List of Matoran

The following is a list of Matoran characters in the Lego Bionicle franchise. For information on the race as a whole, see Matoran.

Mata Nui/Metru Nui Matoran
Ta-Matoran
Jaller


Jaller was the Captain of the Ta-Koro Guard and the 'Herald of the Seventh Toa' (a title he was actually given by Takua, who was unwilling to accept the fact that he was the true Herald). He is Takua's best friend and former kolhii partner. After the Bohrok war, he became close friends with Hahli. He used to be called "Jala", but was renamed for his deeds in defeating the Bohrok swarms. In the search for the Toa of Light, Jaller was killed by Turahk, but was later brought to life again by Takutanuva. After Takua became Toa Takanuva, Jaller inherited his Ussal crab, . On Metru Nui, he was a toolmaker, frequently keeping Takua out of trouble from the Vahki. Jaller eventually became the Toa Inika of Fire.

Jaller had a red Noble-style Komau mask on Metru Nui, but it broke and was replaced with Toa Lhikan's golden Noble Hau, which transformed into a yellow Great Hau shape (but kept its Noble powers). His colors were mostly yellow and red.

Kapura
Kapura serves as 's messenger. Despite his apparent sluggish movements, Kapura is capable of covering great distances in short periods of time (or as he puts it, "covering great distances by moving very slowly" or simply "being where he isn't."). On Mata Nui, he often went into the forest to practice this at the urging of Turaga Vakama. He was a member of the Chronicler's Company, responsible for defending the Kini-Nui Temple while the Toa Mata faced Makuta. When he lived on Metru Nui, he worked as a vat controller; he also searched for usable objects in the wreckage of factories that the Morbuzakh had demolished.

He wore a Great Pakari mask on Metru Nui. His colors were red and gray, and he wielded a Kanoka Disk Launcher. Currently he wears a Noble Ruru, and his colors have changed to a dark red. However, in the Mata Nui Online Game he is also seen with a Great Pakari.

Nuhrii
Nuhrii is part of the Ta-Koro Guard. Prior to his life on Mata Nui, he was Vakama's former mentor and a maskmaker. He was jealous of his former student because Vakama has made finer masks, and was even asked to fill special orders for . He wanted access to the Ta-Metru Great Disk to forge it into the ultimate mask of power, but later thought he could save Metru Nui using the disk and be declared a hero. He was believed by Makuta to be the destined Toa Metru of Fire. His name on Mata Nui was originally thought to be "Nuri", according to the Mata Nui Online Game 2, but the recent release of the Bionicle Encyclopedia Second Edition has no mention of a name change.

Nuhrii was completely red and gray and wore a Noble Ruru mask. Nuhrii most often carried a level 3 remove poison Kanoka Disk, due to the amount of poisonous reptiles in Ta-Metru. He was seen on Mata Nui with a red body, black hands and feet, and a black Great Kaukau mask.

Vakama
Before becoming a Toa Metru, Vakama was a toolmaker. Well liked, he was friends with Jaller and most other Ta-Matoran. Later in his life, Nuhrii taught Vakama all about mask making. However, his former teacher would hold a grudge against him for being a better mask maker than he was, as Vakama became Metru Nui's best maskmaker; so good that "Turaga Dume" (actually Makuta in disguise) personally asked him to make a Vahi Mask of Time. He was given a Toa Stone and witnessed Lhikan being captured by Nidhiki and Krekka. Vakama thought that he was responsible for the incident, even during his Toa years. He later completed the Mask of Time as a Toa.

According to the Bionicles 2: Legends of Metru Nui movie, his colors are orange, golden with brown. He wore a Huna mask (Great-style)

Other Ta-Matoran
Turaga Vakama told tales of a great lava surfer named "Lhii", but in truth Lhii never existed. The stories were loosely based on the exploits of Toa Lhikan, as a way of honoring the fallen hero.

