Vakama
"Voiced by: Christopher Gaze (Turaga Vakama), Alessandro Juliani (Toa Metru/Toa Hordika Vakama)" The Turaga of Fire and the leader of both Ta-Koro and the Turaga, Vakama is known for his wisdom and kind, encouraging attitude with the Matoran. Having led Ta-Koro since its founding, Vakama helped the Ta-Koro guard defend their village using his mask and elemental powers before the arrival of Tahu. On the Toa's arrival, he investigated Tahu's canister, and later stopped the Ta-Koro guard from attacking Tahu before taking him and Takua to Ta-Koro and explaining the history of the Matoran and the purpose of the Toa. After aiding Tahu in his search for Kanohi, Vakama asked Takua to gather a group to protect the six Toa from being trapped underneath the Kini-Nui by the Rahi while they confronted Teridax. Towards the end of the battle, Vakama and the other Turaga emerged and combined to form the Turaga Nui to tear through the horde of Rahi. Afterward, Vakama spoke with Takua after the Matoran’s long journey and calmed him after witnessing the awakening of the first Bohrok.

After the Bohrok's first attack on Ta-Koro, Vakama explained the Bohrok to the Toa and the nature of Krana after they claimed a Kohrak's Krana-Ca, claiming to have learnt it from a prophecy from the Mangaia volcano. Later, following the Toa's transformation into Toa Nuva, Vakama was given the Noble Kanohi masks that Tahu had collected, as he had no further use for them. Shortly before the arrival of the Bohrok-Kal, Vakama gave Tahu the Vahi, Legendary Mask of Time, to be used only as a absolute last resort. He was also able to identify the Bohrok-Kal, and when Tahu's Nuva Symbol was stolen, Vakama and the other Turaga began using their elemental powers to combat the Bohrok-Kal, before eventually falling into the Canyon of Shadow, claimed by Makuta, while helping the Toa Nuva collect Kanohi Nuva, where they encountered the Rahi Nui. The Turaga were able to make the Rahi Nui recognise their voices, which made it fly into a rage and be distracted for long enough for the Toa Nuva to create a new Toa Seal to seal away the Rahi Nui.

When the Mask of Light was discovered, Vakama and the other Turaga "translated" the inscriptions on the mask and gave Jaller, the apparent herald of the seventh Toa, the task of locating the Toa of Light. Upon realising that the writing was in modern Matoran language rather than the ancient dialect that they claimed, the Toa Nuva decided to question the Turaga for answers once the seventh Toa was found. Following Jaller's death and Takua's transformation into Takanuva, Vakama visited the mourning Toa of Light and encouraged him to complete his destiny. He later appeared to help the inhabitants of Mata Nui combine their hope and memories of Takua together to revive Takanuva. As they looked over the ruined Metru Nui, the Turaga finally decided to reveal the past, with Vakama shocking the Ta-Matoran by revealing that he was once one of them.

History of Vakama
1,000 years ago, Vakama was once an apprentice smelter of Kanohi masks trained by Nuhrii. However, Vakama soon surpassed his mentor in skill and became known as the greatest crafter in Metru Nui, being given his own forge, which quickly made Nuhrii jealous of his former student's accomplishments. When Makuta, disguised as Turaga Dume, gave him the assignment to create the Mask of Time, Vakama worked day and night attempting to fashion it, even asking Nuhrii to help him, but was unable to create such a powerful mask. As he struggled to find the correct disks for the project, Lhikan, the sole Toa of Metru Nui, entered his forge and gifted him the final Toa Stone. The Dark Hunters Nidhiki and Krekka arrived and a battle ensued, during which Krekka captured Vakama and held him above a pit of molten Protodermis. Although Lhikan surrendered to protect the Matoran, Krekka attempted to throw Vakama into the pit regardless, with Lhikan managing to save Vakama by kicking his Lavaboard beneath the Matoran, sending him flying from the battle. After Lhikan's capture, Vakama blamed himself for the incident. That night, Vakama broke into the Great Temple and met five other Matoran gifted with Toa Stones - Nokama, Onewa, Matau, Whenua and Nuju. Introducing themselves to each other, the Matoran placed their Toa Stones into the Toa Suva, causing it to release six individual beams of energy that dispersed into the Matoran, transforming them into Toa.

