Matoro

Matoran
Durring his time on Metru Nui, Matoro ran a Rahi shop called Matoro's Pets.

As a Matoran on Mata Nui, Matoro interpreted Nuju's Rahi bird language. Matoro had been to some of the most confidential of the Turaga's meetings and was told not to tell anyone. True to his word, Matoro kept everything secret, even when friends asked. Matoro went with Jaller to rescue the Toa Nuva. Also,in a dark realm, Matoro helped someone up, thinking it to be one of the other Matoran. But it wasn't, and as he was about to look at whose hand he was holding, it slipped away. The figure was in fact, a figure of the Mask of Life's power.

Toa Inika
Matoro was sometimes unsure just what he is doing as a Toa - after all, he was not an athlete or a warrior or an inventor, he was a translator. Strange things had happened to him ever since he left Metru Nui to go to Voya Nui, leading him to think some unknown destiny is waiting for him here. In the meantime, he was testing the limits of his powers and slowly gaining confidence in his new role.

Toa Mahri
The Toa Inika ventured down to Mahri Nui to find the MoLi and were transformed into the Toa Mahri. Matoro then began to slowly take control of the team, much to Jaller's displeasure.

Powers and Abilities
As a Toa of Ice, Matoro could create, control, and absorb frost and cold, as well as other things.

Inika: Because of his transformation, Matoro's ice powers were always combined with lightning. This ment he could both freeze and electrifie an opponent (like he did with Piraka Vezok).

Mahri: After the MoLi's plee for help (in the form of a great burst of light) Matoro's powers and mask returned to normal Toa levels.

Mask and Tools
Inika: Matoro's mask was the Kanohi Iden, which allowed his spirit to leave his body and fly through solid objects. Though effective, it also ment nobody could see or hear him.

As a Toa Inika, Matoro's weapons of choice were his Energized Ice Sword and multi-shot Zamor Launcher.

Mahri: Toa Mahri Matoro's Kanohi mask was the Tryna. This mask could create artificial life in a dead being. The resulting "zombies" would serve whoever controled the mask.

After being changed, Matoro's weapons was his Twin Cutter and Cordak Blaster.

Trivia

 * Jaller is currently slightly annoyed with Matoro due to the fact that he is slowly gaining control over the team. Since he is destined to hold onto the Mask of Life, he is becoming an important Team member and therefore is gradually taking over as Team Leader.


 * One reason why he was taking over as the leader is that he felt guilty for losing the Mask of Life right after he removed it from Vezon.


 * Matoro was the first Toa of Ice to wear a symmetrical Kanohi as his primary mask.


 * Matoro was the first Matoran to appear in a fully canonical story source.


 * Matoro was chosen by the Ignika to be its guardian, and as such he was immune to its curse.