Two unnamed Matoran searched for the Great Refuge of Artakha during the Rahkshi attacks. One was colored black and grey and wore a Noble Komau mask (his coloring would indicate him being an Onu-Matoran, but his dialogue reveals otherwise). The other was variously colored brownish-red, yellow, and tan (making him look somewhat like a Po-Matoran); and he wore a Noble Rau. The two eventually gave up their search, deciding to face their problems rather than hide from them.

Some other Ta-Matoran named in the Mata Nui Online Game 2 are Aft, Agni, Aodhan, Brander, Kalama, Keahi, Maglya, Tiribomba, and Vohon. However, these names have not been approved by LEGO's legal department and therefore may not be official.

Ga-Matoran
Hahli
While Hahli was a humble flax-maker by trade, she was surprisingly elected to the Ga-Matoran kolhii team by . In her training for the tournament, she ended up collecting a set of Charms, which soon unlocked another set of Crystals. Though the purpose of the Crystals is unclear, Hahli's use of them earned her the right to replace Takua as Chronicler (as the latter had become Toa Takanuva). She has since dutifully fulfilled her role, recording the tales the Turaga told of the fall of Metru Nui. At kolhii, Macku was her partner; she has also been good friends with Jaller since shortly before her appointment to the team. She later became the Toa Inika of Water and likes being around Jaller a lot.

She wore a Great Kaukau. She was mostly blue, with some gray.

Kotu
Kotu is a Ga-Matoran Rahi tender, and one of Turaga Nokama's advisors. She is one of Ga-Koro's biggest practical jokers, better than even some Le-Matoran. She was expected to be on the Ga-Koro kolhii team, but Turaga Nokama chose Hahli instead.

She wears a Noble Rau, and has a dark/light blue color scheme.

Macku

Macku loves boating, noted for her canoe and navigational skills. She patrolled the lake daily, excelling in races, becoming Hewkii's best friend and biggest fan. Macku originally went by "Maku" until her name was changed due to her deeds against the Bohrok swarms. She also played on the Ga-Koro kolhii team and was a member of the Chronicler's Company. On Metru Nui, she set up boat races with her teachers' permission, and she also offered tours in her small business dubbed "Macku's Canoes".

Macku wears a Noble Huna, and has light/dark blue color scheme.

Nokama
Nokama was a teacher on Metru Nui; specifically, she taught translation of ancient texts. Vhisola and Hahli were two of her students. Toa Lhikan chose her to become the Toa Metru of Water.

Her exact color scheme is blue, she wore a Rau mask (Great-style).

Vhisola
Nokama instilled a fair amount of admiration in one of her students, Vhisola, who became somewhat obsessed with her teacher, taking records of all her accomplishments. A Ga-Metru athlete and talented researcher, her rivalry with her "best friend" began when she felt Nokama was ignoring her when she went off with other friends. Vhisola wanted the Great Kanoka Disk to become more famous than Nokama. Makuta believed her destiny to be as the Toa Metru of Water.

She will have a major role in Bionicle Legends 11: The Final Battle.

Vhisola wears a Noble Komau. Her colors are blue and gray, and she wields a level 6 freeze Kanoka Disk, allowing her to freeze and cross canals found all over Ga-Metru.

Other Ga-Matoran
Some other Ga-Matoran named in the Mata Nui Online Game 2 are Amaya, Kai, Kailani, Marka, Nireta, Nixie, Okoth, Pelagia, and Shasa. However, these names have not been approved by LEGO's legal department and therefore may not be official.

Le-Matoran
Kongu

Originally a bird wrangler, Kongu rose up to become Captain of the Gukko Force of Le-Koro, where he rode a Gukko bird named Ka. At one point, several of the Le-Matoran, including , were captured by a Nui-Rama swarm and taken to their nest, and he and a few others went to help. Also, when the entire village of Le-Koro, including Matau and Toa Lewa, were corrupted by Krana, Kongu and Tamaru escaped and teamed with several others to help free Le-Koro. He and Tamaru were on the Le-Koro kolhii team. On Metru Nui, he led a less exciting life, as he was one of the Matoran who simply ran the chutes in the Moto-Hub, but he once had the Dark Hunter Nidhiki force him to reverse the flow of one chute to send three escaping Toa Metru right to him. Kongu later became the Toa Inika of Air.

