Le-Matoran

Le-Matoran are in shades of green, and occasionally turquoise blue. These air Matoran have the hightened agility and reflexes needed to avoid high-speed crashes in the transport chutes. They love thrills and dangerous sports, leading them to perhaps take crazy risks; they also enjoy a good practical joke. The main virtues they follow are Unity and Duty, and from them they derive the principle of Faith. Le-Matoran are noted for what is called "treespeak" (on Mata Nui) or "chutespeak" (on Metru Nui), a form of slang that generally combines two words into one (for example, "happyjoy" or "Toa-hero"). Le-Matoran were responsible for nearly all transport in Metru Nui: they flew airships, maintained chutes, and drove land transports; the only transport they wouldn't do was boats, which the Ga-Matoran took care of. On Mata Nui, they are known for their squadron of Gukko birds that they ride into battle.