After examining their new bodies, the new-born Toa Metru each selected a Toa Tool from the Toa Suva. Vakama chose an upgraded Disk Launcher, a weapon that reminded him of the Matoran life which he had been comfortable with, despite being ridiculed by Matau, who saw it as an oversized Matoran tool. While the other Toa admired their new forms, Vakama received a vision of Metru Nui being destroyed by the Morbuzakh, a vicious, destructive plant that had appeared recently in the city, then saw the city restored as six Great Disks flew over him and killed the Morbuzakh. He learned the names of the Matoran who knew where the disks were located: Vhisola, Tehutti, Ahkmou, Orkahm, Ehrye, and his old mentor Nuhrii. Though some of the other Toa Metru doubted the vision, Nokama insisted the premonition could be true and that by obtaining the disks the Toa could stop the Morbuzakh, proving that they were worthy Toa. As such, they split up to each hunt down one of the missing Matoran, with Vakama going to Ta-Metru to find and rescue Nuhrii.

Following his visions and directions from the Ta-Matoran, Vakama was able to find and rescue Nuhrii from the Morbuzakh, in the process being directed to the Great Disk of Ta-Metru, which he had to recover from the Fire Pits while directly fighting against the Morbuzakh. After acquiring all six Great Disks, the twelve Matoran and Toa, having elected Vakama as their leader, travelled to the Great Furnace to destroy the Morbuzakh once and for all, where the Matoran formed a Matoran Nui and held off the Morbuzakh for long enough for the Toa Metru to use the power of the Great Disks to slay the giant monstrous plant by cutting off its energy source.

Equipment and Abilities of Vakama
Vakama, as a Matoran, wore a red and silver Humble Kanohi Huna in Great Shape, which later became a powered Great Huna when he became a Toa, and used a Firestaff to help him create Kanohi, which he kept even as a Toa. He also acquired a upgraded Disk Launcher that he used as his main weapon, being able to channel his fire powers through it, fire disks with greater accuracy, and even use as a jetpack to fly and avoid attacks. When he was mutated into a Toa Hordika, his Huna fused to his face and he lost access to its power, and his elemental powers were severely restricted, primarily being channelled through a Rhotuka Launcher he gained on his back. Vakama's Disk Launcher fused to his arms into two retractable Blazer Claws, which he could use to create blades of solid fire, control his elemental powers, create a beacon to call heat-attracted Rahi to aid him, and charge up his Rhotuka. He also acquired and used a Combat Staff as a secondary weapon. When Vakama was transformed back into a Toa by Keetongu, he lost the Rhotuka Launcher and he left the Combat Staff behind in a safe in the Coliseum. He reacquired his Disk Launcher, but shortly afterwards, the Disk Launcher was destroyed by the Shadowed One as Makuta and the Toa Metru fought him for the Vahi. When Vakama became a Turaga, his Great Huna became a Noble Huna and his Firestaff became larger and more powerful, which he then used as a walking stick and weapon, able to use the Firestaff to create bursts of light to stun enemies.

As a Ta-Matoran, Vakama possessed the same immense resistance to heat and enhanced intelligence as other Ta-Matoran. When he became a Toa Metru, he gained full control over the element of Fire, being able to create and absorb heat and flame and manipulate fire in any way he wished. When Vakama was mutated into a Toa Hordika, these powers were greatly weakened, only able to be used via a Rhotuka, his Blazer Claws, or through his Combat Staff, although these powers returned fully when he was cured. Shortly afterwards, when he became a Turaga, these abilities were reduced, although he is still able to create, control and absorb heat and flame. Vakama was also uniquely gifted with visions as a Matoran and Toa, an ability he kept hidden from others as he viewed them as unnatural even though the visions were instrumental in the Toa Metru's quest to save the city. As a Toa Hordika, these visions were weakened due to his bestial state, although when he was cured they returned. When he became a Turaga, these vision powers became far stronger, more so than the other Turaga's new visionary abilities, and he used these to save Ta-Koro on multiple occasions.