Kongu had a teal Great Miru mask on Mata Nui but was shown in Legends of Metru Nui wearing a Noble Ruru. His colors are light and dark green.

Matau
Matau was a risk-taking transport driver on Metru Nui before becoming a Toa Metru. He often spent his spare time test-driving prototype vehicles on Le-Metru's Test Track. He and Orkahm didn't think much of one another, due to their wildly different personalities.

His colors are green, but he wore a Mahiki mask (Great-style).

Orkahm
Matau's chief rival in Metru Nui was a Matoran named Orkahm. Where Matau was cocky and reckless, Orkahm was responsible and careful. He was an Ussal rider like Matau was, but tended to possess more control. His favorite Ussal crab was . Makuta thought him to be the destined Toa Metru of Air.

In the Mata Nui Online Game 2, his name was spelled "Orkan". He wears a Noble Matatu, and his colors are green and sliver. His favored Kanoka Disk was a level 4 regenerator, which he used to fix chutes.

Tamaru
Tamaru is a Le-Matoran who wishes to fly a Gukko despite his fear of heights; on Metru Nui this fear kept him on the ground as a used vehicle salesman. When most of the village of Le-Koro was kidnapped by Nui-Rama, Tamaru was one of the few who were not. He was later part of the Chronicler's Company, helping Takua to fend off Rahi from the Kini-Nui Temple while the Toa Mata fought Makuta. He was also one of the two Le-Matoran who escaped being possessed by Krana, and also served on the Le-Koro kolhii team.

Other Le-Matoran
Some other Le-Matoran named in the Mata Nui Online Game 2 are Boreas, Kumo, Makani, Sanso, Shu, Taiki, Tuuli, and Vira. However, these names have not been approved by LEGO's legal department and therefore may not be official.

Po-Matoran
Ahkmou
In Metru Nui, Onewa's rival was a Po-Matoran named Ahkmou. Ahkmou is the Matoran Nidhiki chose to help gather the Great Kanoka Disks. Ahkmou is a carver. He carries a level 3 regeneration Kanoka Disk to repair mistakes made while carving. He always sides with whomever he thinks will get him ahead. Unlike the rest of the Matoran, Ahkmou knew of Metru Nui, as he was awakened by Makuta Teridax and not the Turaga, and Makuta filled him in. He would continue to aid Makuta by selling infected koli balls, causing Po-Matoran to get sick until Takua and Pohatu discovered the plot. He has possibly reformed since then; by the time the Rahkshi attack he is the shopkeeper of Po-Koro. Even if he hasn't, he believes Makuta is dead and sees no reason to stay loyal. Makuta believed him to be the destined Toa Metru of Stone.

Ahkmou was originally completely brown, and wore a Noble Rau mask; by the time the Rahkshi attacked, his body had become tan and he switched masks for a black Rau.

After the earthquake that shattered Metru Nui Ahkmou's sphere was strapped on the bottom of the Lhikan II. During a Rahi attack, Ahkmou's sphere fell off and sank to the bottom. Then Makuta Teridax used some of his power to awaken him.

Hafu
It is rumored that Hafu has incredible skill with disks, because they return if thrown correctly. He is also an incredibly talented - and boastful - carver, and is responsible for the statues on the Path of Prophecies. However, he once sacrificed all of his statues to prevent Bohrok] from invading and destroying Po-Koro. Hafu is Hewkii's kolhii partner, and served as part of the Chronicler's Company.

Hafu has a black Noble Ruru mask, though on Metru Nui he is seen with a brown Noble Rau; in the Mata Nui Online Game he was pictured with a Great Pakari.

