The sub-zero spearnote 1 was a long, spear-like weapon that served as Kualus's Toa tool when he was a Toa Hagah.1, note 2 Kualus used it to channel and focus his elemental power of ice. Like the lava spear and cyclone spear, it had additional abilities, although it is unknown what they were.2
Kualus presumably acquired the sub-zero spear when he became employed as one of Teridax's Toa Hagah3 (all Toa Hagah were equipped with similar spears4). When Kualus was mutated by Roodaka into a Rahaga, the sub-zero spear was mutated into a small staff.5 When Roodaka reversed Kualus's mutation, the sub-zero spear returned to its original form.CN Kualus presumably continued to use the sub-zero spear on Spherus Magna.
