 * The Bionicle comic had "Toa" turned into "Toan" (pluralized "Toaner"). This is because toa, pronounced something like ['tu:a] is the Swedish word for toilet. No such change occured in the movies, where pronounciation helped prevent such a mistake. Also, many words that did not have a plural form in English gained one in Swedish (again, only in the comic), like the Vahki (Vahkirer).
 * The dark hunters to Mörkerjägarna (The darkness hunters). (Comic.)