Hewkii

Hewkii is a champion at the sport of kolhii, and served on the Po-Koro kohlii team. In Metru Nui, he was one of the city's best Kanoka Disk makers. He used to be called "Huki" until he was renamed by the Turaga for his deeds against the Bohrok. He shares a close friendship with Macku of Ga-Koro. He later became the Toa Inika of Stone.

Onewa
Onewa was a carver/builder, and a rival to Ahkmou. He was chosen by Toa Lhikan to be a Toa Metru.

His exact color scheme is brown, but he wore a Komau mask (Great-style).

Other Po-Matoran
Kodan was the Metru Nui Chronicler, and the Matoran who is credited with inventing the sport of Akilini. He began his job as Chronicler when Lhikan and ten other Toa arrived to fight the Kanohi Dragon, and continued for centuries until "" (Makuta in disguise) sent him with two Toa on a mission from which they never returned. The ball that can be made from Pohatu Nuva's Climbing Claws is called a "Kodan Ball" because of its resemblance to the balls used in the earliest forms of Akilini.

Some other Po-Matoran named in the Mata Nui Online Game 2 are Ally, Bour, Epena, Gadjati, Golyo, Kamen, Kivi, Pekka, and Piatra. However, these names have not been approved by LEGO's legal department and therefore may not be official.

Onu-Matoran
Mavrah
Mavrah had always been obsessed with uncovering the secrets of Rahi, and would never let little things like rules or personal safety stand in his way. In studying dormant Bohrok, he came up with the theory that perhaps they had evolved from being biomechanical to being mechanic shells dependent on their Krana. When the Kanohi Dragon attacked Metru Nui, Mavrah thought nothing of the danger but only of the rare specimen he could study. Eventually, Mavrah was teamed with Whenua and Onepu to study sea Rahi discovered in the Archives. After it became obvious the Rahi were too dangerous to be held in the Archives, Turaga Dume ordered the Rahi gone. Mavrah, not wanting to lose his pet project, escaped with the Rahi from Metru Nui. When the Toa Metru encountered him again shortly after the Great Cataclysm, he had become paranoid that Dume wanted him dragged back to the city. The Toa ended up sparking a feeding frenzy in their attempts to escape, and Mavrah disappeared when a tidal wave swept him away.He is persumed dead.

Mavrah is said to have worn a purple Great Pakari like Onepu, though his other colors are unknown.

Nuparu

Nuparu was an Onu-Matoran engineer who has invented many machines for Matorans' security. On Metru Nui he designed the Kralhi and Vahki enforcer robots, though the Kralhi was a spectacular failure (Toa Nuju once taunted Kralhi by calling them "Nuparu's folly"). On Mata Nui when the Bohrok flooded Onu-Koro, Nuparu discovered that they were non-living, and with Onepu's and Taipu's help he modified a Bohrok shell into a Boxor combat vehicle. After the Bohrok invasion he salvaged some scrap to study, but hardly got the chance before he became the Toa Inika of Earth.

Onepu

Onepu is Captain of the Onu-Wahi Ussalry. He worked as an archivist on Metru Nui, and participated in the project with the giant Rahi alongside Whenua and Mavrah. He and Taipu are on the Onu-Koro kolhii team. He used to be the owner of an Ussal Crab named Pewku, who was later Takua's faithful pet.

Onepu wears a purple Kanohi Pakari.

Taipu
Taipu is a miner, and among the strongest Onu-Matoran. Due to his desire to see Le-Wahi, he was captured by the Nui-Rama (and the only one outside of the Le-Matoran to have been kidnapped). He was part of the Chronicler's Company who helped to defend Kini-Nui Temple when the Toa Mata fought Makuta, and also was on the Onu-Koro kolhii team.

In the Mata Nui Online Game, his mask switched with Hafu's, so he had a Noble Ruru and Hafu had a Great Pakari.

