Turaga

Turaga were typically former Toa who had fulfilled their destiny and given up their Toa Power. Unlike Matoran, Turaga could access the powers of Kanohi, but only those of Noble Masks. They also had weak elemental powers.

Turaga of Mata Nui/Metru Nui
The Turaga of Mata Nui were the former toa metru. They were the wise leaders of the Matoran of Mata Nui and the Toa. Each village on Mata Nui had its own Turaga as its leader. Ta-Koro had Vakama, Ga-Koro, Nokama, Le-Koro, Matau, and so on. After retelling the past to the Matoran and Toa Mata, they began the journey back to Metru Nui. They returned to The city of legends and presided over the districts they lived in as Matoran, sharing the power with Turaga Dume.

Turaga Dume
Metru Nui was ruled for many thousands of years by Turaga Dume. His predecessor is unknown. He continued to rule Metru Nui, but had to share power with the other Turaga from Mata Nui.

Turaga Lhikan
Turaga Lhikan, like most turaga, gave up his powers after infusing it into Toa Stones for the next generation. Sadly the legendary hero lived a short life after becoming a Turaga for after teachig the Toa Metru, he was killed by Makuta Teridax after saving Vakama by leaping in the path of a shadow energy bolt.

Turaga Jovan
On the Southern Continent, Jovan led the area known as Voya Nui after he transformed into a Turaga. He ruled this are that held some of Karzhini's poor matoran workers. Jovan held this postition for roughly 87,000 years. He was killed after the pilot structure of Mata Nui malfunctioned, causing the robot that Jovan's team had worked so hard to protect to crash into the watery surface of a nearby planet. Although of the Matoran survived, the legendary Turaga did not.

Turaga Takanuva
Turaga Takanuva was the ruler of The Kingdom in an altenate universe. Ironically Takanuva met himself as a toa, or he met himself as a turaga, depending on which universe one came from.

Unknown Turaga
A Turaga once ruled over the village where Sarda originally lived, but he went insane and shipped the Matoran to Karzhani. This Turaga was one of the first Turaga, and so had never been a Toa or Matoran before.
