Due to Fenrakk already having the situation under his control with the Skull Spiders, Makuta didn’t bother having Jumala attack the Okotans, not wanting to completely massacre them and lose his main source of energy. Following the Arrival of the Toa and Phase 2 of the Skull Spider Wars, Makuta planned to use Jumala to bolster the Brotherhood offensive, but Jumala became incapacitated after being critically wounded by Axonn, whom he had encountered. Axonn, not wanting the location of the Labyrinth of Infinity and its guarded secret to be known, engaged in combat with the Rahksi and defeated him.

           With Jumala recovering from his extensive injuries, he was largely out of commission for the rest of the Skull Spider Wars, unable to provide Fenrakk and Kulta aid during the crucial Battle for the City of the Mask Makers. Makuta, incensed by his failures there, made sure to hasten his son’s recovery, and once his army of Energy Leeches had hatched, sent out Jumala to avenge their father’s name.

           Jumala proved to be a capable and viable threat against the Okotans, challenging the Toa on numerous occasions, although like any Rahkshi unable to defeat them all in a six-on-one battle. Nevertheless, his powerful liquefaction capabilities, great strength, and ability to absorb just about anything made him a continued opponent towards the Okotan Alliance. As the war continued, Jumala occasionally had his attention drawn to the energy signatures of the Elemental Deities being hunted by Umarak, but was discouraged from following until Makuta eventually allied with the Hunter.

           Jumala would continue to operate as normal following the alliance, occasionally assisting Umarak in his hunts- However, Umarak remained distrustful of Jumala, finding his ravenous hunger to be too clumsy and unreliable to control, and likewise being wary of Jumala’s personal connection and loyalty towards Makuta. As a result, Umarak only called upon Jumala sparingly, not wanting the Rahkshi to take the Elemental Deities’ energy for himself, nor wanting the beast to kill the Rahi he sought to preserve.

           Jumala would later fight alongside Brotherhood forces to defend the Skull Raiders’ underground city, and afterwards helped lead the Brotherhood campaign to seize the Mask of Control in the Labyrinth of Infinity. Despite initial complications, the latter campaign was a success, and Makuta took control of Umarak using his recovered Mask.

           Having full access to the Hunter’s control over shadow, Makuta took advantage of his newfound affinity for darkness to gift Jumala with a new ability, one fueled by the all-consuming nature of Umarak’s darkness- The Shadow Hand, a powerful vortex of shadow that could extend from Jumala’s maw in the shape of a hand and absorb whatever it grasped without fail.

           When Makuta began to raze Okoto with the Elemental Beasts, Jumala assisted them with his newfound Shadow Hand, and later participated in another assault on the City of the Mask Makers. When Makuta focused his efforts on reuniting his soul, Jumala served as one of his main lines of defense, intercepting the Toa at the City of Destral during their attempts to disrupt Makuta’s plans. Despite Jumala’s best efforts, he and his allies would be defeated by the Toa and their powerful Kaita fusions with the Elemental Deities- Jumala himself was left critically wounded at Destral, with the Toa abandoning him to defeat Makuta.

           Since his father’s death, Jumala has practically vanished with the vast majority of Energy Leeches and other Brotherhood forces. His current whereabouts are unknown, and of major concern to the Okotan Alliance, who fear that Jumala’s insatiable appetite and Shadow Hand could wreak untold havoc upon the still-healing island. Some offers have even been made to grant Jumala amnesty for his crimes in exchange for a tenuous coexistence, but so far Jumala has yet to respond to any of the Okotans’ messages.

           A powerful, biomechanical beast, Jumala is an amphibious predator, able to breathe and function on both land and in water, with the latter environment most conducive to his effectiveness. Like his fellow Energy Leeches, Jumala has the ability to absorb life nergy from prey, his mouth splitting open to create a powerful vortex that can suck in anything, even regular objects, and completely digest them into energy that is stored within his stomach. Whereas other Energy Leeches merely drain the power from their prey, Jumala is able to completely devour and assimilate whatever he consumes, making him far deadlier and efficient.

           Additionally, Jumala’s vortex abilities can be used to conjure powerful gusts that draws food further towards him, making it easier for Jumala to lunge forward and devour whatever he chooses. While most objects are easy for Jumala to swallow whole, he can also use his powerful crushing jaws to rend apart his meals to more easily absorb them. If unable to swallow a victim, Jumala can still drain their energy by direct contact with his jaws, and likewise, his vortex’s pull naturally pulls souls towards him, with nearby victims feeling an almost magnetic force dragging them towards Jumala’s maw. His vortex can absorb just about any form of energy-attack, such as lightning or fire. Finally, if necessary, Jumala can gather up all of his stored life-energy and fire it forward as a powerful energy beam from his maw, although he rarely resorts to this as it leaves him starving afterwards.