Tehutti
One of Whenua's rivals in Metru Nui was Tehutti, an archivist who always wanted a new exhibit to mark his name on. Tehutti's hard head often caused him to forget the most important purposes. He generally used a level 5 teleportation Kanoka Disk to move around the complex Archives. Tehutti had no definite purpose for the Great Kanoka Disk that he found, except maybe to put it on exhibit and achieve recognition for his work. He knew of the Matoran Nui and helped convince the other five Matoran who found Great Disks to join with him, and Makuta was tricked into thinking that he was the correct choice for the Toa Metru of Earth.

On Metru Nui, Tehutti wore a Noble Huna mask; and on Mata Nui he had a Great Kakama mask instead. In the Mata Nui Online Game 2, his name was spelled "Tehuti".

Whenua
Before becoming a Toa Metru, Whenua was an archivist on Metru Nui. He was one of the three Matoran to work on the sea Rahi project, along with Mavrah and Onepu.

His colors are black, but he wore a Ruru mask (Great-style).

Other Onu-Matoran
Some other Onu-Matoran named in the Mata Nui Online Game 2 are Aiyetoro, Akamu, Azibo, Damek, Dosne, Kaj, Mamoru, and Zemya. However, these names have not been approved by LEGO's legal department and therefore may not be official.

Ko-Matoran
Ehrye
Nuju was often hard on Ehrye, an overeager Matoran who hoped to be a scholar and gain a place in Metru Nui's Knowledge Towers by presenting the Head Scholar with a Great Kanoka Disk. Ehrye was seen by Nuju as being too enthusiastic and excitable to be a successful scholar. Ehrye most often carried a level 3 regeneration Kanoka Disk to fix cracks in the towers. Makuta believed him to be the true destined Toa Metru of Ice.

Kopeke
Kopeke is a carver, and is more aloof than most Ko-Matoran due to shyness. He is a champion of the Huai Snowball Sling, and also a member of the Ko-Koro kolhii team. Kopeke was also a member of the Chronicler's Company, which helped the Toa Mata by fending off dangerous Rahi. He has now succeeded Hahli as Chronicler.

When his light blue Noble Komau mask was damaged in kolhii practice, he replaced it with a dark grey Noble Matatu in honor of Turaga Nuju; and when he was rebuilt his hands and feet also became dark grey.

Matoro

Matoro was a Ko-Matoran who translated for ; and learned of Metru Nui through his translation work. He was entrusted by the Turaga to keep what he hears in gatherings a secret. He ran a pet shop in Metru Nui and could be the only ko-motoran to enjoyed a good friendship with the Onu-Matoran. He was on the Ko-Koro kolhii team. He later became the Toa Inika of Ice.He was also the only one who could touch the Mask of Life without getting cursed.

Nuju
Before becoming a Toa Metru, Nuju was an accomplished seer in Metru Nui. Ihu was a mentor to him. Nuju felt that Ehrye was too energetic to make a good scholar.

Nuju appeared to be completely white, and wore a Matatu mask with a telescoping eyepiece (Great-style).

Other Ko-Matoran
Ihu was a Ko-Metru seer who was Nuju's mentor. He died in a chute accident. Mt. Ihu on Mata Nui was named after him, as a reminder of his wisdom to Nuju.

Some other Ko-Matoran named in the Mata Nui Online Game 2 are Arktinen, Jaa, Jaatikko, Kantai, Kokkan, Kylma, Lumi, Pakastaa, Talvi, and Toudu. However, these names have not been approved by LEGO's legal department and therefore may not be official.

Av-Matoran
Takua

Although long thought to be a Ta-Matoran, Takua never really fit in; in truth he was an Av-Matoran with the element of light. He came to Metru Nui from Karda Nui; placed there by the Order of Mata Nui. He was disguised as a Ta-Matoran to hide him from the Brotherhood of Makuta, who feared what light could do to shadow. On Metru Nui, Takua ran a small side business trading souvenirs from different Metru - but he usually wandered off during his normal job to do so, making the Vahki learn to keep an eye on him. While on Metru Nui, Takua did not remember his original homeland and was not aware that he had been anything other than a Ta-Matoran.

