Onu-Matoran

Onu-Matoran were cave-dwelling Matoran with miniscule control of the Element Earth. They mainly wore black and grey colored armor, but some have been seen with shades of tan, orange, and purple armor. As Matoran of Earth they spent most of their lives underground. As a result of this, their eyes had adapted to function in little light. This meant that they were easily blinded by bright lights. Onu-Matoran also tended to put their faith in the past and what could be learned from it. The main Onu-Matoran virtues were Unity, Duty and Destiny, and the principle they get from the virtues is Prosperity. In Metru Nui, Onu-Matoran started out as miners before moving their way up to working in the Archives. On Mata Nui, Protodermis and lightstone mining was their main occupation. They also had the Ussalry — a defense force that rode Ussal crabs as their steeds. Onu-Matoran were also known for their strength and durability.
