Shadow Matoran



Shadow Matoran were Matoran who had all Light drained out of them by Shadow Leeches. They became corrupt and evil, and gained the ability to fire bolts of shadow energy (it is unknown if only corrupted Av-Matoran have this ability or if any Shadow Matoran can). If a corrupted Matoran became a Toa, they would control the element of Shadow.

Known Shadow Matoran

 * Radiak (formerly an Av-Matoran)
 * Gavla (formerly an Av-Matoran)
 * Kirop (formerly an Av-Matoran)
 * Vican (formerly a Le-Matoran)
 * Vultraz (formerly a Ta-Matoran)

Trivia

 * All Shadow Matoran seen so far have been paired with a Makuta (except Vultraz). Radiak was paired with Antroz, Gavla with Vamprah, Kirop with Chirox and Vican with Mutran.
 * Most Shadow Matoran had bat-like wings, due to being mutated by Mutran's experiments.
 * Radiak became a Shadow Matoran due to Vamprah's use of his Kanohi Avsa, not by a Shadow Leech.
 * Gavla is the leader of the Shadow Matoran.
 * Kirop is not happy about this, as he feels she was given a position that he should have had.
