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 Jovan
On the Southern Continent, Jovan led the area known as Voya Nui after he transformed into a Turaga. He ruled over this area for roughly 87,000 years. He was killed during the Great Cataclysm, when Voya Nui was separated from the rest of the Southern Continent and flung to the surface of [Aqua Magna]].

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 when they returned.

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

Turaga Of Mata Nui
The six Turaga on Mata Nui were the former Toa Metru. wise leaders of the Matoran of and the Toa. Each village on Mata Nui had its own Turaga as its leader. On Metru Nui, the Turaga were originally Matoran who were transformed into Toa by Lhikan. After leaving Metru Nui, the Toa Metru sacrificed their Toa Power to revive the sleeping Matoran and became Turaga. During their time on Mata Nui, they acted as the wise leaders of the Matoran and advisors to the Toa Mata. After the defeat of Teridax by Takanuva, the six Turaga returned to Metru Nui and presided over the districts they lived had in as Matoran, sharing power with Turaga Dume.

Unknown Turaga
A Turaga once ruled over the village where Sarda originally lived. However, he eventually went insane and shipped all of the Matoran to Karzahni. This Turaga was one of the first Turaga, and so was never a Toa or Matoran.

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 comes from.
