vahki started acting weird there, but a lot of the wording in this section indicated the Vahki resistance wasn't random cops shooting whatever moved but organized, directed violence. Visorak while underestimated were prioritized over other Rahi, Vahki were being pulled from their home Metru to address the fact they were running out of manpower and this particular Vahki had to be reporting it's reason for reverse advancing to something. Was it some Super Vahki that oversaw all Vahki operations that handed relevant reports to Dume/Makuta or a body-less backup AI Nuparu built just in case there wasn't a Turaga(/Toa?) to take orders from that would then step in until a replacement was found or was there some Vahki council arguing about how best to wage a guerilla war or did it just kind of happen as a result of the Cataclysm causing them to get weird? Something else?
