There are several characters who are, for the most part, either good or evil, and who all have a part to play in a science fantasy story. Bionicle was the first Lego product to have an in-house story developed for it, and this has been engineered to last some years into the future. This character is Lehvak-Kal who is a neutral, mechanical, beetle-like creature.
