Po-Matoran

Po-Matoran were Matoran with ties to the element of Stone.

Po-Matoran seemed to be the most involved in sports of the Matoran and were highly competitive. Being Stone Matoran and working with their hands often, they had great physical strength, although they couldn't swim. They were down-to-earth and practical, not putting too much stock in what they couldn't see and touch. Po-Matoran focused specifically on the virtues of Unity and Destiny, and its principle of Creation. On both Mata Nui and Metru Nui, Po-Matoran were carvers by trade, making statues and other tools that the Matoran needed. Some Po-Matoran on Mata Nui were shepherds, leading herds of local Rahi. Po-Matoran usually came in colors of Brown, Tan, Orange, Black, and Yellow.

Po-Matoran generally did not get along with Ta-Matoran, although both Metru relied on each other heavily. Despite this, Po-Matoran were often seen in Ta-Metru and vice versa. They usually had poor relations with the other types of Matoran; The Ko-Matoran were too focused on the future and not the here and now, the Onu-Matoran were too focused on the past, and the Ga-Matoran always tried to teach others. Nevertheless, the Po-Matoran defended their friends and showed determination to get difficult tasks done.
