Flying High with Air Kanohi

Air Kanohi are famous for their high-flying powers and dangerous uses.

Kanohi Miru:

Miru.png

The Kanohi Miru is the Mask of Levitation. It allows its user to float and glide on air or slow their fall. It is not to be confused with the Kanohi Kadin, and cannot be used to levitate from a standing start. To simulate flight while using this mask, the user has to rely on wind currents to push them while they stay afloat.

Kanohi Miru are created from Teleport and Weaken Kanoka disks on Metru Nui.

Kanohi Mahiki:

Kanohi Mahiki.png

The Kanohi Mahiki is the Mask of Illusion. The Great version allows its user to shapeshift to a limited degree or to cast illusions. The user can shapeshift into forms of similar mass and imitate voices, but cannot copy any powers the original has. The Noble version does not let the user shapeshift. Instead, it only allows them to cast illusions. Kanohi Elda and Kanohi Rode are some masks which will see through its usage.

On Metru Nui, Kanohi Mahiki are made from Reconstitute At Random and Weaken Kanoka.

Kanohi Suletu:

Suletu.png

The Kanohi Suletu is the Mask of Telepathy. It allows its user to read the thoughts of others and to project their own. One attack method for this mask is to project mental noise, which greatly distracts the target. A Kanohi Suletu is always on at a low level.

Kanohi Zatth:

The Kanohi Zatth is the Mask of Summoning. It allows its user to randomly summon one or more Rahi to their location for help. However, the user has no control over what Rahi will be called, nor control of them once they arrive. The Rahi summoned must be able to share the user’s environment. Additionally, the user cannot use a Kanohi Zatth to send Rahi away.

Kanohi Felnas:

The Kanohi Felnas is the Mask of Disruption. It allows its user to cause any one active natural ability of another to go out of control.

Kanohi Kualsi:

Kualsi big.png

The Kanohi Kualsi is the Mask of Quick Travel. It allows its user to instantly move to any place in their field of vision. The user can teleport objects with them, but not other beings. The user can travel to places they see via a Kanohi Suletu, but the process is very risky.

On Metru Nui, Kanohi Kualsi are made from Teleport Kanoka.

Kanohi Miri Nuva:

Axalara T9-Adapted Kanohi Miru Nuva.PNG

The Miru Nuva is the Kanohi Nuva Mask of Levitation, formed when a Kanohi Miru is dipped in Energized Protodermis. It allows its user and those nearby to hover. When combined with the power of the Kakama Nuva, the mask allows the user(s) to levitate upwards at high speeds. The only beings able to use this mask are the Toa Nuva.

Feeling Dry? Water Kanohi Here to Help

Kanohi of Water are used by Water Toa and blue coloured villains. Each one gives ability to do something with water.

Kanohi Kaukau:

The Kanohi Kaukau is the Mask of Water Breathing. It allows its user to breathe water and water only.

On Metru Nui, Kanohi Kaukau are made from Regeneration, Shrink, and Remove Poison Kanoka.

Kanohi Rau:

The Great Kanohi Rau in action.

The Kanohi Rau is the Mask of Translation. The Great version allows its user to understand and speak in almost any written and spoken form of communication. The Noble version only lets the user understand writing, runes and symbols. Both versions enable the user to comprehend the meaning behind carvings.

On Metru Nui, Kanohi Rau are made from Remove Poison and Enlarge Kanoka.

Kanohi Elda:

Elda.png

The Kanohi Elda is the Mask of Detection. It allows its user to sense hidden beings in the area, such as an Kanohi Iden-user or a Kanohi Huna-user. It also lets the user detect the Kanohi Ignika’s presence, indicating to its user how near the Mask of Life is through increasingly strong headaches. There are only a few Great versions because its main purpose is to locate the Mask of Life. A Kanohi Elda is always on at a low level.

Kanohi Faxon:

The Kanohi Faxon is the Mask of Kindred. The Great version allows its user to mimic the powers of any Rahi they know that share their general environment (a Toa underwater can copy sea Rahi powers, while a Toa on land can only copy land Rahi powers). The Noble version would let its user copy the powers of any Rahi that share their specific environment (only desert Rahi as opposed to all land Rahi). This mask has been noted for its usefulness for those who have a good knowledge of Rahi.

Kanohi Avsa:

The Kanohi Avsa is the Mask of Hunger. It allows its user to drain light, energy, or positive emotions from a target at a distance. The user will absorb the energy removed from their target. This mask can be used to make lightless beings such as Shadow Matoran.

Kanohi of Clairvoyance:

Noimage.jpg

The Mask of Clairvoyance is a Kanohi that allows its user to see into the near future. While the user can foresee the future, they cannot do anything to change it. Using the mask is very exhuasting and debilitating; the mask uses the user, in a sense, rather than the other way around. This is because the user has no control over what the mask shows them. A Mask of Clairvoyance is always on at a low level.

Kanohi Kaukau Nuva:

The Kaukau Nuva is the Kanohi Nuva Mask of Water Breathing, formed when a normal Kanohi Kaukau is immersed in Energized Protodermis. It allows its user and those nearby to breathe only water at any depth and withstand water pressure for an unlimited amount of time. It can be used to suffocate enemies by sharing the power, although a Toa would consider that to be immoral. The only beings able to use this mask are Toa Nuva.

Freezing Masks, Legendary Ice Masks

Like the Fire Kanohi, The Ice Kanohi is freezing cold and white.

Kanohi Akaku:

Akaku.png

The Kanohi Akaku is the Mask of X-Ray Vision, sometimes called the Mask of Vision. It allows its user to see through solid objects. The only material it can’t see through is the Protodermis layer that makes up Metru Nui’s dome. Kanohi Akaku are commonly fitted with telescopic lenses to give their users enhanced vision.

On Metru Nui, Kanohi Akaku are crafted from Kanoka of Regeneration and Teleportation.

Kanohi Matatu:

The Kanohi Matatu is the Mask of Telekinesis. It allows its user to move targets within their range of view by thinking and lets them project force by thought (i.e. a telekinetic punch).

Kanohi Matatu are made from Teleport and Shrink Kanoka on Metru Nui.

Kanohi Iden:

Iden.png

The Kanohi Iden is the Mask of Spirit. It allows its user to release their spirit from their body. While released, their spirit can move at great speeds and inhabit other live (yet spiritless) bodies or self-powered robots like Exo-Toa. Their body will become limp, as there is nothing to inhabit it. Only those who wear Kanohi Elda or Kanohi Rode can see and communicate to the user’s released spirit.

While released, the user’s spirit cannot access any of their body’s powers. This is because the use of powers requires a union of the spirit and the body. Released, the user’s spirit is separate from their body, so they cannot use their powers. Their body is also vulnerable, as they have no way to protect it themselves. If the user’s body is destroyed, their spirit will eventually fade away, as they have no body to return to.

Kanohi Tryna:

Tryna.png

The Kanohi Tryna is the Mask of Reanimation. It allows its user to give artificial life to and control dead bodies for as long as they maintain concentration.

Kanohi Crast:

The Kanohi Crast is the Mask of Repulsion. It allows its user to repel other objects for offense or defense; the target cannot touch the user, and is flung away with considerable force. The user can also achieve limited flight by repelling the ground.

Kanohi of Rahi Control:

Noimage.jpg

The Mask of Rahi Control is a Kanohi that allows its user to control one or more Rahi simultaneously. The mask power is not as effective on insects as it is on other types of Rahi. Rahi typically do not have enough willpower to resist the mask-user’s control, with the possible exceptions of Krahka and Keetongu.

Kanohi Akaku Nuva:

The Akaku Nuva is the Kanohi Nuva Mask of X-Ray Vision, created when a Kanohi Akaku is dipped in Energized Protodermis. It allows its user and those nearby to see through objects and illusions. They are fitted with a telescopic lens to give the user(s) enhanced viewing. For some reason, this mask’s power cannot pierce certain materials, such as Karda Nui’s mist and the Metru Nui dome. The only beings able to use this mask are Toa Nuva.

Flaming Hot Fire Kanohi

Each Toa has a mask and each with it’s own unique power. Without it the Toa are useless or may kill others.

Kanohi Hau (Mask of Shielding):

Jaller/Lhikan's Kanohi Hau

The Kanohi Hau is the Mask of Shielding. It allows its user to protect themselves against any physical attack they are aware of by throwing up a force shield. The difference between the Great and Noble versions is that the Great Hau forms a stronger and longer-lasting shield than the Noble Hau.

Kanohi Hau are made from Growth and Regeneration Kanoka on Metru Nui.

The most iconic Kanohi Hau is Lhikan’s. It was transformed into its Noble version when he became a Turaga. Before he died, he entrusted it to Vakama. Vakama later gave the mask to Jaller on Mata Nui. He wore it for over 1000 years, until Karzahni forced him to exchange it for a powerless Kanohi Calix. Shortly afterwards, while battling Icarax, Gali Nuva unleashed a Nova Blast, destroying Karzahni and bringing the mask afloat. Tahu retrieved it.

Kanohi Huna (Mask of Concealment):

The Kanohi Huna is the Mask of Concealment. The Great Kanohi Huna allows its user to turn completely invisible, although their shadow remains and they can still be heard. The Noble version does the same thing, although the effect’s duration is much less than that of the Great. The only masks which will see through its usage are the Kanohi Elda, Kanohi Arthron, and Kanohi Rode.

On Metru Nui, Kanohi Huna are made from Shrink, Enlarge, and Freeze Kanoka.

Kanohi Calix (Mask of Fate):

The Kanohi Calix is the Mask of Fate. It allows its user to perform at the absolute peak of their natural physical abilities (such as seemingly impossible leaps, dodges, flips, etc.) so that they move and react better than almost any unenhanced member of their species. It also alters probability to help accomplish this.

Below is a quote from Greg Farshtey on how the Kanohi Calix works:

“No, it doesn’t allow him to do anything–it doesn’t make him invulnerable or allow him to fly or something. It allows him to do things he would be able to do within reason (like leap, dodge, etc.), just in ways that would seem miraculous to an outsider. So, for example, Zaktan fires his eyebeams at Jaller from close range, so that you would think he could never dodge in time–and the mask lets him dodge. Jaller has to leap across a crevasse to save Hahli, and it’s such a long leap that normally he would not make it–but the mask lets him get across.”

Kanohi Anthron (Mask of Sonar):

Arthron.PNG

The Kanohi Arthron is the Mask of Sonar. It allows its user to sense the movement and positions of targets through echolocation. The wearer can also use this mask to examine their surroundings in darkness. This mask is one of the few that can detect an invisible target (like a Kanohi Huna-user). As with real sonar, it identifies the general shape and movement of its target, but does not provide details. A Kanohi Arthron is always on at a low level.

Kanohi Jutlin:

The Kanohi Jutlin is the Mask of Corruption. It allows its user to corrode inanimate objects within their range of vision by causing them to decompose and break down.

Kanohi Kiril:

BH Dume's Kanohi Kiril.pngThe Kanohi Kiril in set form.

The Kanohi Kiril is the Mask of Regeneration. It allows its user to repair damage to inorganic objects they can see. Only the Great can regenerate Protosteel. The amount of damage the user can repair varies between the Great and Noble. Neither version can heal organic damage.

On Metru Nui, Kanohi Kiril are made from Regeneration Kanoka.

Kanohi Pehkui:

BH Kanohi Pehkui.PNGThe Kanohi Pehkui in set form.

The Kanohi Pehkui is the tMask of Diminishment. It allows its user to shrink themselves and their tools down to a minimum of six inches while still retaining their full strength and power capacity.

On Metru Nui, Kanohi Pehkui are made from Shrink Kanoka.

Kanohi Hau Nuva:

The Hau Nuva is the Kanohi Nuva Mask of Shielding, formed when a Kanohi Hau is immersed in Energized Protodermis. The Hau Nuva allows its user and those nearby to shield themselves from physical attack they are aware of. The only beings able to use this mask are Toa Nuva.

Turaga of Mata Nui/ Metru Nui Are Here to Help

At some point of their life, Toa teams will revert into Turaga after they have completed their mission. There are many Turaga in the BIONICLE universe.

Turaga Vakama:

Turaga Vakama as a set.https://i0.wp.com/www.bzpower.com/Imaging/setref/8540_image5.jpg

After his return to the island of Mata Nui, Vakama and the other five Toa sacrificed their Toa Power to revive the Matoran from their slumber. Now a Turaga, Vakama was faced with the task of leading and protecting his Matoran from the wild Rahi and Teridax, who made life hard for the Matoran on their island paradise. In the absence of Toa, Vakama used his diminished elemental powers to aid in the defense of his village. He also chose Jaller as his right hand Matoran, and Kapura as his left.

Not long before the arrival of the Toa Mata, Vakama was captured by Fire Mahi. He also lost his Firestaff, which somehow ended up in the tunnels of Onu-Wahi. Shortly after he and his tool were recovered by Takua, the Toa Mata were summoned from the Kini-Nui.

When Toa Tahu first arrived in Ta-Wahi, and was trapped by Jaller, Vakama intervened, stopping Tahu from taking his revenge on the captain of the guard. After aiding Tahu in his search for Kanohi, Vakama asked Takua to gather the Chronicler’s Company, to protect the Toa Mata from being trapped underneath the Kini-Nui while they confronted Teridax. Afterwards, Vakama spoke with Takua once more, who had witnessed the awakening of the first Bohrok, calming the Matoran, and welcoming him back to his home in Ta-Koro.

After the Pahrak and Kohrak attacked Ta-Koro, Vakama told the Toa Mata of the Bohrok, causing the Toa to wonder how many secrets the Turaga were hiding. After the transformation of the Toa Nuva, Vakama witnessed the attack of the Bohrok-Kal, in which the Toa Nuva lost their elemental powers. During this time, Vakama was trapped with Pohatu, Onua, and Lewa in the Place of Shadow. Facing the Rahi Nui for the second time, he confronted the beast by turning invisible and taunting it. As the beast remembered and hated Vakama’s voice, it charged him, jamming its horns into the wall, and allowing the Toa and Turaga to escape.

Vakama later witnessed the discovery of the Mask of Light, and encouraged Takanuva following Jaller’s death. After Takanuva defeated Teridax, and Jaller was revived, Vakama was present when Metru Nui was rediscovered. He then decided to share his tales of his time as a Toa with the Toa Nuva and the Matoran.

After approximately three months of story-telling and Boat construction, Vakama, the Turaga, the Toa Nuva, and all the Matoran at last set foot on Metru Nui.

Turaga Nuju:

Turaga Nuju as a set.Turaga_Nuju2.jpg

As a Turaga, Nuju gradually began to speak only in the language of the birds, thus training Matoro to be his translator. Nuju gave his reason for this dramatic change as: If one did not have the patience to hear him speak, then they were not worth talking to. He retained his knowledge of the Matoran language, but used it only in emergencies, such as explaining to a newly-arrived Toa Mata Kopaka his quest. He designated his translator Matoro as his right hand, and Kopeke as his left.

As a Turaga, Nuju oversaw the construction of Ko-Koro, and later aided in its defense. When Kopaka arrived on Mata Nui, Nuju directed him to find the “point of all-seeing” to find his first Kanohi. Nuju also instructed Takua to gather a group of Matoran to defend Kini-Nui while the Toa Mata went to Mangaia, after Matoro had been found and returned to the village. Nuju told Takua to take Kopeke, and that his ice carving skills would come in handy. He helped the Ko-Matoran during Bohrok attacks, and when the Bohrok-Kal attacked, Nuju used his Matatu to lift Kopaka out of a canyon he had gotten stuck in.

Nuju was a witness to the battle between Makuta Teridax and Takanuva, the Toa of Light. The battle resulted in the creation of Takutanuva, the combined form of the two beings. Takutanuva opened a door leading to Metru Nui, permitting the inhabitants of Mata Nui to return to the island-city. Before returning, Nuju and the other Turaga related their story of their lives as Toa to the Toa Nuva.

Turaga Nokama:

Turaga Nokama as a set.