A thousand years later, after the Matoran took refuge on Mata Nui, Takua gathered the six Toa Stones created by the Toa Metru, and summoned the Toa Mata. Unfortunately the event caused Takua amnesia. Once the Toa had arrived, the Turaga took advantage of Takua's tendency to wander and made him the Chronicler, observing and writing down the Toa's adventures. Shortly afterwards, he began a quest to create a Chronicler's Company to help the Toa by guarding the Kini-Nui temple while they battled Makuta. During this quest, he befriended an Ussal crab named Pewku, who became his faithful pet. After this, he witnessed the defeat of Makuta and then the awakening of the deadly Bohrok Swarms. Once the Bohrok and Bohrok-Kal were defeated, he was assigned to play for Ta-Koro in an islandwide kolhii tournament.

Just before the kolhii tournament, he found the Avohkii Mask of Light. After the match, when the Turaga learned of the mask, they sent him and his best friend Jaller on a journey through Mata Nui in search of "the Seventh Toa" that it belonged to, only for him to find out that HE was destined to become the Seventh Toa.

While living on Metru Nui, Takua originally had a red body, yellow feet, and a light blue Pakari mask. These are not common colors for Av-Matoran; Takua's armor was made these colors in order to blend in with Metru Nui's Ta-Matoran (though the mask was imperfect, as it never fit Takua properly and blue is not a Ta-Matoran color). When the Matoran later rebuilt themselves on Mata Nui, his hands and feet also became light blue.





Voya Nui Matoran
Mainland

Balta
Balta is a Ta-Matoran inventor who can easily turn discarded equipment into useful devices and weapons. Early in the Piraka's invasion, he was rescued from a death trap by Axonn; he then carried Axonn's warning to the other Matoran that fighting the Toa Nuva was a mistake. He is Garan's best friend and second-in-command, and a close friend to Dalu. He carries twin repellers that can block any attack when crossed.

Dalu
Dalu is a Ga-Matoran warrior and the group's resident muscle; always ready to jump into a fight. Her twin chargers can briefly increase one of an ally's attributes (such as speed, strength, senses, etc.), though this charging tires Dalu out; she can also use her chargers offensively, heightening an enemy's senses until they become unbearable - she even once drove Toa Gali to madness by enhancing her sight until she could see all of existence at the molecular level.

Piruk
The Le-Matoran, Piruk, acts as the group's spy (though rather reluctantly, as he is on the timid side). Sneaking into their stronghold, he was the first to confirm that the Piraka weren't the Toa they claimed to be. He carries two sets of shredder claws, which he often sharpens against each other out of nervous habit, but can dig quickly out of many situations.

Velika
Velika is, like most Po-Matoran, a carver; and a very good one at that, crafting most of the resistance's equipment with Balta including Zamor Launchers for the Toa Inika. He is rather wise, but he tends to speak in riddles, much to Kazi's annoyance. He uses twin power carvers to quickly craft new equipment.

Garan
Garan is an Onu-Matoran, and is the unofficial leader of the resistance. He is usually the first to understand the meaning of Velika's riddles. His pulse bolt generators fire balls of energy that become more powerful the further they travel.

Kazi
Kazi is a Ko-Matoran who tends to be very sarcastic, and is the resistance member that has the least patience with Velika's cryptic sayings. He knew about Axonn's existence long before anyone else did, but kept it a secret at Axonn's request. His weapons are twin echo forks that can be slammed together to create a destructive sound wave.In the Voya Nui Online Game, Kazi is referred to as 'she'.

Other Mainland Matoran
Dezalk is a Ta-Matoran who served as the Piraka's test subject for their Zamor Spheres. He gathered the Voya Nui Matoran together at Zaktan's command, where the Piraka proceeded to enslave the rest of the population (except for the resistance members, who were elsewhere).