Nokama
"Voiced by: Tabitha St. Germain"

Onewa
"Voiced by: Dale Wilson (Turaga Onewa), Brian Drummond (Toa Metru/Toa Hordika Onewa)" The Turaga of Stone and the leader of Po-Koro, Onewa is known for his calmness, fairness and ability to remain brave in the face of danger, earning him the nickname of "The Referee" among the Po-Matoran.

Matau
"Voiced by: Micheal Dobson (Turaga Matau), Brian Drummond (Toa Metru/Toa Hordika Matau)" The Turaga of Air and the leader of Le-Koro, Matau is highly respected among his people for his calm, easygoing attitude and sense of humour, playing pranks on the other Turaga and teaching the Le-Matoran to play music and hold their spirits high. Despite this, he knows when to be serious, and is shown to be unwilling to send a Matoran on a mission he himself would be uncomfortable doing. Having led Le-Koro since its founding, Matau helped the Gukko Force defend their village using his mask and elemental powers before the arrival of Lewa. On the Toa's arrival, he investigated Lewa's canister, only to be kidnapped by the Nui-Rama alongside the rest of his village and enslaved in their hive. After the other five Toa arrived to battle against the infected Lewa, Matau, upon being freed by Tahu, helped them in battle by using his own Air powers to combine with the other five Toa's powers to cleanse the infected masks of the Nui-Rama and then provided a distraction for Onua to surprise attack Lewa and remove his infected mask. Matau then returned to Le-Koro alongside the other Le-Matoran via the Gukko Birds and Nui-Rama under the control of Lewa's Komau. Towards the end of the battle for Kini-Nui, Matau and the other Turaga emerged and combined to form the Turaga Nui to tear through the horde of Rahi. Afterwards, Matau led the celebrations following the Toa Mata's first defeat of Makuta.

When the Bohrok awakened, the Lehvak quickly arrived and conquered Le-Koro, despite the attempts to defend it by Matau and his villagers. Matau 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 assisted in capturing and enslaving Lewa, but Kongu and Tamaru were able to escape and alert the other villages, leading to Matau and the Le-Matoran being freed by Takua, Tamaru, Kongu and the Onu-Matoran in Nuparu's Boxor machines. Matau led the Le-Matoran in repairing their village and fighting against the Bohrok. Later, when the Bohrok-Kal awakened and Lewa's Nuva Symbol was stolen, Matau and the other Turaga began using their elemental powers to combat the Bohrok-Kal, before eventually falling into the Canyon of Shadow, claimed by Makuta, while helping the Toa Nuva collect Kanohi Nuva, where they encountered the Rahi Nui. The Turaga were able to make the Rahi Nui recognise their voices, which made it fly into a rage and be distracted for long enough for the Toa Nuva to create a new Toa Seal to seal away the Rahi Nui.

When the Mask of Light was discovered, Matau and the other Turaga "translated" the inscriptions on the mask and gave Jaller, the apparent herald of the seventh Toa, the task of locating the Toa of Light. Upon realising that the writing was in modern Matoran language rather than the ancient dialect that they claimed, the Toa Nuva decided to question the Turaga for answers once the seventh Toa was found. Matau led the Turaga and Matoran down into Mangaia to witness the battle between Takanuva and Makuta, and afterwards helped the inhabitants of Mata Nui combine their hope and memories of Takua together to revive Takanuva. As they looked over the ruined Metru Nui, the Turaga finally decided to reveal the past, with Matau shocking the Le-Matoran by revealing that he was once one of them.