The Toa Metru sacrificed their power to awaken the Matoran, and turned into the six Turaga. Nokama spent the next thousand years using her weak elemental powers to help the Ga-Matoran defend their floating village from Rahi. Her right hand Matoran is Macku, while her left hand Matoran is Kotu. Also during her early times on Mata Nui, she and the other Turaga captured and imprisoned hundreds of Kraata. Later, she would witness the coming of new Toa, and was the one who would appoint Takua as Chronicler while on his journeys around the island. She was imprisoned by some of Teridax’s infected Rahi, but was freed by Takua. During an attackon Ga-Koro, she and the rest of the villagers, save for Macku, were imprisoned in a hut, which then sunk the the bottom of Naho Bay. She worried franticly of what had become of Macku until Takua came, and talked to her through an air tube, telling that Macku was fine. When the hut’s pump was repaired, Nokama came out and saw the Tarakava that imprisoned them come back, fortunately Gali came at that point and and defeated the Rahi. Nokama talked with Takua thanking him for helping her village. She grounded Macku for wandering away, despite that was what saved them. When Takua came back looking for company to his journey to Kini Nui, she let Macku journey with them, since she was miserable staying in her Hut. When the Bohrok awakened, she helped the Ga-Matoran defend their aquatic home and would host the company of the Po-Matoran near the end of the Bohrok struggle. While the Matoran were busy repairing their village, Nokama was informed by Hahli, that Gali had summoned a giant tidal wave, but was then powerless to stop it. Nokama went to Gali’s aid, and found that she was greatly angered by her loss of powers, and how her brothers refused to listen to her when she foresaw somthing like this happening. Nokama sympathized with her loss of power, and led her to the cavern which the Toa Metru had journeyed to Metru Nui, so she could find a Kanohi Nuva. She then closed off the cave, and hoped that Gali would figure out how to escape. When Gali found the mask and came out of the cavern, she asked Nokama if the the carving that Nokama made 1000 years ago that she saw was one of her as a Toa. Nokama dismissed, saying that Gali was a Toa, and that she was a Turaga. After the defeat of the Bohrok-Kal, Nokama appointed Macku and Hahli to be her Kohlii champion, despite that Hahli had absolutely no experience in the sport. After the revelation of the Mask of Light, it was she who translated the writing on the mask which foretold of the coming of a Seventh Toa who would defeat Makuta.

Turaga Matau:

Turaga Matau as a set.Turaga Matau as seen in Mask of Light.

As a Turaga, Matau saw a millennium pass by in the blink of an eye. He was called the Singer of Le-Koro in Mata Nui Online Game. He and his Matoran were constantly on guard for wild Rahi and Teridax’s attacks, and he aided the Matoran in the defense of the Koro with his weakened mask and powers.

One day, this all changed; Takua, the Chronicler, found all six of the ancient Toa Stones and used them to summon guardians for the Matoran. These six, named the Toa Mata, drifted in from sea. Lewa, Toa of Air, came to Le-Koro, where Matau taught him the legends of Mata Nui and told him to collect the six great masks. Throughout the battles of the new Toa, Matau advised Lewa many times.

During an attack on Le-Koro, Matau was captured by the Nui-Rama, along with many of the other Le-Matoran. Kongu and Takua later entered the hive intending to free them. Unfortunately, they were captured as well. Matau spoke to Takua of events happening there, including Lewa’s infection. Fortunately for everyone, Onua arrived and confronted Lewa, and in the ensuing fight, Matua helped Onua by telling him about the mask. Lewa was restored to the light, and the Le-Matoran were all taken back to Le-Koro.

When the Bohrok awakened, the Lehvak quickly arrived and conquered Le-Koro, despite attempts at defense by Matau and his villagers. He was enslaved by a Krana Za and became an agent of the swarm, burning through his beloved forest and assisting in the destruction of Le-Koro (along with the acidic Lehvak). He also ‘greeted’ Toa Lewa and enslaved him as well. Matau was freed when the Boxors attacked, along with Takua, Tamaru and Kongu, upon which the Turaga began the process of rebuilding his village.

During the Rahkshi invasion, Matau did little, keeping his villagers safe from the dangerous Rahkshi. He, along with the other Turaga, led the Matoran into Teridax’s lair, where they bore witness to the duel of Takanuva and Teridax. After this, he helped tell the tales of the Toa Metru to the Toa Nuva, and finally journeyed back to Metru Nui.

Turaga Onewa:

Once on Mata Nui, Onewa willingly sacrificed his Toa Power to awaken the Matoran, transforming into a Turaga in the process. He supervised the construction of Po-Koro, making sure that it resembled Po-Metru, and aided in the defense of the village with his mask and powers. He became known for his ability to judge and resolve disputes fairly, and was nicknamed “Referee” for his efforts. He, together with Turaga Whenua, also invented the sport of Kolhii. His (former) right hand Matoran was Hewkii while his left hand Matoran is Hafu.

During the Po-Koro Epidemic, Onewa was greatly saddened at the sickness of of the Po-Matoran, and spent most of his time carving beds for the sick. It was Takua who showed him the origin of he sickness, the Comet Kohlii ball. However, Onewa knew that the Matoran would not relinquish the balls without proof, so he sent Takua to find the source of the infected balls. When the source was exposed, and Pohatu had thrown them out to sea, Onewa rewarded Takua with a chisel.

Onewa spotted the Bohrok starting to destroy some of Po-Wahi’s famous monuments, and fiercely attacked the Pahrak that were doing it, even thought they didn’t even recognize his precence. He later went back to warn the Po-Matoran of the Bohrok’s arrival. He later led the Po-Matoran to Ga-Koro in order to escape the Tahnok swarms, which were ravaging Po-Koro. There, as they and the Ga-Matoran prepared to make a last stand against the Bohrok, the Toa defeated the Bahrag and saved them from the Pahrak swarms.

Onewa was present at the Kolhii Match that took place in Ta-Koro and witnessed the revelation of the Mask of Light.

Onewa withheld information about Metru Nui and his life as a Toa from Pohatu, and continued to do so, leaving Vakama the task of telling the story of their lives as Toa Metru.

Turaga Whenua:

Turaga Whenua as a set.Turaga Whenua in Mask of Light.

When Whenua became a Turaga, he carried the Drill of Onua. He chose the underground caverns of Onu-Wahi for the location of Onu-Koro, aiding in its construction, and later in its defense, using his remaining powers. He chose Onepu as his right hand Matoran, while his left hand Matoran is Taipu. He was once rescued from a Vatuka by Takua in the Onu-Koro mines.

Whenua was swamped by a number of complaints from his village for a long time, ranging from poor mining conditions to a lava flow blocking the Lightstone mine. After Takua had helped with a number of the problems, Whenua was finally able to help him and answer his questions.

When Takua came looking for a Matoran to accompany him to Kini-Nui, Whenua told him to take Taipu, who loved his experience to Le-Wahi. Takua later visited Whenua while the village was under lockdown to ask about the mysterious rock layer, and Whenua told him they suspected it to be another entrance to Mangaia.

After the Bohrok-Kal attacked Mata Nui, Whenua traveled with Onua in search for his Kanohi Nuva. Later on, after the discovery of the Mask of Light, Teridax unleashed his Rahkshi on the island. Whenua took Onua and Pohatu to the outskirts of Po-Wahi into a cave, revealing thousands of Kraata. He informed the Toa Nuva that it was the Kraata that poisoned the Kanohi Teridax used to enslave the Rahi. He continued, saying that it was for this reason that he and the other Turaga captured as many of them as they could, locking them up in suspended animation. Unfortunately, the Rahkshi arrived, causing a cave-in and releasing all the Kraata from their prisons. The three of them managed to escape from the cave, sealing the rest of the Kraata in. A Shadow Kraata also managed to escape, but Pohatu captured it.

Turaga Dume:

Dume in Legends of Metru Nui.Dume's body in a Matoran Sphere.

When the Matoran returned to Metru Nui, Dume and Nuju began paying close attention to the stars, eventually coming to the horrifying conclusing that Mata Nui was slowly perishing. While the Matoran were rebuilding the city, Dume called a conference of the Toa Nuva and Turaga, revealing his discovery. He spoke of the legendary Mask of Life, a powerful artifact that could save the Great Spirit’s life.

Shortly after revealing this shocking news, Dume led the Turaga and the Toa Nuva to a spherical room underneath Onu-Metru where six Toa Canisters were floating. He then witnessed the departure of the Toa Nuva to the island of Voya Nui.

After Jaller became angry with the Turaga due to their refusal to tell the Matoran where the Toa Nuva had gone, Dume grew furious, going so far as to say Nokama betrayed them by revealing to Jaller what the Turaga had learned. He also refused to send Takanuva after the Toa Nuva, claiming that it was his destiny to defend the city. Takanuva directly disobeyed his orders, and journeyed with with Jaller and his crew of Matoran, though he later returned. Dume promised Takanuva to consider sending him after the Toa Nuva and Jaller and his team, the latter having already returned to defend the city.

Dume is now in Metru Nui, along with the other Turaga, awaiting the return of the Toa Nuva, and continuing the reconstruction of Metru Nui.

Turaga Lhikan:

When three of the Toa Metru, Nuju, Whenua and Onewa, were captured and sent to the Dark Hunter Prison, they were surprised to discover that they shared their cell with a Turaga they did not recognize. Lhikan, the Turaga in disguise, trained them to use their mask powers.

Once Nuju had mastered his Kanohi Matatu’s Telekinesis power and used it to create a hole in the wall of their cell, the three Toa Metru and Lhikan made their escape.

During Vakama’s journey through Le-Metru, the Toa Metru of Fire was beset with a vision in which Lhikan appeared as a Toa. In the vision, Lhikan warned Vakama to heed the warnings of his visions, or else suffer the consequences of ignoring them.

Lhikan and his Toa Metru companions were travelling through an area of the Archives when they ran into Vakama, Nokama and Matau. Once the Toa Metru were reunited, Lhikan revealed his identity and asked Vakama if the heart of Metru Nui was safe. Vakama had misconstrued the initial vision in which Lhikan commanded to “save the heart of Metru Nui,” thinking that this referred to Lhikan himself. Lhikan explained that the “heart” was, in fact, the city’s Matoran population. While Vakama brooded over his misinterpretation, he discovered the real Dume in a Matoran Sphere. Witness to this discovery, the Turaga’s suspicion was confirmed that an imposter had taken control of Metru Nui.

Turaga Lhikan and the Toa Metru made their way to the Coliseum, where they challenged the false Turaga Dume. Makuta Teridax, the imposter, exposed himself and began absorbing power from the Coliseum’s power plant as the Great Cataclysm came into effect. Using a stolen Vahki transport, the Toa Metru and Lhikan escaped the shadowed and crumbling city. As they reached the Great Barrier, Teridax caught up to them and a battle ensued over the possession of the Vahi, the Great Mask of Time.

In the end, Lhikan was killed, sacrificing himself to save Vakama from Teridax’s shadow hand. The dying Turaga gave Vakama his mask before he died. His last words were:

“I am proud to have called you brother, Toa Vakama.”

Turaga Jovan:

noimage.jpg

After the Toa returned the Ignika, they transformed into Turaga, and Jovan stayed behind to take leadership of the village of Voya Nui and watch over the mask. During the Great Cataclysm, when the landmass containing Voya Nui broke off the continent and rocketed to the surface of the BIONICLE Planet, Jovan was killed in the upheaval.

Karda Nui Has Matoran Too

Karda Nui is the birth place of the Toa Mata/Nuva/Phantoka/Mistika. It is also the place where most Matoran were born.

Solek:

Solek as a set.

Solek is an expert on the ancient legends of the Toa Mata (thanks to the former Av-Matoran leader Kirop) and was long ago the best friend of Takua. Kopaka in particular is his hero and he desires to be more like him. He even changed his armor color to white to reflect his idolization of Kopaka.

Solek was hiding with the remaining Av-Matoran population during the Brotherhood of Makuta’s attack on Karda Nui. After the Makuta Antroz, Vamprah, and Chirox were blinded by Toa Matoro’s use of the Kanohi Ignika, Solek and the other Av-Matoran launched small assault missions against them. However, the Makuta started using some of the Shadow Matoran as guides during the fight to compensate for their loss. During this battle, the Toa Nuva appeared, teleported there by Artakha to awaken Mata Nui. The Toa Nuva helped the Matoran drive away the Makuta, and realized that if a Matoran is riding them, they can share each other’s memories. After discovering that the Ignika fell into the swamp below after Matoro used it, the Toa split into two teams. Lewa, Kopaka, and Pohatu stayed with the Matoran to fight the Makuta, while Tahu, Gali, and Onua flew down to the swamp to retrieve the Mask of Life.

Solek possessed one of the six Keystones which have inscripted the instructions on how to wake Mata Nui, and he presented it to Kopaka after the Toa appeared in Karda Nui. Solek, along with Tanma and Photok, accompanied the Toa on their raid of the Shadow Leech Hive to destroy the Shadow Leeches. While there, he helped Kopaka fight and defeat Mutran as a distraction while the rest of the Matoran and Toa tried to find the Shadow Leech vats. During this battle, Solek discovered that he could create objects made of solid Light while in contact with Kopaka. The pair managed to freeze Mutran solid, but they were suddenly attacked and imprisoned by Antroz, Chirox, and Vamprah, and he, Tanma, and Photok were held captive by Chirox and Vamprah.

The three Matoran and Toa Nuva were able to escape and Toa Ignika brought down the hive using its abilty to weaken the living rock that held the hive together. Solek later participated in the furious battle against the Makuta. In the heat of this battle, Solek created a scoop of light to save a few falling Matoran friends. He, the Toa Nuva, Tanma, and Photok defeated and followed the retreating Makuta down into the Swamp of Secrets to help the other three Toa Nuva Mistika. Later, he went with Takanuva to round up all the Shadow Matoran, including a struggling Radiak.

Tanma:

Tanma was working with Gavla when Gavla was attacked by Chirox. He fled to their village, only to find that the Makuta had corrupted all of his fellow villagers. He fled to the other villages to warn them, but the other villages eventually fell.

Weeks after the attack, Tanma became the leader of the remaining Av-Matoran after Kirop, their past leader, had been transformed into a Shadow Matoran. Once all the surviving Av-Matoran from all the villages in Karda Nui had come together, Tanma directed them to hide in one of their underground shelters. While they were in the shelter, the Makuta bombarded it from above with Tridax Pods containing Shadow Leeches. During the attack, Tanma wished that Kirop, his good friend, was still there to lead the Av-Matoran. The Leeches couldn’t get into the shelter, and they quickly died due to their short life spans. Once the attack stopped, Tanma opened the hatch of the shelter to check to see if it was really over. He spotted not only the Makuta flying away, but he also saw a figure falling in the waterfall. Somehow he sensed that something big was about to happen and quickly ran back to the remaining Av-Matoran and told them to get down. Seconds later, light flooded through the room. Tanma had closed his eyes by reflex, and thus was not blinded. When he looked outside after the light, he noticed that the Makuta were completely blinded. He realized then that the Av-Matoran now had a chance to fight back, even if it would not do any good.

At one point, Tanma and several other Av-Matoran, including Photok and Solek, mounted a strike against the Makuta, who used Shadow Matoran as their pilots. Tanma was attacked by some Shadow Leeches, but fired a Light bolt which destroyed them. Suddenly, the Toa Nuva appeared in the air before them. Lewa then tried to capture a Shadow Leech, but Tanma prevented him from doing it, and accidentally connected to the Toa, sharing his memories of the past. Overwhelmed by the new arrivals, the Makuta then retreated. Tanma and the remaining Av-Matoran brought the Toa Nuva into the shelter, where they discussed the happenings of the past weeks. It was decided that Tahu, Gali, and Onua would go to the Swamp to find the Mask of Life, while the others stayed to help the Av-Matoran.

Later, Pohatu and Photok were lured in a trap and defeated by Chirox. Lewa and Kopaka, with Tanma and Solek, respectively, then attacked the Makuta. Lewa and Tanma were nearly defeated by Antroz, but Lewa used a cyclone to blow him away. When Kopaka and Solek were defeated, however, Lewa decided to escape, saying to Tanma they needed help from the other Toa Nuva.

