Paluka was a Toa of Earth who was last seen living on the Red Star.

History[edit | edit source]

After Gaardus destroyed the Red Star's return-teleport mechanism, preventing any Toa on the station from being returned to the Matoran Universe, Paluka was one of the many Toa on the Red Star who took refuge in a foundry to hide from the station's hostile owners, the Kestora, and their servants, the Baterra, when the Kestora elected to replace the failing components of the aging station by harvesting parts from the Toa stranded there.[1]

In 150,084 CMT, Paluka helped to fight off a small army of Baterra that emerged from a hole in the roof of the foundry shortly after Kakamu fell through it. After the battle, Paluka informed Commander Perseus that the breach had been sealed, that the invading Baterra had been destroyed with Pehrezz and Dhonoven as casualties, and that Veriukii had claimed that the Baterra's partial success was due to them having different armor than what they wore in their last attack on the foundry. Having been informed by Gaaki that a being called Kakamu had arrived on the station, Paluka then asked Perseus if Kakamu, who had been encased in a Toa Seal by the foundry's Toa as a precaution before the battle, was who Gaaki was referring to. Perseus responded by telling Paluka to use his Kanohi Suletu to scan Kakamu's mind to make sure. Paluka attempted to use his Suletu to read Kakamu's thoughts, but his attempts were blocked by Kakamu as a result of his psychic resistance training. Since Paluka was able to determine that Kakamu at least had a mind to block an intrusion, that meant that he was not a Baterra, and therefore must have been the one Gaaki was talking about. Satisfied with his conclusion, Paluka loaded the still-entombed Kakamu into a supply cart and pushed him through the foundry to Gaaki's war room.[1]

Once Gaaki had arrived in the war room, Paluka combined his elemental powers with those of Gaaki, Perseus, Taldaka, Voriki, and Veriukii to free Kakamu from the Toa Seal. He immediately tried to read Kakamu's mind again, but failed. He declined to introduce himself along with the other Toa, instead waiting on standby in case Kakamu stepped out of line.[1]

A few minutes later, Gaaki received a distressing vision of the future from her Mask of Clairvoyance which appeared to show the aftermath of a great battle in the foundry which had occurred as a result of Mazkertis arriving and casting a Twilight Storm. Paluka was one of many motionless bodies that lay strewn about the foundry; his being slumped against a building. This vision was also witnessed by Kakamu when he entered Gaaki's mind.[1] It is currently unknown whether this future came to pass nor whether Paluka is dead or alive in the present.

Abilities & Powers[edit | edit source]

Elemental Powers[edit | edit source]

  • Earth Creation: Paluka could create blasts or constructs of earth by projecting elemental Earth energy from his hands.
  • Earth Control: Paluka had complete control over earth, and could manipulate it to create small hills and caverns with ease.
  • Earth Absorption: Paluka could absorb certain amounts of earth into his body, which became stored for use in future elemental attacks.
  • Earth Nova Blast: In extreme circumstances, Paluka could have released all of his elemental energy in the form of an Earth Nova Blast, which would have been an explosion of soil large enough to bury an area the size of a large city.

Mask Powers[edit | edit source]

  • Telepathy: When activated, Paluka's Kanohi Suletu enabled him to read the thoughts of others and project his own thoughts into the minds of other beings. However, the effects of his Suletu could be blocked by those with psychic resistance training.[1]