History of Matau
1,000 years ago, Matau was a test driver of prototype vehicles under the eye of Orkahm, who was always critical of his reckless attitude. He was also a airship pilot, occasionally taking his friend Tamaru on trips to help him overcome his fear of heights. One day, as he tested a prototype Moto-Sled, it broke and Toa Lhikan stopped his fall, then handed him a green stone. Matau took the stone to the Great Temple, where he met five other Matoran, one from each of the other districts. The Matoran placed their stones in the Suva at the center of the temple, and were transformed into the Toa Metru. Of the Toa, Matau was the most ecstatic about becoming a Toa, and selected a pair of blades called the Aero Slicers from the Toa Suva. Following Vakama's vision, Matau was conscripted with finding his supervisor, who knew the location of one of the Great Disks.

Equipment and Abilities of Matau
Matau, as a Matoran, wore a green and silver Humble Kanohi Mahiki in Great Shape, which later became a powered Great Mahiki when he became a Toa. He selected from the Toa Suva a pair of blades called the Aero Slicers, which could be used for melee combat, channelling his air powers, and could even be attached to his back to be used as glider wings and rotors. When he was mutated into a Toa Hordika, his Mahiki fused to his face and he lost access to its power, and his elemental powers were severely restricted, primarily being channelled through a Rhotuka Launcher he gained on his back. Matau's Aero Slicers fused to his arms into the retractable Fang Blades, which could be used to slice through Visorak webbing, enable limited gliding by spinning around rapidly, emit a ultrasonic hum to call land-based Rahi to help him in battle, and charge up his Rhotuka. When Matau was transformed back into a Toa by Keetongu, he lost the Rhotuka Launcher but regained his Kanohi and Aero Slicers, and he left the Combat Staff behind in a safe in the Coliseum. When Matau became a Turaga, his Great Mahiki became a Noble Mahiki and his Aero Slicers combined together into the Kau-Kau Staff, a staff with a buzzsaw on the end which he used as a walking stick and weapon, being able to cut down trees and slice through webbing with it.

As a Le-Matoran, Matau possessed the same enhanced agility and reflexes as other Le-Matoran. When he became a Toa Metru, he gained full control over the element of Air, being able to create and absorb air and manipulate it in any way he wished, from trapping enemies in a vacuum to creating a tornado. When Matau was mutated into a Toa Hordika, these powers were greatly weakened, only able to be used via a Rhotuka, his Fang Blades, or through his Combat Staff, although these powers returned fully when he was cured. Shortly afterwards, when he became a Turaga, these abilities were reduced, although he is still able to create, control and absorb air. In addition to this, when he became a Turaga, Matau, who had frequently joked about Vakama's vision powers, ironically gained the power of visions himself, using this ability, under the guise of him receiving prophecies from the Temple of Faith, to save Le-Koro on several occasions.

Whenua

Nuju
"Voiced by: Trevor Devall (speaking), Frank Welker (animal sounds)"

Takua/Takanuva
"Voiced by: Jason Michas" A mysterious Matoran, believed to be a Ta-Matoran, notorious for his bizarre behaviour and ever-curious attitude, Takua was the first Matoran who Tahu met upon his arrival to Mata Nui, and accompanied him to Ta-Koro, where they met the Ta-Matoran and Turaga Vakama. Having the same amnesia as the Toa, Takua learnt from Vakama that he was the one who summoned the Toa Mata to the island via gathering the Toa Stones, in the process losing his memories after being thrown from Kini-Nui to the Lhikan Beach.