While some of the Matoran connected with the Toa Nuva, Lewa created a cyclone which caused a Shadow Matoran spy, Kirop, to fall to the ground. The Toa Nuva quickly went to the stalactite where he had fallen and captured him. While Tanma and the Toa Nuva discussed a plan, Kirop woke up. Hearing all of this, he blasted through his prison with Shadow energy, and went off to the Shadow Leech Hive, believing that the Toa Nuva were going to destroy it. Kirop was tricked, and the Toa Nuva followed him to the hive.

A battle followed, which the Toa Ignika joined in. The group was defeated, and were taken hostage. Due to Pohatu’s quick work though, everyone was freed, and a bigger battle ensued, for the Toa Nuva had three keystones, the key to waking the Great Spirit. During the battle, the Makuta noted that, surprisingly, they were losing. Mutran ushered everyone down to the Swamp. Upon going himself, he was caught by the Toa Nuva and Av-Matoran. After forcing him to tell where the Makuta were headed, the Toa Nuva went down to the swamp, with Tanma and their other Av-Matoran partners to assist them. Later, he, Photok, and Solek joined with Takanuva to gather all of the Matoran in Karda Nui.

Photok:

Photok as a set.

Prior to the invasion of Karda Nui, Photok was best friends with Radiak. When the Makuta invaded, they transformed Radiak, who now frequently clashes with his old friend.

After the Toa Nuva arrived at Karda Nui, Radiak led Photok and Pohatu into a trap. Photok was hit with a shadow blast from Antroz. He, Pohatu, Kopaka, and Solek were later bound by the Makuta in chains of shadows, hanging from the ceiling of Karda Nui. Lewa and Tanma then arrived and rescued them. After that battle, Lewa shot down Kirop for target practice, and then Kopaka captured the unconscious Matoran. The three Toa Nuva and Matoran set up a plan to trick Kirop into leading them to the Shadow Leech Hive. Once inside, Photok, Pohatu, Lewa, Tanma, and Toa Ignika were exploring the hive, when the two Toa Nuva and Av-Matoran found that the Toa Ignika had been replaced by a massive worm creature. Unbeknown to the Toa and Matoran, it was actually an illusion made by Mutran. They therefore began attacking the Ignika. Angered, the mask began sucking the life out of the four heroes, and Photok was the first to notice. Pohatu then stopped the Ignika, and the Toa apologized for shooting at him. Seconds after, a power scream came from within the main part of the cave, causing the Toa to faint. When they woke up, the Toa and Matoran were separated, all held hostage by the Makuta. Pohatu then shared his Kakama Nuva mask power with the four Toa, and they rocketed out of the hive, shattering the Leech vats, rescuing the Matoran, and injuring Vamprah and Chirox too.

Later, the group snuck into the Makuta’s main base while the Makuta were destroying the remaining village, and engaged them when they returned. During that fight, Pohatu and Photok activated their speed powers and began injuring Antroz, going in tight circles around him. While a thousand hits were delivered every second, Icarax flew to the spot and used his gravity powers to make the Toa – Matoran pair and Makuta fall. While Antroz fell, antidermis leaking out, and blind, Pohatu tapped in Photok’s memories and found a spot where there was a stalagmite in the swamp. Painfully, he and Photok slammed through it, then were released because Icarax’s concentration was broken by the Toa Ignika. Once the battle was over, and the three Makuta headed to the swamp, the Toa surrounded Mutran and questioned him about where the Makuta were going. He revealed they were going to the Swamp of Secrets, and the Toa and Matoran followed.

Some time later, Takanuva met with Solek, Tanma, and Photok. Together, they subdued Radiak, who was harassing Takanuva, and set out to round up all of the Matoran.

Radiak:

Radiak as a set.

Radiak was an Av-Matoran renowned for his courage and warrior-like spirit. After the Makuta struck, he continued to fight for what he believed in. One day, while he went to repair a Lightvine, his Light was sucked from afar from the Makuta known as Vamprah, using his Avsa. Transformed into a Shadow Matoran, Radiak went off to the Makuta’s base, and was mutated by Mutran into a four-legged being, due to the fact that Mutran was moody at the time.

When Matoro used the Ignika and brought Mata Nui back to life, the resulting light blinded the Makuta. Unable to see, the remaining Av-Matoran proceeded to mount an offensive against the Makuta. Unwilling to let this be a major setback, the Makuta used Shadow Matoran pilots for their ‘eyes.’ Radiak quickly became the favored sight of Makuta Antroz. During one such battle, the Toa Nuva suddenly appeared. Even though confused, they aided the Av-Matoran, forcing the Makuta and Shadow Matoran into retreat.

Later on, while Pohatu and Photok were on guard duty, Radiak lured Pohatu and his former best friend, Photok, into a trap set by the Makuta, saying he had stolen the Makuta’s battle plans. This quickly led to another air-conflict, during which the Toa were captured. After they freed themselves, yet another conflict ensued, during which the Shadow Leech Hive was destroyed. Mutran, sensing a Makuta defeat, called his fellow brothers to retreat into the swamp, before retreating himself. Radiak followed Antroz into the swamp, preparing for the final battle.

After Antroz entered the Codrex, Radiak was left outside. When he stole the Jetrax T6, Kopaka left the Codrex in pursuit of Antroz, only to be stopped by Radiak. Takanuva emerged during the fight, and took over for Kopaka so he could continue his chase. During the fight, Radiak mocked Takanuva, calling him a “Toa of Twilight,” but instead of attacking him, Takanuva became more determined to find a cure for him.

Gavla:

The Gavla set.

Gavla was working with Tanma in adjusting ScareRahi to keep away flying Rahi when Makuta Chirox dropped a Tridax Pod, and a Shadow Leech infected her, draining her light. She then had a small conflict with Tanma, whose light was not drained, and flew off to the Makuta. Weeks past, during which other Matoran had their light drained, and the Makuta strengthened their hold on Karda Nui. One day, a white Toa donned the Mask of Life in Karda Nui and restored Mata Nui to life, blinding the three Makuta in the skies of Karda Nui.

In the coming days, the remaining Av-Matoran battled the blinded Makuta, who used Shadow Matoran as their ‘eyes’. Gavla became the preferred partner of the silent Makuta, Vamprah. During one of these battles, the Toa Nuva were teleported to Karda Nui, and then aided the Av-Matoran, forcing the Makuta into a retreat. While three of the Toa Nuva journeyed to the Swamp of Secrets, Lewa, Pohatu, and Kopaka stayed to help the Matoran battle the Makuta.

After the Toa Nuva freed themselves from a trap, Gavla and Vamprah looked for the Toa Nuva. It was Vamprah that found out that the Toa Nuva had found their third Keystone. A massive air-conflict ensued, during which Icarax was devolved back into muscle from his Antidermis, and the Makuta, with their Matoran riders, fled into the swamp, preparing for the final battle.

Kirop:

Kirop is the former leader of the Av-Matoran, he was present while the Av-Matoran colonized Karda Nui. During the Siege of the Stalactite Villages, he was able to tell the Matoran that they were facing the Makuta. He led a rescue mission on the second day, but only succeded in having his light drained. He has been transformed by Chirox to act as the blind Makuta’s eyes. Having once been the leader of the Av-Matoran, he knows everything about the resistance and uses this knowledge against them.

After Kirop was transformed, he kept a part of the Keystone in his possession as one of the duties of being Karda Nui’s leader. In an attempt by the Toa Nuva to get a hold of it, Lewa knocked him out of the sky with a gust of wind. Kopaka quickly got to the place where he fell and he was imprisoned by them in a Matoran shelter.

The Toa Nuva then purposely allowed him to overhear a fabricated story about how they had discovered a method of destroying all of the Makuta’s Shadow Leeches, hoping he would flee to the Shadow Leech Hive and lead them there. He soon departed and unknowingly led them and their Matoran partners to the hive, where Toa Ignika joined them.

Later, after the hive was destroyed by Toa Ignika, Mutran blamed Kirop for the destruction of the hive and threatened to kill him, but Antroz intervened and told him that, as long as they still fought the war, it was important not to get rid of anyone on their side.

Vican:

Vican.png

Vican originally lived on an island situated in a lake in the center of the Southern Continent.

Vican willingly became the first Shadow Matoran because he dreamed of having more in life, and did not care about the means by which that happened. He acted as a lab assistant to Mutran, who also mutated him into his current form. Vican remained loyal to Mutran in the hope that he would be returned to his former form for serving well. He assisted Mutran in guarding the Hive where the Shadow Leeches formerly were kept.

Vican was working on kicking a failed Rahi experiment out of a window by order when Vamprah entered the hive after the Makuta’s first defeat by the Phantoka Toa Nuva. After a negotiation between the four Makuta, Antroz, Chirox, Vamprah, and Mutran was held, Vican was chosen to be the one to fly to Destral and summon Makuta Icarax.

Vican later rode on a half-Matoran and half-Rahi creature and flew to Destral, where he encountered Rahkshi and Visorak. Upon showing the creatures a Tablet of Transit, Vican was welcomed into the fortress, where he learned that Icarax had taken over the throne of Makuta Teridax. After a moment of interrogation by the Makuta, Vican stated Antroz’s summon. He then returned to Karda Nui.

Later, in a battle between the Phantoka Toa Nuva and Makuta, Vican saved Mutran from falling after the Makuta unleashed a powerful blast of Shadow by catching him whilst on the mutated flying Rahi. He then carried out Mutran’s orders to retreat to the Swamp of Secrets.

Eventually, Vican encountered a Klakk that Mutran had created in Karda Nui, and the Rahi’s sonic scream broke the mental barrier preventing his Light from regenerating. A Le-Matoran again, Vican encountered Takanuva and attempted to convince him he had found a cure for the Shadow Matoran.

Vultraz:

Vultraz on his Skyfighter.

Whilst living on the Tren Krom Peninsula, Vultraz gained a reputation as a criminal. He killed Mazeka’s mentor to steal his research, and later murdered an entire village to obtain a rare gem. These actions led Mazeka to wish to bring him to justice, and the two clashed many times over it. In one such fight, Mazeka managed to kick Vultraz over a cliff, seemingly to his death. He survived the fall, thanks to some Rahi that Makuta Gorast had sent to the bottom of the cliff. Vultraz did not, however, escape without being incredibly damaged. When he finally awoke afterwards, he found himself bound to a stone slab and being tended to by Rahi. Gorast chose then to reveal herself to him, and also pointed out that she had rebuilt him so he would no longer be recognizable and better suit her needs. She then tasked him with hunting down the Matoran Krakua.

Vultraz tracked down Krakua’s village, and used a device that amplified sound, knocking out several De-Matoran. He then fought Mazeka, who recognized him by his fighting style.

Sometime later, Vultraz acted as a spy for Gorast, and specialized in spying on Matoran who had the potential of rebelling against the Brotherhood of Makuta.

Vultraz was the second Matoran to be transformed into a Shadow Matoran by a Shadow Leech, and was transformed by Icarax. Shortly afterwards, he discovered a side entrance to Karda Nui in its western wall, but did not tell the Brotherhood of his discovery. When Gorast learned of this, she punished him by sending the Shadow Matoran flying into Mutran’s laboratory in Destral.

Vultraz is now a faithful servant of Makuta Icarax, who prevented Gorast from killing him. When Icarax left for Karda Nui, Vultraz followed him to try and help him take control of the Brotherhood of Makuta.

Mahri Matoran/ Rarest of Them All

Mahri Matoran are the least and so no many are there. They all work together to make sure that Mahri Nui is safe. With the help of the Toa Mahri.

Sarda:

Where Sarda originally lived remains a mystery, but it is known that there he was best friends with Lesovikk and Idris. Some time after, their local Turaga went mad and shipped the entire Matoran population to Karzahni, including him and Idris.

In his realm, Karzahni rebuilt Sarda and later sent him to the Southern Continent. When the Great Cataclysm struck, it sent the portion of land where Sarda lived to the Endless Ocean, a long way south of Mata Nui.

Years after that, the Matoran there built another village and named it Mahri Nui, but it broke off and sank into the dark waters of The Pit. There, Sarda was exposed to the mutagen in the water long enough to be reverted to his original form, before Karzahni rebuilt him.

Sarda, along with Defilak, Gar, and Idris, was part of an underwater expedition to the depths of The Pit, only to be captured by the Barraki. He was thrown into a school of Takea sharks by Pridak, and was saved by Lesovikk. During a fight with Karzahni, Sarda was exposed to the waters of The Pit, due to his air bubble running out, turning him into a water-breather. Later, he and Lesovikk found Idris, who was also mutated in the same way, and let her join the group. As the three of them were about to attack Karzahni, the Toa got trapped in a vision sent by the evil tyrant. The two Matoran rigged a makeshift trap and lured Karzahni to it. Lesovikk, free from the vision, saved the Matoran, making Karzahni spring the trap. After Lesovikk repaired an air-breathing device to a water-breathing one, he told Idris to take it and tell the Matoran about Lesovikk. He later told the Toa he would go with him, as he felt the Toa could need a friend. Lesovikk agreed, and both swam away from there into the ocean. Since then, the two of them have begun hunting escaped Pit prisoners, though they are not working together with Hydraxon to do so.

Kyhrex:

Noimage.jpg

A Ga-Matoran sentinel, Kyrehx was the first Matoran to find the Mask of Life. While attempting to bring the mask to her teacher, Kyrehx was not aware that she had been cursed by the mask and found herself attacked by seaweed. She was rescued from the plants by Dekar, and after the encounter, she quickly gave the mask to him. Later, she was captured by Carapar, who was being hypnotized by Takadox, and was brought to Takadox’s cave. Inside his cave, Takadox questioned Kyrehx about the mask. When he found out that the Ignika was no longer with her, Takadox ordered Carapar to release Kyrehx back to Mahri Nui, presumably to win the trust of the Mahri Nui Matoran. Kyrehx also helped herd the citizens of Mahri Nui into their homes when the giant Venom Eel attacked. She and the other Mahri Nui Matoran were sent to Voya Nui, led by the Toa Mahri. Axonn took her to the Nui Caves along with the rest of the Matoran. She has since returned to the Southern Continent.

Idris:

Where Idris originally lived remains a mystery, but it is known that there she was best friends with Lesovikk and Sarda. Some time after, their local Turaga went mad and shipped the entire Matoran population to Karzahni, including Sarda and Idris.

In his realm, Karzahni rebuilt Idris and later sent her to the Southern Continent. When the Great Cataclysm struck, it sent the portion of land where Idris lived to the Endless Ocean, a long way south of Mata Nui.

Years after that, the Matoran there built another village and named it Mahri Nui, but it broke off and sank into the dark waters of The Pit. There, Idris was exposed to the mutagen in the water long enough to be reverted to her original form, before Karzahni rebuilt her.

Idris, along with Defilak and Sarda, led an underwater expedition to the depths of The Pit, only to be captured and brought to a cave by the Barraki. She was abandoned there along with Gar, though they managed to escape and reach Mahri Nui.

Later, Lesovikk and Sarda came across Idris outside Mahri Nui. Mutated after her air bubble went out, they recruited her to help them. She then watched Teridax and Karzahni battle. As the three of them were about to attack Karzahni, the Toa got trapped in a vision sent by the evil tyrant. The two Matoran rigged a makeshift trap and lured Karzahni to it. Lesovikk, free from the vision, saved the Matoran, making Karzahni spring the trap. After Lesovikk repaired Ehlek’s air-breathing device, Sarda told her to take it. As arguing wouldn’t help her, she took it and swam away.

As Idris traveled up The Cord with the other remaining Mahri Nui residents, they were ambushed by the mutated Piraka. During the ambush, Zaktan attempted to kill Idris by strangling her, but his attempt failed when Idris stunned the Piraka using her Electro-Blades. She has since returned to the Southern Continent.

Defilak:

Defilak was once a trader hailing from an unknown island. During one of his journeys, he went to Metru Nui and picked up the Chutespeak slang of the local Le-Matoran. Eventually, he was sent to Karzahni to be “fixed”, and was then sent to the Southern Continent. He was on Voya Nui when it broke off of the continent, and was later on the rock that broke off of Voya Nui and would become Mahri Nui.

