Toa of Stone

Toa of Stone was a title given to a Toa who wielded the Element of Stone. Toa of Stone were almost always transformed from a Matoran of Stone, although Pohatu was an exception. Should a Toa of Stone fulfill his destiny, they were given the option of sacrificing their Toa Power and becoming a Turaga of Stone. If a Toa of Stone lost their Kanohi, their Elemental powers would be halved and their overall strength greatly weakened.

Powers
A Toa of Stone's Elemental power gave them near-perfect command over stone. As such, at a basic level, they could create, control, and absorb rocks. Examples of this included creating boulders, starting and stopping rockslides at will, and sensing stress points in stones. Additionally, Toa of Stone were stronger than almost any other Elemental type of Toa; they possessed all these abilities on a vastly greater level than a Turaga or Matoran of Stone. Toa of Stone tended to be slow-moving, as their strength also gave them great bulk. As a Toa Nuva of Stone, Pohatu wielded powers even greater than that of a standard Toa of Stone, and even had a unique ability: the power to set up a delayed Elemental Stone attack.

Personality and Traits
Toa of Stone tended to be very down-to-earth, realistic, dependable. Despite this, they could also be dense, stubborn and focused on the present, rather than thinking ahead. They were also known to their incredible loyalty to their friends.

Toa of Stone usually appeared in armor colored brown and tan. However, there were some exceptions. When Toa Inika Hewkii was transformed, his armor became yellow and grey, while Toa Mata Pohatu donned orange and grey armor during his time in Karda Nui. All Toa of Stone were also male.