"Voiced by: Todd Haberkorn"

Kongu
"Voiced by: Vic Mignogna"

Hahli
"Voiced by: Laura Bailey"

Matoro
"Voiced by: Tom Holland" A Ko-Matoran known for his friendly and helpful attitude, contrasting the anti-socialness common among the Ko-Matoran, Matoro was on Metru Nui Nuju's best friend and enjoyed a good relationship with the Onu-Matoran, a rarity due to the differences in beliefs about the past and future that the Onu-Matoran and Ko-Matoran had. He often visited the Onu-Metru Archives, studying the language and behaviour of Rahi, and ran a small business called "Matoro's Rahi," selling small Rahi that were rejected from the Archives to other Matoran as pets. He was among the first Matoran to learn of the existence of the Toa Metru and one of the few to side with them after Makuta, disguised as Turaga Dume, prosecuted them, in particular being the one to deliver the now Toa Nuju his Toa Disk after it was fashioned by Brander. Like all the other Ko-Matoran, he was summoned to the Coliseum and forced into a Matoran Sphere, compressing him into a smaller and weaker form and stripping him of all his memories. Nuju was unable to find his Matoran Sphere during the Toa Metru's raid on the Coliseum basement and instead was forced to take Kopeke with him, while Matoro's sphere, hidden on another level, was left behind. However, during the Visorak occupation, shortly following the Toa Metru's mutation into Toa Hordika, Matoro's Matoran Sphere was accidently dislodged and fell from the Coliseum, falling down to Ko-Metru and landing in the path of a power plant. When Nuju and Kualus later turned it on, the sphere was imbued with the immense power of the station, destroying the plant but awakening Matoro from his imprisonment. Confused and terrified, he ran through the district before being captured by a mutated Kikanalo and rescued by Nuju, who took him with him around the destroyed Metru Nui as he explained his past and purpose to the amnesiac Matoran. Following the Hordika's capture of the Tower of Toa, Matoro stayed at the tower until the Visorak horde was defeated, occasionally being visited by the Toa and Rahagah and learning the same language Kualus taught Nuju. Following the rescue of the remaining Matoran, Matoro was chosen by Nuju to be his right hand Matoran and translator, as Nuju no longer wished to speak any language other than that of the birds. He then piloted the Airships while the Toa Metru went to recover the Mask of Time, and was present as the Toa sacrificed their Toa Power to awaken the Matoran, becoming Turaga.

After assisting in the construction of Ko-Koro, Matoro served as Nuju's translator and interpreter, following the meaning of the Turaga's movements and tones. He also developed a love of exploring the drifts, leaving behind small flags so he would not get lost.

Equipment and Abilities of Matoro
Matoro, as a Matoran, originally wore a light blue Humble Kanohi Iden in Noble Shape, but the mask was destroyed when he was forcefully awakened from his Matoran Sphere by the Ko-Metru Power Plant's destruction and replaced with a cyan Humble Kanohi Akaku in Great Shape, which originally had silver markings but turned fully cyan after the poorly-painted markings faded away from exposure to the sun while on Mata Nui. During the Visorak occupation of Metru Nui, he used a Disk Launcher, loaded with whatever Kanoka he could find, to defend himself against the Visorak. This Disk Launcher was left with the Toa Hordika's Combat Staffs when he and the Toa Metru left to Mata Nui, and he instead used a Bamboo Disk and Staff of Ice to fight against infected Rahi and later Bohrok. He also was given a Kolhii Staff as a member of Ko-Koro's Kolhii team, and brought it and a Sanctum Guard pickaxe with him as the future Toa Inika travelled to find the Toa Nuva, but these tools were taken from him by Karzahni and his followers when he was captured by them.

Following his transformation into a Toa, Matoro later acquired a Energised Ice Sword, a sword infused with lightning energy. This weapon is primarily used for melee combat and channelling his elemental powers, and can also be used to charge an object with his combination of ice and lightning. He also acquired a Power Shield, a shield infused with similar energy that is able to protect him and his allies against attacks. His Kanohi Akaku was replaced by a Humble Kanohi Iden when he was captured by Karzahni, but he reacquired his original mask during the escape. During his transformation from the Red Star, his Kanohi Iden became a unique organic Great Iden, and his original Humble Akaku became a Noble Akaku.