It was his turn to lead the Mahri Nui Matoran when the Mask of Life appeared. He invented and built a submarine modeled after a Takea shark for a Po-Matoran. He took a crew of four, Sarda, Idris, Gar, and himself, to find out just what was preying on the Matoran. They were attacked by a swarm of Takea sharks after the safe hour ended, and spotted Pridak. Pridak captured them and threw Sarda to the sharks. Defilak escaped, and after learning about the Barraki, Defilak and Pridak discovered the giant Venom Eel. Defilak rescued Gar and Idris, and saved Mahri Nui from falling victim to a giant Venom Eel by smashing all its Lightstones. In doing so, they managed to make the eel look for other prey.

When the Toa Mahri arrived, Defilak initially distrusted them at first, ordering a massive attack on first Matoro and then his teammates, but eventually warmed up to them. Defilak gave them the name “Toa Mahri”, telling them that if they were going to help the Mahri Nui Matoran, “We would be honored to call you Toa Mahri.

When the Toa Mahri were forced to destroy The Cord and crush Mahri Nui, they took the Mahri Nui Matoran to the caves under Voya Nui for safe travel in their return trip to the Southern Continent.

Dekar:

Dekar in Creeps from the Deep.Dekar as a set.

Dekar was initially from the same island as Sarda and Idris. After Lesovikk and his team failed to defeat a tribe of wandering Zyglak, their Turaga sent the Matoran to Karzahni. There, Dekar was rebuilt into a twisted form by Karzahni and relocated to the Southern Continent. During the Great Cataclysm, Dekar was on the land mass that broke off and became Voya Nui.

Several hundred years later, a village that had been built on Voya Nui broke off into the sea, taking Dekar and many other Matoran along with it. The Matoran were briefly exposed to the mutagen in the water, being restored to their former forms. The village landed in a a field of Airweed, and was surrounded by an air bubble, protecting the Matoran from mutating further into water breathers. They named the village Mahri Nui.

After the Ignika fell into the sea, Dekar was in Mahri Nui when Kyrehx was attacked by the growing plants around her, saved her, and then both went into hiding in a near building. There she gave Dekar the mask she had found outside Mahri Nui, not knowing it was the Mask of Life. Dekar tried to take it to the Matoran Council, but on his way found that anything he tried to kill instantly recovered from it’s wounds. He decided that the mask needed to be destroyed because of its curses. When he attempted to do so, the mask retaliated, creating a giant Venom Eel. After recovering, Dekar ‘spoke’ with the mask, learning about its great and important history and task. Four of the Barraki and Brutaka attempted to take the mask back.

Dekar raised his hand to destroy it, there was a blinding flash of light and Pridak snatched it when he recovered. After Dekar left the cave, the Mask of Life sensed his weakening life energy and transformed him into Hydraxon, the late jailer of The Pit. If not, Dekar would have drowned or mutated.

Dekar’s memories still lie dormant in the new Hydraxon, but he has no knowledge of his former life as a Matoran.

Gar:

noimage.jpg

Gar is an Onu-Matoran from Mahri Nui and Defilak’s best friend. Gar went on the sea expedition with Sarda, Idris, and Defilak to discover what was preying on the Mahri Nui Matoran. The submarine was torn apart by Takea Sharks as Gar and the other Matoran entered Pridak’s territory.

After a brief interrogation by Pridak, he escaped with Idris. They swam to the Fields of Airweed, but found them infested by Keras Crabs. Both would have died had not Defilak pulled them into Mahri Nui. Gar joined with the others to smash the city’s Lightstones to drive off the massive Venom Eel attacking.

Gar and the other Mahri Nui Matoran were sent to Voya Nui, led by the Toa Mahri. Axonn took him and the other Matoran to the Nui Caves to survive the descent. Gar has since returned to the Southern Continent.

Voya Nui Matorans/ The Six Outlaws(and More)

The Matoran of the rugged island of Voya Nui have seen their home invaded by the evil Piraka and many of their friends enslaved. Now they have banded together to take back their land however they can.

Balta:

Balta as seen in the Piraka Online Animations.Balta in Matoran Escape.

Balta, like the other Voya Nui Matoran, long ago had some type of injury and was sent to Karzahni to be repaired. He was rebuilt, but in a new, weakened form. To compensate for this, he received a pair of Repellers. He was then sent to the Southern Continent to spend the rest of his days. However, during the Great Cataclysm, a chunk of the Continent broke off into what is now Voya Nui, carrying Balta and many other Matoran to out of the continent’s dome and into the sea above.

About 1,000 years later, Balta was scouting for food, when he found an open, empty Toa Canister and footprints in the ground that led to one of the six Piraka named Hakann. While Balta returned to the village with him, he blasted a herd of Kikanalo. Sometime later, Balta was watching Avak work on what he thought would be a solution to Voya Nui’s water problem, but was really the construction of Zamor Launchers that would be used to enslave the Matoran. Balta interrupted his work, asking what they were, and Avak, annoyed, encased the Matoran in a prison.

The Piraka later had Piruk and Balta oversee teams assigned to dig vast reservoirs to collect lava from Mount Valmai. Afterwards, Garan, Kazi, Velika, Piruk, and Balta all met up in a cave, while Dalu watched outside for the Piraka. Balta and Velika examined a stolen Zamor Launcher from Avak and concluded that it was a launching apparatus and a weapon to be used, which led them all to believe these six beings were Toa. Garan sent Balta to find Dalu, only to return to inform them that he had found Dalu collapsed from an earlier fight with Avak. While Dalu recovered, Garan and Balta followed Avak and Hakann, and overheard them discussing that the monster they defeated was actually manufactured by the Piraka to convince that the Matoran that they were Toa.

When the Voya Nui Resistance Team next gathered, Piruk reported that another Ta-Matoran, Dezalk, had gathered all of the Matoran in the Matoran Cliff Village. The team decided to follow, but by the time they arrived all the Matoran were hard at work draining the lava from Mount Valmai, enslaved by the Piraka to look for something under the lava pools. The team decided that it was time to strike back, and Balta went on his own to steal Vezok’s Zamor Sphere to look at its contents. However, Vezok caught him and pursued Balta as he fled. On Zaktan’s orders, Thok also joined the pursuit. Balta managed to pass the sphere onto the other members off the team while he drove Thok and Vezok away from the site. Balta ran into a cave after sending Thok sprawling after the use of his Repellers. Vezok then placed a large rock in front of the cave entrance, trapping Balta inside.

Balta began to lose consciousness, but then was freed by a mysterious figure who told him to return to the other Matoran and prevent them from attacking the Toa Nuva. Balta managed managed to arrive in time, but not before Gali had her sight enhanced to the point she was driven mad. Balta did, however, manage to convince Garan that these were real Toa.

The Toa Nuva related all the information about why the Piraka were on Voya Nui, to steal the legendary Ignika, Mask of Life. The Toa Nuva and the Voya Nui Resistance Team decided to raid the Piraka Stronghold to retrieve their Kanohi Nuva and Toa Tools. They succeeded, and then proceeded to the center off the stronghold, where the Piraka were fighting amongst themselves. The Toa Nuva and Matoran attempted to enter the fray and stop the Piraka, but were all struck down by a single blow from Brutaka. Balta, Piruk, Velika and Kazi were all dumped outside the Piraka Stronghold by Brutaka, while Dalu escaped and Garan kept for interrogation by Vezok. When Balta gained consciousness, he noticed a Doom Viper slithering towards him and his friends. Just then, Brutaka used his Olmak to send the Rahi to the lava of Mount Valmai, saving the Matoran out of habit.

Balta and the others managed to escape and re-group without Dalu, the resistance also met up with the new Toa Inika who have just arrived and turned into Toa after escaping from Karzahni and battling Vezok, who quickly escaped after being captured. The resistance related all that was told by the Toa Nuva about the Mask of Life and the possible fate of the Toa Nuva. Balta travelled with Kazi, Matoro and Hewkii to where Axonn was staying, only to find him battered and badly injured by Brutaka. Axonn told them to go as Brutaka would reveal the location of the Mask of Life to the Piraka.

The resistance team later met the Toa Inika, who instructed the Matoran to search for the imprisoned Toa Nuva. Balta found an open door in the lower levels of the Piraka Stronghold, where the Toa Nuva were imprisoned. Once inside, they realized that the Toa Nuva had been enslaved by Antidermis, and were being drained of their Elemental Energy. They managed to free the Matoran using Energized Protodermis-filled Zamor spheres to cure them of the effects of Antidermis. As they all ventured to the higher levels of the stronghold to retrieve the Toa’s Kanohi, the resistance team informed them of the arrival of the Toa Inika. Upon arriving, the Toa Nuva and the Matoran discovered that most of the stronghold had been destroyed. Axonn then took charge of watching over the Matoran out of fear of the Piraka, who were free on the island.

Soon afterwards, Axonn summoned the entire Matoran population of Voya Nui, leading them into the Nui Caves in preparation for the descent of Voya Nui to the Southern Continent after the Toa Mahri destroyed The Cord. Balta is now currently with the other Matoran of Voya Nui, on the Southern Continent, renewing their lives there.

Kazi:

Kazi in Matoran Escape.

Kazi, like the other Voya Nui Matoran, was sent to Karzahni for repair, due to his nature as a poor worker. However, Karzahni’s poor rebuilding skills resulted in Kazi’s form being smaller and weaker. To compensate for his failures, Karzahni armed Kazi and the other Matoran with weapons, bestowing Kazi with a pair of Echo Forks. From there, he was sent to the Southern Continent, to a small village near it’s center. Around 1000 years ago, an earthquake, triggered by the Great Cataclysm, caused a section of the continent to break off. This fragment shot upwards out of the continent’s dome and into the ocean above, creating the island of Voya Nui.

After the traumatic events of the Great Cataclysm, Kazi started keeping a journal of his personal thoughts on the daily struggle for survival on the island. Along with the other Matoran of Voya Nui, Kazi survived at least two hurricanes. During one such storm, Kazi was informed by Piruk that Dalu had left the Matoran’s cave shelter to see the hurricane. Kazi promptly went after Dalu, saving her from a falling tree before being rescued from a deadly fall himself by Axonn.

When the Piraka invaded Voya Nui, Kazi was appointed foreman of one of two groups of Matoran assigned to drill holes in the sides of Mount Valmai to allow the lava to flow out. Later, before the formal creation of the Voya Nui Resistance Team, Kazi helped Garan strike the first blow against the Piraka by stealing a Zamor Launcher that Piraka Avak had just finished crafting. Kazi was not among the Matoran who went to the village when the Piraka launched their attack, enslaving most of the population. It was also Kazi who first noticed the arrival of the Toa Nuva, though like the other Matoran, he didn’t know what to think about them, believing them to be another possible threat.

During the Voya Nui Resistance Team’s brief clash with the Toa Nuva (whom they mistook for more false “Toa”), Kazi was flash-frozen by Kopaka. He was later unfrozen, and allied with the Toa Nuva to try and get their equipment back, and defeat the Piraka. Though they caught the Piraka off guard, all six Matoran and Toa Nuva were incapacitaed by a disgraced Order of Mata Nui member named Brutaka. Kazi and the other Matoran later came to, and helped rescue Garan from the Chamber of Truth, and escaped the Piraka Stronghold. When the Resistance Team met up with the new Toa Inika, Kazi and Balta led Hewkii and Matoro to meet Axonn. Along the way, Kazi and Balta startled each other by simultaneously revealing that they knew of Axonn.

As the Toa Inika and Piraka waged a desperate race to the Kanohi Ignika, the Mask of Life, the Voya Nui Resistance Team searched the Piraka Stronghold for the missing Toa Nuva. Working together, Kazi and Garan blasted down the door to the Toa Nuva’s prison chamber. Soon after, Axonn summoned the entire Matoran population of Voya Nui and led them into the Nui Caves in preparation for the descent of Voya Nui to the Southern Continent. Kazi is currently still with the other Matoran of Voya Nui, back on the Southern Continent.

Dalu:

Dalu in Matoran Escape.

Long ago, Dalu received some sort of injury and was sent to Karzahni to be repaired. She was rebuilt, but in a new, weakened form. To compensate for this, she received a pair of Chargers. Then she was sent to the Southern Continent to spend the rest of her life.

During the Great Cataclysm, a portion of the continent broke off into what is now Voya Nui, carrying Dalu and many other Matoran to a hard new life, which was difficult due to scarce resources.

When the Piraka arrived on Voya Nui, pretending to be Toa to the Matoran, Dalu tried to consult with “Toa” Vezok about her anger. To her shock, Vezok suggested to her to kill the Turaga and take over the Matoran. When Dalu informed Vezok about the fact that their Turaga, Jovan, had died, Vezok replied stating that he liked them dead due to an argument earlier in his life.

Shortly after, Dalu, along with five other Matoran, sensed that something was incredibly wrong with the “Toa”. They found the Piraka ordering the Matoran to do meaningless jobs such as constructing a fortress and draining lava from Mount Valmai. Their suspicion was confirmed when Garan overheard a conversation between the Piraka and realized that they were not Toa at all. The Voya Nui Resistance Team was then formed, consisting of Garan, Balta, Velika, Kazi, Piruk and Dalu herself. They hid away in a cavern while the rest of the Matoran colony was enslaved by the Piraka using Zamor Spheres.

Dalu reported the disaster to the rest of the team, but they were too late by the time they arrived at the scene. Luckily, they were able to follow Dezalk, who led the team into Mount Valmai where they were able to witness the enslaved Matoran draining lava from the volcano.

When the Toa Nuva arrived to find the Ignika, Dalu, along with the others remained hidden, fearing another group of Piraka. The Toa Nuva were then defeated by the Piraka and their masks and tools stripped away. When the Piraka carried the Toa to be dumped into the Volcano, a sudden eruption caused the Piraka to drop the Toa. The Toa managed to escape, and were then confronted by the resistance team except for Balta, who had gone missing. The team believed the Toa Nuva to be imposters, and a fight occurred. During the fight, Dalu used her Chargers to drive Gali insane. Axonn intervened and the effects were reversed. The fight ceased after Balta appeared, stating that the Toa Nuva were indeed Toa and not more menace.

Working together, the Toa and Matoran stormed the Piraka fortress, retrieving their masks and tools. The team fought against the Piraka, but was defeated by one swipe of a sword from the suddenly appearing Brutaka. The Toa were held as prisoners in a cavern which drained their powers continuously, while the Matoran were held captive in the Chamber of Truth.

Later, Dalu managed to escape the Piraka’s captivity and ran up a hill. There, she was confronted by the Piraka Zaktan and Hakann. She was in the process of being taken back when the two Piraka got into an argument, and fought. Zaktan managed to claim victory in the fight after crushing Hakann under a boulder, and while Zaktan climbed to the Antidermis vat, Dalu took her chance and ran back to her friends.

Then, Dalu and the rest of her team, who managed to escape, met up with the new Toa Inika. They shared details with each other, and were given Zamor Launchers made by Velika. The group was then split up, with Dalu going along with Jaller and Hahli to free the enslaved Matoran using Zamor Spheres filled with Energized Protodermis.

The group was then reunited at the Piraka fortress, where a large battle broke out. While the Toa fought against the Piraka, Dalu and her team rushed to free the Toa Nuva. After a period of searching, the team was successful and freed the six Toa. The Toa Nuva and the Resistance Team then met up with Axonn and the Toa Inika, who managed to retrieve the Mask of Life before the Piraka in the Chamber of Life, although it had since plunged into the sea and down towards Mahri Nui and The Pit. The Toa and Order of Mata Nui member split up, with the Toa Inika proceeding to the waters beneath while the Toa Nuva returned to Metru Nui and began to prepare the universe for Mata Nui’s reawakening and Axonn remaining behind to guard and protect the Matoran.

After the efforts of the Toa Inika (now Toa Mahri), The Cord, a stone cord which held Voya Nui anchored to its location, was broken. As a result, Voya Nui plunged down into the sea with the Matoran on it, who had been reunited with the Matoran of Mahri Nui, hiding with Axonn in the Nui Caves of Voya Nui. She has since returned to the Southern Continent.

Piruk:

Piruk in Matoran Escape.

Long ago he was sent to the realm of Karzahni along with hundreds of other Matoran. He looked like all other Matoran but he was rebuilt, and since these Matoran were weaker after being rebuilt, due to Karzahni’s shoddy repair skills, they were given tools for defense. Piruk was given Shredder Claws. After that, Karzahni sent him to the BIONICLE Mainland, but during the Great Cataclysm, he was sent hurtling to the surface on the chunk of land that would become Voya Nui.