Mahri Nui
Defilak
Defilak is a Le-Matoran inventor and scholar, and 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 in order to find out just what was preying on the Matoran, only for it to be destroyed and its crew taken captive by Pridak. After learning a bit of the Barraki, Defilak got away, and has since accepted the aid offered by some Toa that appeared, honoring them with the title "Toa Mahri". He eventually made the decision for the Matoran to abandon their home and rejoin the Voya Nui Matoran. In some time before Mahri Nui, Defilak was a trader; in his contact with other lands he picked up the chutespeak slang of Metru Nui's Le-Matoran.

Defilak is equipped with two electro-blades and an air launcher, and wears a green Great Kualsi.

Dekar
Dekar is a Po-Matoran "Aquahunter" whose job is to bring in food and keep predators away; and he particularly enjoys the time to himself that his job affords. After Kyrehx passed the Mask of Life on to him, he found himself cursed to have all his opponents be immortal. Fearing the mask's power and refusing to let someone else become a victim of the curse, he took the mask and tried to destroy it. After realizing (the hard way) that the mask would use its powers to protect itself, Dekar touched it and was given the knowledge of the entire history of the Mask of Life. Unfortunately, the Barraki soon came and forcibly took the mask from him.

The Mask of Life has since turned Dekar into a duplicate of The Pit's former jailer , Hydraxon, with Dekar's personality and memories laying dormant. However, some of Dekar's opinions have an influence on his new form, particularly his view that the Mask of Life is too dangerous and must be destroyed.

Dekar had two electro-blades and an air launcher. He also wore a yellow Noble Kiril.

Gar
Gar is an Onu-Matoran who is Defilak's best friend. He volunteered to helm Defilak's submarine but was captured by Pridak along with the rest of the crew. After Pridak left with Defilak, Gar offered to sacrifice himself to allow Idris to get to Mahri Nui and warn the Matoran there, even though he barely knew her. This was not needed, as both got to the airweed fields which were occupied by Carapar's Keras crab army. The recently escaped Defilak rescued both and helped the two return to the safety of Mahri Nui.

Idris
Idris is a Ga-Matoran who volunteered to helm Defilak's submarine and was captured by Pridak. After Pridak left with Defilak, Gar and Idris made a run for it, getting to the airweed fields just as their personal air bubbles were wearing out - unfortunately, those fields were occupied by Carapar's Keras crabs. But Defilak had also escaped Pridak, and helped the two return to the safety of Mahri Nui. She has since mutated into a water-breather and joined her friends Sarda and Toa Lesovikk, though how either happened was never described. After helping the two capture Karzahni, they built her a breathing helmet and she joined the rest of the Mahri Nui Matoran in evacuating the city.

Idris wears a blue Great Ruru mask, and her colors are blue and black. She wields an electro-blade, which fires electric bolts but often fails to work. She has also mutated large claws on one hand.

Kyrehx
Kyrehx is a Ga-Matoran sentry assigned to guard the Hydruka pens in case of attack. She was the first to find the Mask of Life, and her curse manifested as local vegetation growing up and attacking her. She quickly passed the Mask of Life off to the first Matoran she met - Dekar - but Takadox soon had her captured, and he hypnotized her into telling him all she had seen. He then had her sent back to Mahri Nui as a kind of trojan horse, though how exactly he planned to use her remains unknown.

Sarda
Sarda is a Ta-Matoran and the fourth crewmember of Defilak's submarine. He tends to be skeptical, questioning the stories of monsters that stalk the sea beyond Mahri Nui. After his capture by Pridak (one of the "monsters"), he was thrown to the Takea sharks; but he was rescued by an old friend - Toa Lesovikk. Unfortunately, the two were soon attacked by Karzahni, which exposed Sarda to the water of the Pit and turned him into a water-breather. Joined by Idris, the three hunted Karzahni down and defeated him. Sarda has since decided to stay with Lesovikk on his journeys.

He wears a red Great Huna mask. His colors are red, and an electro-blade (that only sometimes works). His mutation has caused one hand to grow large claws.