           Amidst his ravenous capabilities, Jumala also possesses powerful crab-like claws, and a thick, armored exoskeleton that is a blend between metal, a crustacean’s shell, and shark-skin. His strength, size, and durability are only further exacerbated by his power of Liquefaction, which grants him the ability to turn solids into liquefied versions of themselves.

           By summoning a dome-like shield of Liquefaction energy in front of himself and diving forward, Jumala can turn whatever surface his energy-shield comes into contact with into a liquid and swim through it, essentially enabling him to swim on land by forming underground tunnels of liquefied earth wherever he goes. Once outside of his range and after a short period of time, whatever Jumala has liquefied will eventually revert to a solid state.

           Jumala is able to wield his liquefaction abilities to terrifying efficiency, easily absorbing liquid matter to fuel himself as well as swimming around in it at high speeds. A common hunting tactic of his is to swim around prey, destabilizing the ground they’re standing upon by liquefying everything beneath it- In turn, the ground falls apart and sinks, leaving Jumala’s victims floundering and vulnerable in his liquefied pool of earth for him to devour. Alternatively, he can even leave victims behind in liquefied earth and leave the area, letting the earth turn solid and effectively burying opponents alive. Jumala’s powers allow him to destabilize foundations, and penetrate nearly any barrier, making him a nigh-unstoppable opponent. In order to navigate underwater and underground, Jumala has echolocation.

           Additionally, Jumala has a lure on his head to draw in dimwitted prey, and can absorb large quantities of liquid and blast them forward at rock-shattering pressures, and with his liquefaction power he is never in want of the necessary ammo for this process. Thankfully, Jumala can’t utilize both his liquefaction AND vortex abilities at once, a weakness many of his opponents have taken advantage of. In aquatic environments, however, Jumala is even more powerful, not needing to actively liquefy his surroundings and thus able to maneuver AND use his vortex. His liquefaction doesn’t affect living things, only the non-living and deceased.

           After Makuta possessed Umarak with the Mask of Control, he granted Jumala a fragment of shadow that manifested in the form of a Shadow Hand. With this fragment of darkness embedded in his body, Jumala gained the ability to form an extending arm formed of vortex-energy and shadows that could reach out and lunge towards opponents with frightening range and speed. Once something is touched by his Shadow Hand, it cannot escape Jumala’s pull as it is disintegrated and absorbed down the Shadow Hand’s length into his body. Attempts to break free from its grasp are completely impossible and futile.

           However, due to the Shadow Hand’s unstoppable nature and Jumala’s lack of familiarity with the ability, he is unable to control his Shadow Hand, meaning once something is grasped by it, he will devour it no matter what. During their final confrontation with him at Destral, the Toa took advantage of his supposed strength and turned it against the Rahkshi, tricking him into trying to absorb Destral’s primary tower, an ancient, indestructible automaton that the capital was named after.

           Due to the Destral’s invulnerable nature, Jumala found himself unable to disintegrate and absorb it, but also couldn’t let go- his Shadow Hand’s attempts to pull it in merely resulted in Jumala pulling himselftowards the Destral, slamming into it at high speeds and ripping his jaws apart as the Shadow Hand attempted to absorb the automaton. His mouth and throat severely damaged, Jumala was left helplessly incapacitated and stuck to the Destral, unable to move as his own Shadow Hand absorbed the blood from his wounds. Unable to fight and with time pressing, the Toa opted to abandon Jumala to his fate and head for the Mount of Shadows to defeat Makuta, once and for all.

           With Makuta’s defeat, loss of control over Umarak, and the Shadow Deity’s weakened state, it is currently unknown if Jumala still has access to his Shadow Hand, and if so, how he managed to let go of the Destral and escape.

           On another note, it seems that the confining nature of Jumala’s exoskeleton has, thankfully, prevented his true form from evolving into the further stages in the Energy Leech’s lifecycle. Makuta’s reasoning for keeping Jumala’s exoskeleton was various- One reason was that Jumala’s vortex and liquefaction abilities were assets too unique and powerful to exchange for another Stage 5 Leech, which Makuta could develop from just about any Energy Leech anyway. Likewise, Makuta lacked the time and resources necessary to build a new exoskeleton for Jumala that could fit a Stage 5 Leech- Though if he did have them, the results would no doubt be catastrophic and could possibly devour all of Okoto itself.

           Jumala himself is a dimwitted brute and predator, with little else on his mind besides food and the avoidance of punishment. He has very little ambition or deep thought in his life, especially with both discouraged by Makuta and an insatiable hunger that constantly seizes Jumala’s attention. Despite the blatant abuse and starvation from his father, Jumala is still loyal to Makuta, as a result of upbringing, fear, and genuinely not knowing anything else. And while Jumala possesses a destructive, remorseless nature, there is still some pity towards him from the Toa and Okotans, who have considered the humane option of placing him in stasis, a fate also considered for another ravenous creation of Makuta’s, the Kuma Nui. Until he resurfaces, fate can only tell what Jumala will choose to do with his newfound freedom following Makuta’s demise, and how others must react towards these decisions.