Piruk spent 1,000 years with the others fighting for every day of survival before he found Zaktan’s canister washed up on the beach. The Piraka did nothing to help the Matoran’s poor nerves with his cold voice and strange, shifting body, and Piruk ran away, telling the Piraka he would get someone to help. As the Piraka took over the island, Piruk was then assigned with Balta to oversee teams digging out reservoirs to collect lava. After all but six of the Matoran had been enslaved, the newly formed resistance team decided on sending Piruk into the Piraka Stronghold where he witnessed Zaktan in conversation with the contents of the Crystal Vat and then Zaktan attacking Avak who disturbed him. Piruk returned to the group’s hideout with this disturbing information. The Resistance Team then stole a Zamor Sphere from Vezok. While the group was hiding waiting for Balta to return with the Zamor, they noticed the flashes of Ice and Fire which would soon be revealed as the Toa Nuva fighting the Piraka. The Resistance team, without Balta, then did battle with the Toa Nuva whom they did not trust until Balta arrived and stopped the fighting. The Toa and Matoran then joined forces and headed for the Piraka Stronghold. Outside Tahu tried to burn the lock on the back door, when Piruk saw Reidak coming. The others hid while Lewa taunted Reidak until he accidentally punched the door down. Reidak ran inside and the group followed. Using their abilities the group reclaimed the Toa’s Kanohi Nuva and Tools. They then burst into the virus chamber where the Brutaka and five Piraka were. Brutaka then brought down all twelve heroes in a single attack, strengthened by the power of the Antidermis.

Piruk was interrogated with the others in the Chamber of Truth. They managed to escape and met up with the new Toa Inika. Together, they split up and headed in three teams to cure the infected Matoran of the Antidermis virus. Piruk went with Velika, Kongu, and Nuparu. They were successful in infiltrating the stronghold, and met up inside. When the Piraka and Brutaka attacked again, this time the Voya Nui Resistance Team separated and began to search for the Toa Nuva. The Matoran found the Toa Nuva under the stronghold and freed them.

He is also known to own a pet Desert Burnak, which was taken by him to the Nui Caves in order to survive the island’s descent.

Velika:

Velika in Matoran Escape.

Velika, like the other Matoran of Voya Nui, was a Matoran whom, for one reason or another, was sent to Karzahni to be repaired. He was rebuilt, but in a new, weakened form. To compensate for this, the Karzahni bestowed him with a pair of Power Carvers. Nevertheless, Karzahni remained disgusted with his failure to properly repair Matoran, and sent Velika with other similarly “fixed” Matoran to the distant land of Voya Nui, which at the time was a landlocked region of the Southern Continent.

Velika lived for 1,000 years on Voya Nui, enduring the endless hardships in the struggle for survival, before the arrival of six Toa Canisters bearing the menacing Piraka. He, like five others on his island, was suspicious of these newcomers who claimed to be Toa. The six joined together as the Voya Nui Resistance Team, and they successfully remained free after the Piraka ambushed and enslaved the rest of the Matoran population with their Zamor Launchers.

An early mission of the Resistance Team involved the theft of a Zamor Sphere from Vezok. While the group hid, waiting for Balta to return with the Zamor, they noticed the flashes of Ice and Fire, which would soon be revealed as the skirmish between the Toa Nuva and the Piraka. The Resistance team, sans Balta, encountered the newcomers only after their tools and Kanohi Nuva had been taken, and trusted them no more than the Piraka, since they had neither seen nor heard of Toa Nuva before and had given up hope of salvation at the hands of Toa. They did battle with the Toa Nuva before Balta arrived, bringing news that the six Toa Nuva were in fact friends.

The Toa and Matoran then joined forces and headed for the Piraka Stronghold. Outside, Tahu tried to burn the lock on the back door, when Piruk saw Reidak coming. The others remained hidden while Lewa taunted Reidak, inciting the ebon-armored Piraka until he accidentally punched the door down. Reidak ran inside to warn his fellow Piraka of the now unhindered Toa Nuva and Matoran invaders, and the group followed. They were able to recover the Toa Nuva’s Kanohi Nuva and Toa Tools before entering the Antidermis chamber to challenge the Piraka once more. However, the Matoran and the Toa Nuva fell at the hands of the Piraka’s new ally, Brutaka.

Velika was interrogated with the others in the Chamber of Truth. They managed to escape, and met up with the new Toa Inika. Together, they split up and headed in three teams to cure the infected Matoran of the Antidermis virus, taking Velika’s suggestion of using Energized Protodermis and the Zamor launchers he had manufactured to accomplish this feat. Velika went with Garan, Kongu, and Nuparu. Velika helped Nuparu discover the weakness of the Nektann guarding the stronghold, allowing their team to successfully infiltrate it and meet up with the other teams inside. When the Piraka and Brutaka attacked again, the Voya Nui Resistance Team separated from the Toa Inika and began to search for the Toa Nuva. They finally found and freed the Toa Nuva just after the final battle between Vezon and the Inika. The Toa exchanged farewells before both teams finally left for different locations: The Toa Nuva to Metru Nui, where Axonn had told them they would find further instructions, and the Toa Inika down The Cord to deliver the Ignika to the place it needed to be used to save the life of Mata Nui.

Shortly afterwards, Axonn gathered the Matoran of Voya Nui in the Nui Caves to survive Voya Nui’s descent once the Toa Mahri destroyed The Cord holding it up. They were also joined by the Matoran of Mahri Nui, who had been gathered by the Toa Mahri and taken up The Cord. Velika and his friends were able to survive the return to the Southern Continent safely.

Garan:

Many centuries before the Voya Nui residents arrived on where they are, they were sent to Karzahni. It was there that Karzahni “fixed” Garan and many others from stronger bodies, to weaker forms.

As compensation, Karzahni gave those Matoran weapons, and Garan got Pulse Bolt Generators. Garan and the other Matoran were sent to the Southern Continent, but when the Great Cataclysm occurred, an earthquake caused the portion of the island that would later become Voya Nui to break off and float away, killing Turaga Jovan and many Matoran in the process.

Garan was one of the first Matoran to see the Piraka arrive on Voya Nui when he saw Thok’s canister float ashore. He claimed to be a Toa, and Garan believed him. However, Thok and the other “Toa” ordered the Matoran to do meaningless tasks like draining the Lake of Lava. Later, Hakann and Avak, who had noticed that the Matoran were growing suspicious, created a creature composed of Lava and Stone and made it attack the Matoran. They then “defended” the Matoran from the threat. However, Garan and Balta followed them as they left the village and overheard them talking about how they had deceived the Matoran. Garan gathered together a group of Matoran to figure out what the so-called “Toa” were up to.

They learned that the Piraka had come to steal a powerful mask. However, before they could do anything, the Piraka attacked the Matoran Cliff Village using Zamor Spheres, quickly taking control of every Matoran but the Resistance Team. They discovered the Piraka were using the Matoran to drain the lava from Mount Valmai, in an attempt to find the Kanohi Ignika.

The Matoran decided to strike back against the Piraka, and Balta was able to steal one of the Zamor Spheres. However, Thok and Vezok had followed him, and Balta went to keep them distracted while Garan and the others fled with the Sphere. While waiting for Balta to return, they encountered the Toa Nuva, whose masks and tools had been stolen by the Piraka. However, the Matoran, thinking the Toa Nuva might be allies of the Piraka, attacked them.

Fortunately, Balta, who had been rescued by Axonn, arrived in time to stop the battle. Once they had decided they were allies, the Toa Nuva and the Resistance Team planned to attack the Piraka Stronghold and recover the Toa’s lost masks and tools. They managed to get inside, but were defeated by Brutaka.

Garan, along with the other members of the Resistance Team, was held for interrogation by Vezok in the Chamber of Truth. They, however, all escaped. Later, they met the Toa Inika and stormed the Stronghold. As the Inika battled the Piraka, the Matoran searched for the Toa Nuva. During this, Garan found a set of tablets that told him that Mahri Nui, a part of Voya Nui that broke off long ago and sank beneath the waves, still existed at the bottom of the ocean. Later, the Matoran found the Toa Nuva underneath the Stronghold and freed them.

The Matoran then began to rebuild their homes after the Piraka incident. During this time, Garan became anxious to search underwater for Mahri Nui and his old friends, but was convinced by Axonn to remain on Voya Nui. Shortly afterwards, the Matoran were led into the Nui Caves below Voya Nui by Axonn for protection after the Toa Mahri cut The Cord keeping Voya Nui afloat. The Matoran have since been returned to the Southern Continent.

Dezalk:

Dezalk is a Ta-Matoran who resides on the Southern Continent. After the Great Cataclysm, he was amongst the Matoran to be shot out of the continent’s dome and into the sea above, creating the island of Voya Nui.

When the Piraka arrived on Voya Nui, Dezalk was the first Matoran to be exposed to the effects of Antidermis. The Piraka used Dezalk to betray the other Matoran, having him tell them to go to their fortress. All the Matoran were then enslaved as a result, with only the members of the Resistance Team escaping. Dezalk, along with the other Matoran, was freed from the Piraka’s control by the Toa Inika. After being returned to the Southern Continent, he now is helping the other Matoran rebuild Voya Nui.

Matorans of Mata Nui And Metru Nui

Matoran villagers of Mata Nui live and work in six villages around the island. Some of them are lucky enough to become Toa.

Jaller:

https://i0.wp.com/www.mpimages.net/mp/compressed/promotional/Bionicle-0506Jaller.jpg

Jaller was one of the first Matoran to encounter Toa Tahu. They found him while in the Charred Forest, inside a Rahi trap. Tahu cut it easily and turned to the Matoran. Jaller and his team almost attacked Tahu when Vakama stepped forward, informing them who the stranger was.

He was responsible for making Takua a member of the Ta-Koro Guard before the Chronicler went to Ko-Koro. The reason was for Takua to find out what happened to some of his guards which recently disappeared while in Ko-Koro. His worst fears were confirmed when Takua returned, informing him that his guards had been taken by Makuta. Later, he also rescued Takua and his company during the Rahi attack on Kini-Nui, by bringing the aid of the Ta-Matoran Guard to help fight the Rahi.

Jaller became Captain of the Guard of Ta-Koro and the goalie in the Ta-Koro Kolhii team. His athletic ability, devotion to his duty, and no-nonsense manner made him the logical choice to be the right hand of Turaga Vakama. He is loyal to all Matoran and Toa, and did his work diligently, leading the Guard to protect all of Mata Nui. He secretly wished to travel Mata Nui, but understood that he shouldn’t and restrained himself.

Takua:

Takua after being forced into a Matoran Sphere.Takua on his search for the Mask of Light.

Takua was originally from the Av-Matoran homeland. He was best friends with Solek.

Takua was among the Av-Matoran who colonized Karda Nui, during which he once talked with Gali and showed his amazement at their skills.

Takua later returned to his original homeland. He was relocated to Metru Nui by the Order of Mata Nui during the Time Slip disguised as a Ta-Matoran, though, due to his lackluster amount of control, his disguise was a poor one. He was the only Av-Matoran placed on Metru Nui. Not much else is known about his history before Metru Nui.

A simple toolmaker in Ta-Metru, Takua also ran a small business in his home (Takua’s Trade Goods), offering souvenirs from other Metru that he had picked up on his travels, which he often did when he was assigned to do work. This habit often attracted a lot of attention from the Vahki squads. A running joke in Ta-Metru was that an entire squad was assigned just to keep watch on Takua.

Sometime during his years on Metru Nui his original mask was damaged and replaced with a Pakari. It never fit very well and it turned blue when worn, as it hadn’t been locked as one color like his previous mask.

Along with all of the Matoran in Metru Nui, Takua was cast into a slumber by Teridax and later rescued and brought to Mata Nui by the Toa Metru.

Little is known of Takua’s history during the 1000 years of quasi-exile on Mata Nui until shortly before the arrival of the Toa Mata. Takua, however, was the one to inform the Turaga about Jaller’s broken mask. Vakama gave Jaller Turaga Lhikan’s old Hau at that time.

Takua once wandered into a stretch of jungle and encountered a Nui-Jaga. He managed to escape by leading it into a Muaka’s cave.

Because he was not content to stay in his village and work, Takua was banished from his home of Ta-Koro. Awakening on a beach, he was told by Jaller that Turaga Whenua had an important job for him. Upon entering Onu-Koro, he learned that Turaga Whenua had been kidnapped by Rahi and that his staff had been stolen. Takua bravely rescued the Turaga and recovered both the staff and the lost Toa Stone of Earth. Whenua informed him that the Rahi had been stepping up their attacks, and that he must continue to help the other villages. As Takua traveled from village to village, he rescued all the Turaga and recovered their staffs and the six Toa Stones. Once he recovered the Toa Stones, the Turaga told him to arrange them around the Kini-Nui. When Takua compiled the Stones, they released a huge beam of energy into the sky, blasting Takua into the air. He landed on the Ta-Koro Beach and was knocked unconscious.

For some reason, the blast had caused Takua to obtain amnesia. He followed Tahu through the Charred Forest and rediscovered the village of Ta-Koro. Once there, he learned from Vakama the legend of the Toa, and heard how the Ta-Matoran had mistaken Tahu for a Rahi, and had tried to attack him. He then warned Takua that he was not yet welcome in Ta-Koro, for the Matoran did not trust travelers. While he was in Ta-Koro, Takua met Jaller, who would end up sharing in his later adventures. Takua returned to the beach, where he found a distressed Ga-Matoran named Macku. Macku told him that Ga-Koro had been attacked by Rahi, and that only she had escaped. Borrowing Macku’s boat, Takua returned to the village of water.

Finding that one of the huts had sunk, Takua learned that Turaga Nokama and the inhabitants of Ga-Koro were trapped inside. Takua dove into the water and retrieved the missing gear from the city pump, returning the hut to the surface. A Tarakava attacked the Matoran as they escaped, but Toa Gali arrived in time to protect them, defeating the Tarakava and removing its Infected Kanohi. Macku told him of Po-Koro, and the Kolhii champion Hewkii who lived there.

Upon arriving in Po-Koro, Takua learned that Hewkii and many of the other Matoran had fallen to an epidemic. Investigating the Comet Balls that were being sold in the market, Takua found a small stone key with an Elemental symbol on it. Takua journeyed to the Quarry, and there found the door which the key opened. Inside, he found the source of the Comet balls and discovered that they were being stored with infected masks and were being guarded by a Nui-Jaga. Takua then guided Toa Pohatu, who had been temporarily blinded by the Nui-Jaga, to knock down the pillars that held up the roof of the cave. After being rescued from the cave, Takua returned to Po-Koro, where the grateful Turaga Onewa gave him a small stone chisel he was to show Turaga Nokama. Upon seeing the chisel, Turaga Nokama appointed him Chronicler and gave him a device known as a Book of Chronicles, with which he could chronicle the events he witnessed. For some reason, Takua had a knack — some would say ill luck — for being present when important things occurred.

Takua continued his journeys, next traveling through Onu-Koro. A lava flow had cut off access to the Lightstone mine, preventing the workers from being able to finish the tunnel to Le-Wahi. After recovering his old Lavaboard from Ta-Koro, Takua crossed the lava flow and repaired the lava pump, allowing the Matoran to mine more Lightstone. Also while in Onu-Koro, Takua learned of a mysterious layer that had been uncovered deep in the Great Mine. Traveling down there, he found a massive Sundial. Once the Le-Koro tunnel was completed, Takua decided to accompany Taipu to visit Le-Koro. While traveling through the jungle, Taipu was carried off by a wild Nui-Rama.

Upon arriving in Le-Koro, Takua learned from Kongu that Matau and many of the Le-Matoran had also been kidnapped by Nui-Rama, and that Toa Lewa was missing. Their talk was cut short by a swarm of Nui-Rama, and Takua agreed to second for Kongu riding a Kahu. After a few rough starts, Takua was able to master Disk throwing well enough to protect the Kahu from the attacking swarm, but upon arrival at the Nui-Rama Hive, they were knocked from the air. Within the hive, Takua discovered that Toa Lewa had accidentally put on an Infected Mask, and witnessed Onua fighting Lewa and removing his mask. When they arrived back at Le-Koro, Takua saw Lewa put his final mask on the Suva and get a Golden Kanohi and his Makoki Stone.