Makuta Teridax
"Voiced by: Lee Tockar" The central antagonist of the franchise,

The Bohrok Swarms
The main antagonistic force of the fourth and fifth seasons of The Tales of the Toa, the Bohrok are a race of mysterious insectoid machines that function under the control of Krana, small organic mask-like creatures that can assimilate Matoran, Turaga and even Toa under their will when latched onto their faces, although without a Krana a Bohrok will be unable to function. Unlike infected Masks, which drew them to the source of mind control, all Rahi fear and avoid Krana, as they can naturally sense that something is amiss. Krana come in eight different breeds - Xa ("Swarm Commander", allows enhanced intelligence and complicated planning), Za ("Squad Leader", allows telepathy and mind-reading to command squads), Vu ("Surveyor", allows levitation and limited flight), Ca ("Defender", allows projection of energy shields around other Bohrok), Yo ("Worker", allows enhanced digging and usage of elemental powers), Ja ("Scout", allows enhanced speed and a long-distance radar sense), Su ("Heavy Fighter", allows enhanced strength and stamina), and Bo ("Sentinel", allows enhanced accuracy and infrared vision).

Bohrok possess limited intelligence, being capable of making vocal noises and a handful of understandable words (mostly "DIE!", "DESTROY!" and their recurring "CLEAN IT ALL!", the only full sentence they can speak), and driven entirely by their desire to completely destroy everything on Mata Nui. They possess extendable necks that allow them to thrust their heads forward to chip away at obstacles in a jackhammer-like fashion, knock enemies over, or fling their Krana onto the faces of attackers. For travel, the Bohrok can compress their bodies into a spherical form, a form they also take while lying dormant inside the Bohrok nest. In this form they can roll across the ground at high velocity and, when fitted with Krana Vu, fly short distances. They are also capable of forming Kaita similar to the Matoran, Toa and Turaga, and can channel their specific element or power through a pair of shields which every Bohrok carries. The six breeds approach their objectives in different ways and are aided by corresponding Bohrok Va.

Believed to be possibly extra-terrestrial in origin, the Bohrok lay dormant beneath the surface of Mata Nui before being awakened by the energy feedback generated when Makuta Teridax was first defeated by the Toa Mata, whereupon they proceeded to the surface to destroy the island. After many battles against the Matoran, Toa and Turaga, the Bohrok were rendered inert after the defeat of the Bahrag and the transformation of the Toa Mata into the Toa Nuva. The remaining Bohrok were then reprogrammed to help the Matoran rebuild their villages, while the Krana were dumped into a sealed pit. The Bohrok and Bohrok Va later returned to their nests after the Bohrok-Kal completed the Nuva Cube, but were later released and rejoined the Matoran after the Bohrok-Kal were defeated.

Ta-Matoran
Ta-Matoran are the Matoran of Fire, a loyal and industrious tribe known for the unbridled passion they put into everything they create. Primarily wearing red, orange, yellow and black armour, Ta-Matoran generally work as soldiers and engineers, as well as mask makers on Metru Nui and farmers on Mata Nui. They all possess a natural affinity to warmer climates, and value Duty the most out of the Three Virtues, from which they derive their Principle of Courage and the Skill of Strength. Due to their dormant Elemental Fire Energy, Ta-Matoran possess immense resistance to heat, to the extent where they can swim in lava for a few seconds, and are better at mathematics and practical thought than other Matoran types.

