Shadow Matoran



Shadow Matoran were Matoran who had all Light drained out of them. They became corrupt and evil, and gained the ability to fire bolts of shadow energy. If a corrupted Matoran became a Toa, they would control the element of Shadow.

The Brotherhood of Makuta used mutated Kraata called Shadow Leeches to drain the light from numerous Av-Matoran, after which they served the Makuta operating in the Universe Core.