The final village that Takua visited was Ko-Koro. There, after rescuing an almost-frozen Kopeke, he found that Matoro had gone out into the drifts in a blizzard. Following Matoro, Takua succumbed to the cold and had a vision about the Bohrok and was found by Matoro.

After awakening, the two Matoran were attacked by a Muaka, and witnessed Kopaka defeating the beast. Matoro translated for Nuju and gave Takua the mission to take on Matoran from each village to guard the Kini-Nui while the Toa fought Teridax. Takua gathered Kapura, Macku, Hafu, Taipu, Tamaru, and Kopeke; all Matoran he had met on his journey.

Arriving at Kini-Nui, Takua witnessed the Toa fuse the Makoki Stones and enter the underground. The seven Matoran fought away the Rahi while Takua received visions of the Toa Kaita from Gali. Just when the Rahi were about to defeat them, reinforcements arrived from all the six villages, driving away the Rahi. Takua’s last vision from Gali was that of them about to enter Mangaia, Teridax’s lair. At the Kini-Nui, Onepu, who led the Ussalry from Onu-Koro, told Takua that something strange had happened in the underground village. Takua hurried back to Onu-Koro, where he found that the strange Sundial had become an elevator. Entering the underground, he found the Toa and watched them defeat Teridax. Unintentionally left behind, he also saw the awakening of the first of the Bohrok. Luckily, he found that the Chisel Turaga Onewa had given him generated an energy bubble that brought him back to the Ta-Wahi beach. Vakama was there waiting for him, and told him that because of his bravery and selflessness, he was now welcome back in Ta-Koro.

Takua continued his work as Chronicler during the many more adventures he had as a Matoran throughout the war with the Bohrok. He helped liberate Le-Koro, whose entire population was controlled by the Krana. After that, he traveled to Ga-Koro with Jaller, which soon came under attack from the Pahrak. Takua and Jaller were cut off from the rest of the Matoran when the Pahrak demolished several of the pathways between Ga-Koro’s lily pads. However, Takua came up with a makeshift catapult, which he used to launch himself between the Bohrok and the Matoran. Fortunately, it was at this time that the Toa Nuva imprisoned the Bahrag in Protodermis, stopping the Pahrak, as well as all the Bohrok on the island. During the struggle with the Bohrok-Kal, Takua briefly traveled with the Toa Nuva as they went to defeat the Bohrok Kal. After the Kal’s defeat, the Turaga held a Naming Day Ceremony for the Matoran who had helped defeat the Bohrok. While Macku, Jaller, and Hewkii’s names changed, Takua’s name remained the same. The Turaga announced the Wall of History, and Takua’s “honor” was to write the wall. Upset that all he received was a writing job, he held his own personal Naming Day Ceremony, where he renamed his pet Ussal Puku to Pewku. The Turaga also announced a great Kolhii Tournament to celebrate the new peace. Turaga Vakama chose Takua to represent Ta-Koro as the team’s forward, and soon Takua again became the epicenter of an island-changing series of events.

Takua’s greatest adventure began when he wandered off just before the Kolhii championship. Takua discovered the Great Kanohi Avohkii, Mask of Light. At the Kolhii Championship, which Takua’s adventuring had made him and Jaller late for, the Avohkii shone on Takua to indicate he was the one chosen to find the 7th Toa, however Takua tilted it to shine on Jaller, his best friend, instead. Turaga Vakama charged Jaller with the quest, but Jaller got Takua to come with him. The two soon departed with Pewku on their trip to search for the seventh Toa. After traveling most of Mata Nui, the three ended up at Kini-Nui. Almost immediately, Teridax’s Rahkshi began pursuing him, and in a final showdown took the life of Jaller. In his dying breath, Jaller handed Takua the Mask of Light and told him the truth he had seen about Takua’s identity. Takua placed the mask on his face, and was transformed into Takanuva, the Toa of Light.

Kapura:

Kapura on Metru Nui.How Kapura looked after his power was decreased by a Matoran Sphere.

As a member of the Ta-Matoran Guard, Kapura was considered by some in Ta-Koro to be slightly slow, but Vakama had great confidence in him and appointed him to stand at his left side. Through the Turaga’s wisdom and much practice, Kapura learned the secret art of traveling very quickly by moving very slowly and concentrating on the place where he was not already at. His slow and deliberate way always remains true to his purpose and he is surprisingly thoughtful, contributing simple but profound wisdom from time to time. Kapura was the first member of the Chronicler’s Company.

He then aided in the construction of Boats to return to Metru Nui, where he now resides.

Kalama:

Kalama on Metru Nui.

Kalama is a Ta-Matoran who worked in the Protodermis Reclamation Furnace in Ta-Metru. Many Matoran believed that he had been on the job too long and gone a bit mad, since he spoke to the flawed masks and tools as though they were living beings.

Later, on Mata Nui, Kalama joined the Ta-Matoran Guard. He taught about Duty: “Duty is one of the three virtues described to us by the Great Spirit. All Matoran have a Duty to perform, and the Guard most of all! From Duty comes the Principle.

Nuhrii:

Nuhrii as seen in Vakama's Toa Metru Mini Promo CD.

Nuhrii departed to the Protodermis Reclamation Yard where he went to retrieve a mask which he was working on earlier, and had received a message that the mask was fine. The mask, however, was in fact flawed. In the Protodermis Reclamation Yard, Nuhrii was given a message to travel to the northern regions of Ta-Metru, where he would find the secret of how to make his ultimate mask. However, the site was one of the first sites to be attacked by the Morbuzakh, and the region was mostly abandoned. Nuhrii was then trapped under a pile of rubble, and was rescued by Vakama, who had went in search of him. They were then attacked by a Morbuzakh vine, which grabbed Vakama. Using an enlarging Kanoka Disk, Nuhrii enlarged the vine, and Vakama was able to slip through. The Toa and Matoran quickly departed to the Great Temple. There, with the other Matoran, the Toa Metru discussed everything and deduced that Ahkmou was the traitor based on evidence found all over the island. Onewa wanted to teach him a lesson, but Vakama held him back. The Toa split into pairs, and Nuhrii lead Vakama and Onewa to the Ta-Metru Disk.

They then proceeded to the Great Temple, avoiding a Bordakh squad, and met with the other Toa. With the help of Ehrye, Vhisola, and Nuhrii, they determined that the Morbuzakh King Root would be in the Great Furnace. So they traveled to the Great Furnace, but were attacked by Morbuzakh vines before they could get in. Tehutti, having learned it in the Archives, showed the Matoran how to merge into a Matoran Nui. They (or ‘it’) kept the Morbuzakh at bay while the Toa Metru went in, but returned to their original forms eventually. All of the Matoran were exhilarated, and thought it was a great experience, but Ahkmou backed away and fled into the shadows.

Soon afterwards, Nuhrii was captured by the Vahki and forced into a Matoran Sphere. During his time in the pod he was physically weakened and his memories erased. He was awoken by the Toa Metru, along with the others, on the island of Mata Nui.

Nuhrii lived in Ta-Koro for a thousand years, facing the darkness of Teridax, who menaced the island with his infected Rahi, as a member of the Ta-Matoran Guard. On Mata Nui, his name was changed to Nuri for unknown reasons, but has since been changed back. He also acquired a black Kanohi Kaukau.

He helped in the construction of Boats to facilitate his, and the other Matoran’s return to Metru Nui, where he now resides.

Matoro:

The second Matoro set.

On Mata Nui, Matoro was the sole interpreter of Nuju’s mystical stories, following the meaning of the storyteller’s movements and tones. He always stood motionless on Nuju’s right during storytelling. He struck a narrator’s pose with his legs apart, head back and he using his deep and booming voice to relay Nuju’s wisdom. Matoro had stayed close to Nuju since the Bohrok awoke, so he was close at hand whenever the Turaga held their councils. Because of this, Matoro had borne the burden of knowing the secrets of the Turaga’s past for a very long time, long before the Turaga told the Toa after the events of the Kanohi Avohkii.

Matoro was right hand of Nuju, Kolhii player, interpreter and adventurer. He loved to explore the drifts, leaving behind small flags so he wouldn’t get lost. However, he was often by Nuju’s side, interpreting his gestures and sounds.

Matoro met Kopaka when he landed on a beach, and was mistaken by Kopaka for a hostile enemy. After Kopaka realized who Matoro was, the two went to Nuju, who was discussing the Toa’s mission, Teridax, and Mata Nui, until they arrived with Nuju. Matoro saved the Chronicler when Takua got lost and fell unconscious in the drifts, witnessing a battle between Kopaka and a Muaka in the process. Matoro then came back to Ko-Koro with Takua and translated Nuju for him, telling him to form a small band of Matoran to defend Kini-Nui. After the Sanctum Guard came to the aid of the Chronicler’s Company, he is seen having a conversation with Kopeke.

Later on, Matoro became the Ko-Koro Kolhii forward with his friend Kopeke, but they did not proceed to the Championship in Ta-Koro.

Arktinen:

Arktinen is a Ko-Matoran Icesmith. Nothing is known about his time in Metru Nui before the Great Cataclysm, but during the cataclysm he was placed into a Matoran Sphere and later rescued by the Toa Metru. On Mata Nui, he made Flags for Hahli in exchange for two Nails, a Bamboo Pole, and some Seaweed.

When the Rahkshi attacked Ko-Koro, Arktinen was evacuated with the rest of the Matoran. Following their defeat, he helped construct Boats for the return trip to Metru Nui, where he now resides.

Ehrye:

Ehrye in Nuju's Toa Metru Mini Promo CD.

While on Metru Nui, Ehrye was an errand runner for the seers and apprentices in the Knowledge Towers. He somehow learned the location of a Great Disk, and was going to give away the information to a Po-Matoran named Ahkmou for a fee. However, when he went to receive his payment he was welcomed by Nidhiki, a Dark Hunter. When asked for the Great Kanoka Disk, Ehrye refused, for the Great Kanoka Disks were the key to defeating the Morbuzakh, a vine-like being that had recently made several attacks against Metru Nui.

When Nuju became a Toa, Vakama had a vision depicting all of the six Matoran. Using this information, Nuju tracked down Ehrye to a very strange location: the top levels of a crystal Knowledge Towers. Ehrye had been trapped under a bunch of blocks by Nidhiki in anger, systematically designed so it would topple down upon the Matoran if not moved properly and to delay the Toa.

Ehrye was brought to the Great Temple. There, with the other Matoran, the Toa Metru discussed everything and deduced that Ahkmou was the traitor based on evidence found all over the island. Onewa wanted to teach him a lesson, but Vakama held him back.

Whenua, Nuju, Ehrye, and Tehutti journeyed to the Archives of Onu-Metru in search of the Onu-Metru Great Disk, left only with the ominous clue that ‘no door must be left unopened.’ Although there were thousands of doors in the Archives, Tehutti knew what level the Disk was on, but wasn’t allowed to join the Toa in their search. To make sure he and Ehrye didn’t get away, they were both placed in a level of the Archives Tehutti wasn’t familiar with and would surely get lost in if he tried to find a way out. The Toa Metru proceeded into the level, and met with a gigantic Ussal, Frost Leeches, a Two-Headed Tarakava, and an Archives Beast. After using all of their powers, intelligence and hard-earned friendship to find the Onu-Metru Great Disk in a supply closet, they proceeded to Ko-Metru.

At Ko-Metru, they went from Knowledge Tower to Knowledge Tower in search of the Ko-Metru Great Disk, left only with the clue, In Ko-Metru, find where sky and ice are joined.’ Tehutti and Ehrye were left behind, largely because Tehutti had been struck by a Keerakh, losing all sense of time and space and believing he was back in the Archives, cataloging a Fikou spider exhibit. They traveled through the part of Ko-Metru that Ehrye told them the Great Disk was in, evading the Keerakh and swinging from ice cables. Eventually, they found the location of the Great Disk, and while Whenua caused a serious distraction below by tunneling through a road, making the Keerakh leave the area, Nuju went up and grabbed the Great Disk from the middle of an icicle hanging from one of the highest Knowledge Towers.

They then proceeded to the Great Temple, avoiding a Bordakh squad, and met with the other Toa. Using their gained knowledge from Ehrye, Vhisola, and Nuhrii, they deduced that the Morbuzakh King Root would be in the Great Furnace. So they traveled to the Great Furnace, but were attacked by Morbuzakh vines before they got in. Tehutti showed the Matoran something he had learned in the Archives, how to merge into something known as a Matoran Nui. They (or ‘it’) batted off the Morbuzakh while the Toa Metru went in, but returned to their original forms eventually. All of the Matoran were exhilarated, and thought it was a great experience, but Ahkmou backed away and fled into the shadows. Immediately afterward the other five Matoran were captured by Vahki on Teridax’s orders and were placed inside Matoran Spheres.

Ehrye was transported to Mata Nui by the Toa Metru, along with the rest of the Matoran trapped in spheres. He resided in Ko-Koro, although what job he took there is unknown.

One thousand years later, several Rahkshi attacked Mata Nui, forcing the Ko-Matoran to evacuate Ko-Koro. Following this, Ehrye assisted in building Boats to faciliatate his and the other Matoran’s return trip to Metru Nui, where he presently resides.

I look at the snow, I see Destiny. You shall unite Duty and Destiny. You are the bringer. You are the Snowflake on the Mountain. He also provided her with the Destiny Charm.

When Takua came to Ko-Koro for a Matoran to defend Kini Nui, Nuju told him to take Kopeke. Kopeke agreed and his Ice carving skills came in handy as he carved a key to the Gate of Ice out of a nearby icicle. When the Ta-Matoran Guard, the Ussalry, the Gukko Force, and the Sanctum Guard came to join the fight, Kopeke was seen having a conversation with Matoro.

He is a champion of Huai Snowball Sling, and was also the goal-keeper of the Ko-Koro Kolhii team while on Mata Nui, however they did not make it to the Finals. He originally wore a Kanohi Komau, but it was damaged in Kolhii practice. So, in honor of Turaga Nuju, he took up a powerless Matatu.

Kopeke was evacuated from Ko-Koro when the Rahkshi attacked, and then helped in the construction of Boats to facilitate his, and the other Matoran’s return to Metru Nui, where he was appointed Chronicler when it was learned that the former Chronicler had become a Toa.

The Toa Metru rescued the Matoran of Metru Nui and transported them to the island of Mata Nui. Hahli was never too active until the Pahrak attack on Ga-Koro. There, she and Macku helped dismantle the causeways so that the Pahrak couldn’t get over to the Ga-Koro village. She also developed a close friendship with a Ta-Matoran named Jaller, Captain of the Guard.

When Gali had her Nuva Symbol stolen, Hahli saw her summoning a tidal wave, only for her to suddenly lose her powers. Hahli immediately set off to find Nokama and told her what happened.

To her surprise, after the Bohrok-Kal had been defeated, Nokama chose Hahli as Kolhii champion instead of Kotu. She went around the island with Macku, training up and meeting several Matoran. She also found several charms, the six Crystals hidden on Mata Nui, and solved the riddles in the six temples.

Eventually, they got into the Kolhii Championship in Ta-Wahi where Po-Koro and Ta-Koro were playing. Ga-Koro’s team beat the other teams, although the Po-Matoran were close. But that was when the Mask of Light slipped out. She wanted to speak to Jaller, but he had to leave quickly as herald.

After Ta-Koro’s destruction, Hahli placed the crystals in slots near the Amaja circle on the Ta-Koro beach. She was teleported on Kini-Nui and to a beach, where Turaga Nokama told her that she was to be Chronicler.

When Jaller died and Takua transformed into Takanuva, she mourned greatly for him. She was the one who proposed putting his mask upon the Ussanui, as a symbol of leading one to victory and a new light. She even snuck into the Ussanui and went down with Takanuva into Mangaia. There, Takanuva sent her back to get the other Turaga and Toa Nuva and tell them to come. After the battle, with Takutanuva lifting the door, she ran by with Jaller’s mask. She was stopped by Takutanuva, however, who gave up part of his life force to bring Jaller back to life.

