"'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.

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.

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

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.
