when the toa arrived in the shadow leech hive, they found no leeches, and just mutran instead. kopaka and solek hung back to take on mutran, while the others headed further into the hive, which seemed to be bigger on the inside than it was in the outside. they reached a dead-end, and when they turned around to see if toa ignika was still behind them, they found that in his place was a gigantic monster. without worrying about whether it was hostile or not, tanma (and the others soon afterwards) jumped into battle.