Amaya was a Teacher in Ga-Metru on Metru Nui; she was known to have taught the Ga-Matoran Vhisola. After arriving on Mata Nui, Amaya became a Flax-maker in Ga-Koro. She is friends with Hahli, who brought her Harakeke and Cowrie Shells with which to make Flax.

Five hundred years after coming to Mata Nui, Amaya was talked into joining a rowing club by Macku and Marka. During the excursion, a squid attacked the canoe. Amaya attempted to rescue Marka, but failed and she was dragged into the water. Amaya then jumped in and began jabbing the squid with her oar until the squid released Marka.

The Ga-Matoran followed the squid to Ga-Koro, where they witnessed it ravaging the village. Amaya then attempted to tie up the squid’s tentacles, but began to pass out from exhaustion. She was saved by Macku as the other Ga-Matoran drove the squid out.

When the Toa Mata came to Mata Nui, Amaya was trapped in the sunken hut along with Nokama, and the other Ga-Matoran. She was later freed by Takua, and witnessed the fight between Gali and the Tarakava.

She was also present during the Pahrak invasion on Ga-Koro.

She helped in the construction of Boats to facilitate her and the other Matoran’s return to Metru Nui, where she now resides.

Kai:

Kai was a sailor who spent most of her time walking around Ga-Koro shipyards getting orders from Marka. She made String and Rope from the Flax that Hahli brought her. Shasa used her Rope for her supplies, and Kailani used her String. Kai needed five Flax for one String, and five Strings for each Rope.

Kai once tried to start a rowing club, but the first attempt was stopped when a squid attacked the Boat. She was pulled down by the monster, but was saved when Amaya started jabbing the creature’s eyes.

She was trapped in a sunken hut along with all the other Ga-Matoran during an infected Rahi attack on the village.

She also took a last stand with Nokama, Onewa, and the Po-Matoran, during the Battle for Ga-Koro, shortly before the Bahrag were defeated by the Toa Mata.

Kai later helped construct Boats so she and the other Matoran could return to Metru Nui, where they all now reside.

Kailani:

Kailani is Ga-Koro’s Craftswoman who makes all sorts of tools, including Fishhooks, Sickles, Hatchets, and Kolhii Sticks. She relies on Hahli to bring her any supplies she needs. She is often found in Okoth’s hut.

She later started taking care of the beast recovering from the control that Teridax had over it.

She later took care of the Rahi in one of the huts.

During the Bohrok wars, Kotu alerted Nokama of the arrival of the evacuating Po-Matoran. She later helped in dismantling the paths leading to the aquatic village to keep the Pahrak swarms from “cleaning” Ga-Koro. However when the Bohrok cornered the two Turaga and the other Matoran, Kotu took a final stand with everyone else before the Toa Mata defeated the Bahrag.

When Nokama announced her choices for the Kolhii tournament, Kotu was surprised that Hahli was picked instead of her, but she helped her by constructing Bamboo poles, and teaching her about Kolhii.

The Ga-Matoran later helped in the construction of Boats to carry the Matoran to Metru Nui, where Kotu now lives.

Macku:

Macku in Mask of Light.

After the Great Cataclysm had fallen and the Matoran were taken to Mata Nui by the Turaga, Macku worked in Ga-Koro. When she met Hewkii, the two became close friends and Macku constantly tried to sneak out of her village to see him, much to the dismay of Turaga Nokama.

Five hundred years after the Great Cataclysm, Macku and Marka convinced Amaya to join a rowing club started by Kai. When a squid attacked their canoe, Amaya drove it off, but it then headed towards Ga-Koro. Amaya tied up the Rahi’s tentacles to try and stop it, and Macku saved her when she passed out. She later retrieved Marka’s Hau, which was lost when the squid attacked the boat.

She first met Takua when he was searching for the Toa Stones. She was a champion at Ngalawa Boat Racing, but she ultimately lost to Takua. When her village fell victim to a Tarakava tainted by Teridax’s Infected Kanohi, she escaped and managed to find Takua to help. While he went to Ga-Koro to see the damage, she went off to search for Gali, which she succeeded in, but upon arrival to Ga-Koro was punished by Nokama for wandering away from the village, despite that it saved them, and was forbidden to leave again. Macku became bored at her confinement, and was later stricken with worry when she learned of the Po-Koro Epidemic, wondering if Hewkii was affected. She was later relieved when she learned that he had recovered.

Takua later met up with Macku again, this time to ask her to join the Chronicler’s Company. Macku helped the company by driving a boat under Naho Falls, and then later defended the Kini-Nui from infected Rahi.

During the invasion of the Bohrok swarms, Macku patrolled the waters of Naho Bay in her canoe. When Pahrak attacked the village, she almost died trying to destroy the path leading into Ga-Koro, but she was saved by Hewkii. She also saved the Boxor pilots when the Machines were thrown into the water. However, the Bohrok were able to make there way to the village regardless, and the Matoran and Turaga were cornered, Macku made a final stand along with everyone else, before the Bahrag were defeated and the Bohrok were deactivated.

In return for saving her life, she taught Hewkii to swim, whether he wanted to or not. After the Bohrok and Bohrok-Kal were defeated, she was awarded a name change on Naming Day. Her name was lengthened from Maku to Macku. Her time with Hewkii had made her a good Kolhii player, and she was appointed goalie of the Ga-Koro team. Together with Hahli, she led Ga-Koro to victory in the tournament. She was evacuated from Ta-Koro along with the other Matoran during the Rahkshi attack.

She helped in the construction of Boats to facilitate her, and the other Matoran’s return to Metru Nui, where she now resides.

Marka:

Marka on Metru Nui.

Marka is Ga-Koro’s chief Shipwright.

Marka once talked Amaya into joining a rowing club. When a squid attacked the Boat, however, she was pulled down into the water, and was saved when Amaya attacked the Rahi, but had already fallen unconscious by then. She temporarily lost her Hau and was carried back to Ga-Koro by Amaya. Her Hau was later recovered by Macku.

Marka takes her work very seriously, but is willing to offer a healthy-sized dose of Widgets for supplies such as Rope, Sailcloth, and Rigging. Shasa brings some of these supplies to the shipyard quite often. She also studies Purity, one of the six Principles of Mata Nui, and provided the Purity Charm to Hahli: Here! Since you’re so interested in Purity, take this stone. It bears the symbol of Purity. I found it once, a long time ago, while cutting wood near the falls. Maybe it can help you somehow.

Later, when Takua explored the Great Mine in Onu-Wahi, he encountered an Onu-Matoran who had stumbled upon a sundial. He asked Takua to deliver a letter to Nixie, asking why there would be a sundial underground. In return, Nixie gave Takua a Gnomon, which proved to be the key to unlocking one of the entrances to Mangaia.

During the Pahrak invasion of Ga-Koro, Nixie made a last stand against the Bohrok along with everyone else present. She continued to study the movements of the stars afterwards, offering riddles to Hahli.

He discovered the body of a Le-Matoran murdered by Tuyet while he was rushing to the Chute Station once. While Teridax was disguised as Turaga Dume, Nidhiki and Krekka threatened him to change the direction of a Chute where three of the Toa Metru were in, he had no choice but to revert it. Later, he was put in a Matoran Sphere and was eventually awakened by the new Turaga of Mata Nui.

During the time of the Rahi attacks from Teridax, Kongu became an expert bird wrangler and was appointed captain of the Gukko Force. He led Takua as a second on a Gukko bird into the Nui-Rama Hive to save several Le-Matoran and one Onu-Matoran, Taipu, who had been taken by the Nui-Rama under command of Toa Lewa, who had been taken by Makuta. Kongu flew into the hive while Takua was frantically shooting Disks at the Nui-Rama onslaught. But once in, they were trapped with the others. Only by Onua coming in and saving Lewa were they saved.

Tamaru:

Tamaru lived on the island of Mata Nui for a year before Teridax’s infected Rahi attacked the villages. After many years of attacks, the Nui-Rama mounted a major one. Coming from their nest, the Nui-Rama and Nui-Kopen all flew to Le-Koro, where they attacked all the Matoran. The Matoran bravely fought back, but were defeated. Many of the Le-Matoran were taken, including their Turaga, Matau. With only a handful of Matoran left in the village, they were extremely cautious.

Soon after the attack, Onu-Matoran succeeded in making a tunnel from Onu-Koro to Le-Wahi. Taipu, one of the miners, and Takua, the Chronicler, explored the area. Soon, Taipu was captured by a Nui Rama, and Takua stumbled upon an elevator, which took him up to the village. The Le-Matoran took shelter, believing the Matoran to be a Nui-Rama. Takua found a flute that had been dropped, and started to play. The Matoran heard this, and came out, as no Nui-Rama could make a sound like that. Tamaru and Kongu, Tamaru’s friend, filled in Takua as to what had been going on.

While the Matoran talked, Tamaru noticed Nui-Rama filing out from their hive, far off on the horizon. The Le-Matoran then mobilized a force, and, on Gukko birds, they flew out to strike the Nui-Rama and recover their friends, while they prepared, Tamuru is seen trying to mount a Kewa, and getting repeatedly knocked off. Armed with disks, the Matoran fought, while Kongu and Takua, Kongu’s second, made it into the hive. While Tamaru stayed at the village, he was soon joined by the freed Matoran and Turaga, along with Toa Onua and Lewa. The Le-Matoran threw a party, during which they watched Lewa descend into the Toa Suva, and rise with his Golden Kanohi. While the other Le-Matoran rejoice however, Tamuru is seen sitting away from the party.

Later on, when Matau received word of a Rahi attack by Teridax via Takua, by a note written by Nuju, Matau prepared the villagers to fight back. Tamaru, however, was sent to the ground, to guard the village against Rahi attacks; this was Matau’s kind way of getting Tamaru out of the way, as he wouldn’t be useful due to his fear of heights. Later, when Takua came around all the villages to search for Matoran to join his compoany, Tamaru immedietely joined in, believing that no land Rahi would attack Le-Koro.

After the Company was assembled, they journeyed to the Kini-Nui. Along the way, Tamaru revealed to Takua that, unlike most Le-Matoran, he did not have a fear of the water. Later on, when the group encountered a ravine, Tamaru helped the group cross it. When the group made it to the Kini-Nui, they defended the temple against several Rahi. When hundreds of Rahi began to attack, Tamaru held tight and did not flee. When the company received help from all the villages, they were able to defeat the Rahi, and Tamaru took some time to speak with Kongu.

Later on, when the Bohrok swarms struck, Tamaru and Kongu were the only Le-Matoran not infected by the Krana. After Nuparu invented the Boxor, he and Takua journeyed to Le-Wahi, where they spoke to Tamaru and Kongu. Together, the Matoran formed a plan. The next day, the two Matoran lured Nuhvok away from the jungle, and taunted them towards a clearing. When the Nuhvok arrived there, Matoran in Boxors struck the Nuhvok, defeating them.

Tamaru also played witness to the attacks of the Bohrok-Kal and the Rahkshi. After Metru Nui was rediscovered, Tamaru helped to build boats which the Matoran would travel in to reach Metru Nui. After arriving on the island, Tamaru helped repair Le-Metru and the rest of the island. He is currently working on the island, after the Staff of Artakha repaired all the destruction on Metru Nui.

During a Rahi attack on Le-Koro, Vira, Tamaru, and the other Gukko Force Members were the only one to evade capture from the Nui-Rama. They hid once they heard Takua come up to the village, but once they heard him play a flute they came out of there hiding places and greeted him. Later duing another attack, Vira saddled up and rode into battle. Matau, and the other Le-Matoran were freed with the help of Onua.

Hewkii:

Hewkii after having his power decreased.The 2003 Matoran Hewkii set.

On Metru Nui, Hewkii served as proprietor of the most famous disk store in Metru Nui. Its disks were of such fine Akilini quality that Turaga Dume had to ban other Metru players from using Po-Metru Disks. It is naturally presumed that he played Akilini. Just prior to the Great Cataclysm, he was placed into a Matoran Sphere, and was later rescued by the Toa Metru, and taken to Mata Nui.

In the 1,000 years before the coming of the Toa Mata, Hewkii aided the defense of Po-Koro and established his position as Kolhii champion. During this time, he learned much about stone, which later aided him as a Toa Inika. During his time on the island, he stood as Onewa’s right hand Matoran. At that time he was the greatest goal-scorer of all time at Kolhii and one of the few Po-Matoran able to crush boulders with both his feet and his head. It is said that he learned this skill after Macku soaked his mask during a practical joke.

During the Great War Hewkii was one of the first to fall victim to the infection spread by the Comet balls, which were being sold by Ahkmou. This caused him to fall very ill, and if Pohatu had not saved him by removing the infected Comet balls, he would have either died or become a servant of Teridax. Hewkii recovered in time to organize the defense of Po-Koro from the Tahnok swarm. While under Toa Pohatu’s control, he kicked a Kolhii ball down, which struck a makeshift lever, catapulting Pohatu and Hafu into the air and over the walls. Despite this victory, he fled with the other Po-Matoran to Ga-Koro on a fleet of hidden boats. They didn’t have much time to rest after arrival, because the Pahrak swarm attacked. Hewkii saved Macku by catching a piece of debris headed towards her in a fishing staff. This catch inspired a new form of Kolhii, in which staffs would be used instead of kicking the ball.

After the Bohrok-Kal attacks, Hewkii was chosen by Onewa, along with Hafu, to participate in Kolhii Tournament. The Po-Koro team got all the way to the Ta-Koro Kolhii Championship, in which they won second place to the Ga-Koro team. He was evacuated along with the other Matoran when the Rahkshi attacked the village.

He helped in the construction of boats to Metru Nui.

Akhmou:

Ahkmou on Metru Nui.The Ahkmou set.

Teridax sent Ahkmou to Mata Nui to secretly work for him as a Trader in Po-Koro. Ahkmou came into the Po-Koro community as a latecomer, but none of the other Matoran would ever question his sudden appearance as it was at the period of time where all of their memories would still turn out to be fuzzy. Ahkmou’s body had shrunk along with all of the other Matoran as a result of being in his sphere for too long. When Turaga Onewa realized what Ahkmou knew, he sternly told Ahkmou not to reveal any of Metru Nui’s secrets to any of the Matoran.

Once in Po-Koro, Ahkmou attempted to make a living by selling “lucky Ghekula” to superstitious Matoran. Turaga Onewa put a stop to this. Ahkmou later sold Kolhii balls infected with Teridax’s influence, called Comets, to the Po-Matoran of Po-Koro. The Comets became a fad among the Po-Matoran, and once the Po-Koro population fell ill, Ahkmou fled. Thanks to Takua, the source of the infected Koli balls was discovered in a Nui-Jaga nest inside a quarry. Toa Mata Pohatu destroyed the infected Koli balls, leaving a sign at his stand saying “Gone Fishing”. After some time, Ahkmou later returned to Po-Koro. At this point, Turaga Onewa knew that Ahkmou was allied with Teridax.

After the Toa Nuva defeated the Bohrok-Kal, Ahkmou’s body changed to a larger, more agile shape along with all the other Matoran using the Turaga’s knowledge of reconstruction. Ahkmou continued to work as a shopkeeper in Po-Koro, and did not try any more heists.

Believing that Teridax had died after Takanuva defeated him and rediscovered Metru Nui for the Turaga, Ahkmou at first helped the Po-Matoran widen the tunnels leading to the Silver Sea. When everything was ready, Ahkmou sailed to Metru Nui with all of the other Matoran. Ahkmou is now living on Metru Nui with the other Po-Matoran.

Hafu in Metru Nui.

On Mata Nui he was renowned as a master carver in his village of Po-Koro. Because of this, he was known to arrogantly flaunt his carving talents. Hafu also gave carving lessons to anyone who wanted his services.

Onewa assigned Hafu to be a member of the Chronicler’s Company because he felt his talents would be ill-suited for the expected attacks on Po-Koro. Hafu helped by clearing an avalanche that had blocked the path, and created a giant statue of himself in its place. He also participated in the Battle for Kini-Nui, defending it from Rahi.

