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.

The Le-Matoran were essential to all Matoran life in Metru Nui, as the city relied on the transportation provided by the Metru. Despite this, the Le-Matoran generally avoided feelings of superiority, recognizing their duty to Metru Nui and the Great Spirit. Due to their vitalness, Onu-Matoran, Po-Matoran, and Ko-Matoran often entered the city. The exceptions were the Ga-Matoran (who generally relied on boats for their transportation), and Ta-Matoran (Who preffered to avoid the clutter of Le-Metru if at all possible.