Other Mahri Nui Matoran
Reysa was an Onu-Matoran Hydruka shepherd; he apparently fell victim to the Barraki shortly before the Mask of Life appeared.

An eccentric Le-Matoran scientist had invented the solidified air launchers based on the Hydrukas' defense mechanism. He intended the bubbles to be ridden as transport; but when he launched himself right into a Tarakava and was never seen again, the plans were quickly reworked into weapons.

An unnamed Matoran was also responsible for saving Toa Hahli from drowning when she pursued the Kanohi Ignika into the sea. He lived only long enough to warn the Toa Inika of a threat to Mahri Nui before dying from the change in water pressure (see decompression sickness). According to a web-exclusive comic, he was red (and therefore presumably a Ta-Matoran) with a Noble Kiril mask.

Karda Nui Matoran
Av-Matoran
All Av-Matoran are Gold and white and have the ability to manipulate the light spectrum around them so they can change their color. They have been known to use this ability to hide from the Brotherhood of Makuta. They have also been called Matoran of Light. They continually fight with Makuta Matoran, a type of evil matoran.

Photok
Photok likes to take crazy risks, and wants to prove himself equal to a Toa. Photok has the ability to move at the speed of light when physically linked to a Toa. He is partnered with Toa Pohatu, providing this power and sharing his knowledge.

Solek
Solek was a historian, studying the myths of the Toa that once protected Karda Nui, but he never dreamed of actually fighting alongside them. Armed with twin power blades, he can also create objects out of solid light energy when physically linked to a Toa. He is partnered with Toa Kopaka, providing this power and sharing his knowledge. He is eccentric and cheerful, and determined to be a hero.

Tanma
A sole survivor of a Shadow Leech attack, Tanma was fueled by anger after the invasion, and now seeks revenge. After Kirop was corrupted, Tanma stepped up as the new leader of the Av-Matoran. Like his brethren, he is armed with dual power blades; and he can also act as a living battery for energy weapons when physically linked to a Toa. He is partnered with Toa Lewa, sharing his knowledge and powering his Midak Skyblaster.

Shadow Matoran
Gavla
Gavla has always been a bit full of herself, considering herself better than other Av-Matoran, and she's even worse now that the Brotherhood of Makuta has corrupted her. The first of the Av-Matoran to be corrupted and the leader of the Shadow Matoran, she hates her old people and enjoys getting back at them. Makuta Vamprah has taken her on as a partner so she can act as his eyes; and when together she can cause vertigo and disrupt an enemy's balance.

Kirop
Kirop was originally the leader of the Av-Matoran, but the the Brotherhood of Makuta has since turned him into a Shadow Matoran. As he knew his people very well, this knowledge makes him one of their most dangerous enemies. He dislikes Galva; as he was the leader when he was a Matoran of Light, he thinks he should be the leader of the Shadow Matoran. Makuta Chirox has taken him on as a partner so he can act as his eyes; and when together Kirop can make his enemies blind.

Radiak
Once a great hero among the Av-Matoran, Radiak has been corrupted to serve the darkness. He loves to challenge his former friends to battle, leading them to be ambushed by the Makuta. Makuta Antroz has taken him on as a partner so he can act as his eyes; and when paired together Radiak can make enemies slow and lazy. He has also been altered to have four bladed legs, instead of two legs and two arms.

Vican
Vican is a Le-Matoran corrupted by the Brotherhood of Makuta. Makuta Mutran has taken him on as a partner to assist him in his mutation projects. Like all Shadow Matoran, he can now fire shadow bolts.

Vultraz
Vultraz is a former Ta-Matoran, who discovered Karda Nui but didn't tell the Brotherhood of Makuta about it. He and Mazeka are in Karda Nui, and will have their own story serial in summer 2008.

Mazeka
Mazeka is an Onu-Matoran, who is Vultraz's archenemy. He and Vultraz are in Karda Nui, and will have their own story serial in summer 2008.