During the Siege of Po-Koro Hafu, was dismayed that he would have to knock down his own statues in order to protect the village, and despite his objections, the decision was made that he would do it. While Hewkii was preparing an escort for him, the Tahnok pulled a sneak attack. Hafu selflessly knocked down the statues to protect Po-Koro, leaving him outside at the mercy of the Bohrok. Fortunately, he was saved by Pohatu just before he was hit by a Krana. Pohatu succesfully brought him back safely inside the village. Despite his personal sacrifice, more swarms came and Hafu was forced to evacuate to Ga-Koro.

Kamen:

Kamen makes sure all of the carvings in Po-Koro do not disintegrate or begin to wear away. After ages of display, erosion has its effect from the harsh winds of the desert, so Kamen makes sure the stones don’t crack or erode. He elaborated once to Hahli: I am constantly taking care of the sculptures, so that they do not Disintegrate! Time and weather take their toll on our great works, wearing them down into dust. The enemy of Creation is Disintegration!

Kamen was among the Matoran that were evacuated to Ga-Koro after Tahnok Swarms threatened to overwhelm Po-Koro. After the Pahrak Swarms cornered the Matoran in Ga-Koro, Kamen made a final stand along with all the other Matoran present, before the Bahrag were defeated by the Toa Mata. He later departed back to Po-Koro.

Kamen helped to build Boats to facilitate his and the other Matoran’s return to Metru Nui, where he now resides.

During Takua’s quest for the Toa Stones Podu became trapped under several, large boulders which fell due to a wild kick while practicing his Kolhii game in Po-Wahi. When Takua spoke with Podu’s Kanohi Akaku-wearing training partner while passing through Po-Wahi on his way to Po-Koro, he was informed of the trapped Po-Matoran’s situation, and was asked to assist. Takua tossed three rocks out of the way then rolled a larger one from atop Podu, freeing him. The sore but grateful Podu gifted an Amana Volo Sphere to Takua as thanks for rescuing him.

Nuparu:

Nuparu's appearance after being forced into a Matoran Sphere.Nuparu on Metru Nui.

Nuparu was employed as a Rahi Receiving Official at one of the Onu-Metru Airship, Chute, and boat docks, but he always spent his spare time dreaming and designing new inventions, and would sometimes sneak off into the Archives sublevels to collect parts to make his machines. One of his more notable inventions on Metru Nui were the Vahki. He was also responsible for the designing of the Kralhi, which were less sucessful and were later dubbed “Nuparu’s Folly”. Nuparu’s curiosity sometimes got the better of him. But sometimes it would help him lead to new heights. While Nuparu was searching for random Rahkshi pieces in the Archives sub-level, Nuparu stumbled upon a leak in one of the sea walls which could have burst, causing liquid Protodermis to flood in. He rushed to Toa Whenua and the Toa Metru came to help. There they encountered Krahka, the shape-shifting Rahi. After the Toa left to stop this threat, Nuparu vowed to someday create something that would help the Matoran defend themselves, without help from Toa. He later accomplished this on Mata Nui, when he created the Boxor.

Like all the Metru Nui Matoran, Nuparu had his power and size decreased by a Matoran pod. However, this did not affect Nuparu’s ability as an inventor.

As the Tunnel Engineer 2nd Class, Marn Tunnel 12, Section 4 of Onu-Koro, Nuparu had a big duty, and worked hard throughout the long years underground. The Matoran trusted Nuparu to build inventions and machines for the village. During the Bohrok invasion, when the Gahlok attacked Onu-Koro, Taipu and Onepu were making sure everyone got out alive. Nuparu, however, didn’t get to the exit quick enough. The three of them ended up trapped in a cave. After finding a Lightstone, they were all surprised by an inactive Gahlok whose Krana had been taken away. At first Onepu thought he was slacking off from trying to find a way out, but actually Nuparu had taken out his tools and started to take apart the humbled Bohrok. With nothing better to do, the other two Onu-Matoran helped him rebuild the Bohrok into the new Boxor vehicle. He tested his new invention by knocking out the rock wall and some Gahlok inside the mine. Soon these Boxors were being drastically produced to help the Matoran fight the Bohrok.

Nuparu was granted permission to bring several of his Boxors with him on the return to Metru Nui, so he can continue to build them using the Bohrok there, and so his fellow Matoran can continue to use them in their defenses. Regretting he never got to see and examine a full Exo-Toa, he also secretly salvaged pieces of those robots, and smuggled them onto the boats without anyone knowing.

Aiyetoro:

Aiyetoro was an Onu-Matoran Miner who dug for Ore.

While Hahli was visiting Onu-Koro, Aiyetoro was experiencing difficulty finishing his shift because he did not have a Lightstone to help him. When Hahli retrieved one for him from Great Mine Cave E, he rewarded her with twenty-five Widgets and explained the importance of the Virtues Onu-Koro honors: We toil away all day in the mines. It’s both our Duty and our Destiny! Onua gazes upon the Earth and sees riches. It is our Duty to dig, and our Destiny to find them! The combination of Duty and Destiny brings the Principle!

Aiyetor was evacuated from Onu-Koro during the Rahkshi attack along with the other Matoran. Following the Rahkshi’s defeat and Metru Nui’s rediscovery, he aided in the construction of Boats to return to Metru Nui, where he now resides.

Akamu:

Akamu was a Crafter on Mata Nui who invented the Sluice, a tool used to collect Protodermis.

When the Rahkshi attacked Onu-Koro, Akamu was evacuated from the village with the other Matoran. He then aided in the construction of Boats to return to Metru Nui, where he now resides.

Azibo:

Azibo was one of Chief Mamru’s prospectors in Onu-Koro. Mamru held him in very high esteem, saying that he was his best Prospector and was very talented. Azibo was well-versed in the Principle of Prosperity and explained its nature to Hahli after she retrieved his Sluice that had fallen in a crevice.

Azibo was evacuated from Onu-Koro during the Rahkshi attack along with the other Matoran. He then aided in the construction of Boats to return to Metru Nui, where he now resides.

Damek:

Damek on Metru Nui.

On Metru Nui originally, Damek was a Guard posted at one of the entrances of the Archives. On Mata Nui, Damek was also a Guard.

He and the other Onu-Matoran were evacuated from Onu-Koro during the Rahkshi attack. Damek then aided in the construction of Boats to return to Metru Nui, where he now resides.

Dosne:

Dosne was the Mining Captain of Onu-Koro. Dosne was familiar with the Onu-Koro Kolhii Skill, Stamina, stating: It is hard work to follow the Principle of Onu-Koro. When we do, we are given the gift of Stamina! Stamina gives you the power to dig forever.

During the Rahkshi attack on Onu-Koro, Dosne was evacuated from the village with the other Matoran. He then aided in the construction of Boats to return to Metru Nui, where he now resides.

Kaj:

Kaj was a Guard of the gate to Onu-Koro on Mata Nui.

When the Rahkshi attacked Onu-Koro, he was evacuated from the village along with the other Matoran. Following their defeat, Kaj aided in the construction of Boats to return to Metru Nui, where he now resides.

Mamru:

Mamru was the Chief Prospector of Onu-Koro. It was his job to find the Ore deposits in the Great Mine. He had great faith in fellow prospector Azibo, whose knowledge of the Principle of Onu-Koro was considered invaluable to their job.

Mamru was evacuated from Onu-Koro with the other Matoran during the Rahkshi attack on the village. He then aided in the construction of Boats to return to Metru Nui, where he now resides.

Midak:

Midak's hut and Ussal stables.

While on Mata Nui, Midak lived in a hut just outside of the Motara Desert and the Onu-Po-Highway. Midak took care of Ussal Crabs, and he spent a lot of time watching the Ussal Races. He lent Ussal crabs to travelers to quickly get to Onu-Koro so they would not get lost in the dark tunnels.

After Pewku had gotten too old for racing, Onepu gave her to Midak. Midak later gave Pewku to Takua so she could escort him to Onu-Koro. Later, upon hearing the news on how Takua had helped Onu-Koro with many of its problems, Midak personally thanked Takua.

When the Matoran returned to Metru Nui, Midak then aided in the construction of Boats to return to Metru Nui, where he now resides.

He befriended Toa Pohatu, who named the Midak Skyblasters in honor of him.

Onepu:

The Onepu set.

On Mata Nui, Onepu became Turaga Whenua’s right hand. An ussal racing champion, Onepu was a member and the captain of the Ussalry, and occasionally mined. Onepu was Taipu’s best friend, and sometimes took advantage of him, such as when he talked Taipu into doing his mining work for him. After Whenua was alerted to the possiblity of a Rahi attack as the Toa Mata descended into Mangaia, Onepu and the Ussalry went to work defending the village. When the infected Rahi began to retreat, Onepu and the Ussalry traveled to the Kini-Nui, where he came to the Chronicler’s Company’s aid. After helping them defeat Rahi, Onepu told Takua to travel to Onu-Koro, due to a discovery that Takua would be interested in.

Later, during the Bohrok attacked Mata Nui, and Onepu was in the village when the Gahlok struck and flooded the cavern. When this attack happened, he helped direct everyone to safety. As Nuparu came running towards him, a flood of water hit them, propelling them into a tunnel. When they reawoke, Nuparu used his Lightstone to illuminate the area. The group found themselves near a Gahlok, but, as Onepu pointed out, one devoid of its Krana. Struck by an idea, Nuparu began to work on an invention using the Bohrok’s parts, while Onepu and Taipu helped him. Eventually, they used his invention, the Boxor, to battle and win against a squad of Gahlok.

Onepu later helped Nuparu defeat some Nuhvok in Le-Koro. After the swarms defeat, Onepu was defeated by a creature who seeked Onua’s Nuva Symbol.

He was evacuated from Onu-Koro during the Rahkshi attack and aided in the construction of Boats to return to Metru Nui, where he now resides. Once there, Onepu helped rebuild the city, and went back to work once the Staff of Artakha repaired the city.

Taipu:

How Taipu looked after his power was decreased by a Matoran Sphere.

Taipu worked as a miner and digger for most of his time on Mata Nui. One of the projects he worked on was the tunneling of the Le-Koro Highway, where he worked even after the other miners had stopped digging due to the poor light, bad air, and constant Rahi attacks. Soon after Takua managed to drain the lava blocking the way to the Cavern of Light, Taipu was the first to break through to Le-Wahi. He begged Takua to let him go along and see Le-Koro, and was overjoyed when the Chronicler let him come. Soon after sighting Le-Koro, Taipu was captured by an infected Nui-Rama, and taken to its hive, where he was forced to dig for unclear reasons. Soon afterwards, he witnessed the battle between Onua and the infected Lewa, and rode with Onua when they escaped from the hive. He then stayed for a while at Le-Koro and celebrated with the Le-Matoran before returning to Onu-Koro.

Soon after, Taipu was recruited from mining detail in the Great Mine by Takua on the advice of Whenua, who said that he had talked long and often of the adventure in Le-Wahi. He eagerly joined the Chronicler’s Company and helped to clear obstacles on the path to the Kini-Nui, and defended the temple from the vicious Rahi so the Toa would be able to escape freely. The Company almost failed, and might have if the Ta-Matoran Guard, Le-Matoran Gukko Force, and the Onu-Matoran Ussalry hadn’t shown up to help.

During the evacuation of a Gahlok raid on Onu-Koro, he, Onepu and Nuparu were trapped in a cave after a flood of gushing water beat its way through Onu-Koro. Trapped, all they had for light was a Lightstone. Nuparu introduced himself to Onepu and Taipu and then they journeyed through the cavern. All of them jumped at the sight of a Gahlok, but it was deactivated without a Krana. Using knowledge Onepu had attained from Whenua about the nature of the Bohrok, Nuparu engineered from the Bohrok pieces a machine called the Boxor. With it, they broke out of the cavern and saved Onu-Koro.

Later, Whenua would choose Taipu to be goal-keeper of the Onu-Koro Kolhii team, although he and Onepu were eliminated early in the Grand Tournament.

He was evacuated from Onu-Koro with the other Matoran during the Rahkshi attack.

Taipu then aided in the construction of Boats to return to Metru Nui, where he now resides.

Tehutti:

Tehutti in Metru Nui.Tehutti as a set.

On Mata Nui, Tehutti was re-named Tehuti and given a replacement Kanohi Kakama for unknown reasons. His name has since been changed back. He worked in the Great Mine in Onu-Wahi as a Miner.

He was evacuated from Onu-Koro with the other Matoran during the Rahkshi attack.

Tehutti then aided in the construction of Boats to return to Metru Nui, where he now resides.

Zemya:

Crawling with Makuta

The Toa Mistika face their biggest challenge yet (actually their first challenge). three Makuta have come desiring the Mask of Life. They are tough, fast and relatively smart.

Makuta Krika:

Little is known of Krika’s history prior to the invasion of the Universe Core. It is known that when Makuta Teridax revolted against Miserix, the leader of the Brotherhood of Makuta, Krika, along with Icarax, was one of the last Makuta to support Teridax. When Teridax ordered Krika and Spiriah to slay Miserix, Krika instead imprisoned Miserix on Artidax.

Thousands of years later, Krika was one of the Makuta assigned to invade the Core of the Universe. He was the leader of the Makuta in the Swamp of Secrets, and along with the other two, was exposed to the mutagen in the swamp, similar to the pit’s mutagen, which locked him into the insectoid form he had shape-shifted into to blend in with the local wildlife and caused him to lose many of his powers. He found Tahu beside the Codrex after he was thrown back by it’s energy shield. He drained his energy, but fled after Tahu used his last power reserves to heat up the ground beneath him. He has came back to Codrex with his brothers and sister for the final battle against the Toa Nuva.

Krika seemed to have a good idea of what the full extent of the Plan was when he told Gali to leave Karda Nui. He stated that by awakening Mata Nui, the Toa Nuva would be doomed a future more horrible than they can ever imagine but if one Toa Nuva left the Universe Core, that future would not come to pass. He was later driven away by Takanuva.

Makuta Bitil:

Not much is known about his past. Bitil and Gorast were the first to side with Teridax when he took over the Brotherhood of Makuta from Miserix. In The Mutran Chronicles Bitil was the first to notice that every Makuta had evolved. Later, Bitil was one of the Makuta assigned to invade the Swamp of Secrets. He was assigned to the swamp with Krika and Gorast, where he shape-shifted into his current form to blend in with the local Rahi, but was mutated by the Swamp waters, so he could no longer shape-shift and was locked in his current form, and lost a lot of his other abilities. He found Onua in battle with a Nui Kopen and attacked from behind, and shot him with his Nynrah Ghostblaster. He forced Onua to come with him to Krika’s camp, but Onua caused an explosion of mud and escaped. Bitil and Gorast later followed Onua and Gali to the Codrex where they united with Krika and the Phantoka Makuta for the final battle against the Toa Nuva.

Makuta Gorast:

Not much is known about her past exept that after the defeat of the League of Six Kingdoms, she traveled with Mutran to the territory of Kalmah. She and Bitil were the first to side with Teridax after he overthrew Miserix and revealed his plan. On Teridax’s order, Gorast and Icarax hunted down and killed all the Makuta who had initially defended Miserix. She was later sent to Karda Nui to control Mata Nui’s situation, and prevent the creation of anymore Toa of Light by making Av-Matoran into Shadow Matoran. She shape-shifted to blend in with the wildlife of the Swamp, but was mutated by the swamp and could not shape-shift back to her original form, plus, she has had to feed on the light of Rahi, until she found Gali in the swamp. She was about to drain Gali’s light, but was ambushed by Onua, but later followed them to the Codrex, then united with her five brothers for the final battle.

Skyfighter:

The Skyfighter was a vehicle that belonged to Vultraz. Vultraz, who was an engineer, made it with stolen parts. It had an altered Midak Skyblaster that shot bolts of shadow.

Jetrax T6:

The form which Antroz takes on while piloting Jetrax T6.

Jetrax T6 was a vehicle found by Toa Kopaka while inside the Codrex, but was imediately stolen by Makuta Antroz. It, along with Rockoh T3 and Axalara T9, was made by Artakha and placed in Karda Nui sometime before the Toa Mata were created. It was in the Swamp of Secrets.

Of the three T-series vehicles, Jetrax was the fastest.