Kapura
"Voiced by: Stephanie Ann Nadolny" A eccentric and purposeful member of the Ta-Koro Guard and Turaga Vakama's left-hand Matoran, Kapura is known for being physically slow, yet capable of suddenly appearing in unexpected locations when other Matoran do not look at him. Practising this power in the Charred Forest outside Ta-Koro, he became skilled in the art, saying that he simply has to focus upon where he is not, and soon enough he will find himself there, the mechanisms behind and range of this power being unknown. His slow and deliberate way always remain true to his purpose and he is surprisingly thoughtful, contributing simple but profound wisdom from time to time. During the Toa Mata's quest for their Kanohi masks, he would frequently appear beside them, often relaying messages back to the Koros or congratulating them whenever they found a new mask. He was the first Matoran to agree to accompany Takua to defend Kini-Nui, using his power to locate other Matoran who were willing to join them, and later assisted in the battle for Kini-Nui, holding off the Rahi for long enough for the Toa Mata to defeat Makuta for the first time. He later assisted in the defence of the Koros against the Bohrok and the attempted defence of Ta-Kini against the Bohrok-Kal, and was present when the inhabitants of Mata Nui pooled their hope together to resurrect Takanuva in Mangaia.

On Metru Nui, Kapura used to be a worker in Ta-Metru who helped control the Vats. He was the first to encounter and report the Morbuzakh when it attacked a plant he was working at. During the Morbuzakh's reign of terror over Ta-Metru, he volunteered to scout abandoned areas of Ta-Metru for any artifacts and objects he could salvage. He was among the first Matoran to learn of the existence of the Toa Metru and one of the few to side with them after Makuta, disguised as Turaga Dume, prosecuted them. Like all the other Ta-Matoran, he was summoned to the Coliseum and forced into a Matoran Sphere, but was rescued by the Toa Hordika and brought to Mata Nui to be reawakened when the Toa Metru became Turaga, in the process losing all his memories and being compressed into a smaller and weaker form before being rebuilt into his original form after the defeat of the Bohrok-Kal.

Kapura originally wore a Humble red Kanohi Pakari in Noble shape with silver stripes, but this was broken during his transportation to Mata Nui and replaced with a Humble red Kanohu Ruru in Noble shape. While working on Metru Nui, he used a Disk Launcher, preferring to use Ta-Metru Teleportation Kanoka, to defend himself against the Morbuzakh. On Mata Nui, he used a Bamboo Disk and Staff of Fire to fight against infected Rahi and later Bohrok.

Ga-Matoran
Ga-Matoran are the Matoran of Water, a empathetic and peaceful tribe known for their ability to diplomatically negotiate with other tribes. Primarily wearing various shades of blue and silver armour, Ga-Matoran generally work as fishers and crafters, as well as teachers on Metru Nui and sailors on Mata Nui. They all possess a natural affinity to partially aquatic regions, and value Unity the most out of the Three Virtues, from which they derive their Principle of Purity and the Skill of Speed. Due to their dormant Elemental Water Energy, Ga-Matoran possess enhanced aquatic skills, being able to swim better and hold their breath for longer than other Matoran, and very limited healing abilities.

Macku
"Voiced by: Cheramei Leigh" The left-hand Matoran of Turaga Nokama and a Attendant and Rahi Tender, Macku is known for her adventurous and courageous attitude, as well as her rebellious streak. She has a very affectionate relationship with Hewkii, frequently meeting with him outside of Ga-Koro without telling the Turaga and decorating her home with merchandise of him, as he does also. The Ga-Matoran who first met Gali and introduced her to Ga-Koro, Macku was deeply saddened by Hewkii's infection by the Comet Balls, and personally thanked Takua and Hafu after they helped Pohatu destroy the Comet Balls. She later joined Takua's group on their quest to Kini-Nui, using her canoe to help them travel across a large body of water, and assisted in the battle for Kini-Nui, holding off the Rahi for long enough for the Toa Mata to defeat Makuta for the first time. Later, during the Bohrok invasion, Macku worked with Hewkii to defend Ga-Koro from the Pahrak, with Hewkii saving her life with a well-timed parry against a thrown rock, and Macku returning the favour by pulling out Hewkii when he was drowning. She later assisted in the attempted defence of Ga-Kini against the Bohrok-Kal, and was present when the inhabitants of Mata Nui pooled their hope together to resurrect Takanuva in Mangaia.

