Protodax were Toa-sized version of protodites enlarged by the power of the Kanohi Ignika to serve as additional guardians for the mask. Protodax were wild and savage by nature. They had the unique ability to split into two protodax of equal size and strength anytime they were physically struck, which caused them to multiply rapidly in battle.1 Their Zamor spheres could shrink a target to microscopic size.2
Notes
Protodax was one of the many guardians of the Mask of Life. The mask used its incredible powers to enlarge a microscopic protodite to full-size, unleashing a savage creature on the world. Protodax then served the mask and would attack and destroy anyone who tried to steal the Kanohi. Its zamor launcher (salvaged from a fallen victim) fired a sphere that permanently shrank its enemy to microscopic size, plunging its foe into a universe filled with vicious protodites.3
Protodax were giant-sized versions of the microscopic protodites, but with a special power: every time one was struck, it would split into two of the creatures, making their numbers grow rapidly in battle.4
A protodax was a protodite that had been enlarged several trillion times.5
Protodax were protodites enlarged trillions of times by the power of the Mask of Life.6
Protodax looked exactly like protodites with the exception of the Zamor sphere launchers they carried.7
Protodax were protodites enlarged trillions of times by the Mask of Life and used as guardians for it.8
Unlike standard protodites, protodax couldn't fly.9
Protodax did not have enhanced intelligence compared to their protodite forms.10
The protodax split apart reflexively, not consciously.11
When the protodax split apart, they didn't all have Zamor sphere launchers as there was no reason equipment would be duplicated.12
The protodax was on the staircase leading to the Chamber of Life.13