On Metru Nui, Macku used to be a student of Nokama before moving on to be a guide for Archivists at sea. She ran a small business named Macku's Canoes, where she gave tours to Matoran and ferried them across the Silver Sea to where they were needed. She was also notable the Matoran to discover Dermis Turtles during one of her expeditions. She was among the first Matoran to learn of the existence of the Toa Metru and one of the few to side with them after Makuta, disguised as Turaga Dume, prosecuted them. Like all the other Ga-Matoran, she was summoned to the Coliseum and forced into a Matoran Sphere, but was rescued by the Toa Hordika and brought to Mata Nui to be reawakened when the Toa Metru became Turaga, in the process losing all her memories and being compressed into a smaller and weaker form before being rebuilt into her original form after the defeat of the Bohrok-Kal.

Macku wears a Humble blue Kanohi Huna in Noble shape, which originally had silver markings on the top while she lived in Metru Nui, but turned fully blue after the poorly-painted markings faded away from exposure to the sun while on Mata Nui. While working on Mata Nui, she wielded a Bamboo Disk and Staff of Water to fight against infected Rahi and later Bohrok.

Tamaru
"Voiced by: Bryce Papenbrook" The left-hand Matoran of Turaga Matau and a notoriously excitable and fast-talking Le-Matoran, to the point where even his fellow Le-Matoran have difficulty understanding him at times, Tamaru is unique among the "high-flying" Le-Matoran due to his crippling fear of heights, which prevents him from joining the Gukko Force and sets him as the leader of the Rahi Tenders of Le-Koro, as well as a Kolhii player. Conversely, he is ironically the only Le-Matoran to be a good swimmer. During the Nui-Rama's attack on Le-Koro, Tamaru was the only Le-Matoran present to avoid being captured besides Kongu, who was out with Lewa, and helped Lewa, Kongu and Takua rescue Taipu and several Le-Matoran, who used their music to distract the Nui-Rama for long enough for Kongu and Takua to breach the Nui-Rama nest and witness the battle of Turaga Matau and the other five Toa Mata against the infected Lewa. He later joined Takua's group, using his knowledge of the jungles of Mata Nui to help find shortcuts to Kini-Nui, and later assisted in the battle for Kini-Nui, holding off the Rahi for long enough for the Toa Mata to defeat Makuta for the first time. He later assisted in the defence of the Koros against the Bohrok and the attempted defence of Le-Kini against the Bohrok-Kal, and was present when the inhabitants of Mata Nui pooled their hope together to resurrect Takanuva in Mangaia.

On Metru Nui, Tamaru wished to become a airship pilot, but his fear of heights prevented him from achieving his dream and lead to him becoming a airship repair mechanic, occasionally being taken on trips by his friend Matau to help him overcome his fear of heights. He was among the first Matoran to learn of the existence of the Toa Metru and one of the few to side with them after Makuta, disguised as Turaga Dume, prosecuted them, in particular being the one to deliver the now Toa Matau his Toa Disk after it was fashioned by Brander. Like all the other Le-Matoran, he was summoned to the Coliseum and forced into a Matoran Sphere, but was rescued by the Toa Hordika and brought to Mata Nui to be reawakened when the Toa Metru became Turaga, in the process losing all his memories and being compressed into a smaller and weaker form before being rebuilt into his original form after the defeat of the Bohrok-Kal.

Tamaru wears a Humble lime Kanohi Rau in Noble shape, which originally had silver markings on the top while he lived in Metru Nui, but turned fully lime after the poorly-painted markings faded away from exposure to the sun while on Mata Nui. On Mata Nui, he used a Bamboo Disk and Staff of Air to fight against infected Rahi and later Bohrok.

They all possess a natural affinity to colder locations, and value Destiny the most out of the Three Virtues, from which they derive their Principle of Peace and the Skill of Willpower. Due to their dormant Elemental Ice Energy, Ko-Matoran possess immense resistance to cold, to the extent where they can be frozen solid for several minutes and be completely unharmed upon being unfrozen, and are generally more intelligent and better at philosophical thought than other Matoran types.
