Onu-Matoran

Onu-Matoran were cave-dwellng Matoran of the element Earth. They wore blacks and greys, as well as tan, orange, and purple. As Matoran of the earth they spent most time underground, and their eyes had thus adapted to see in little light (however, they are easily blinded by bright lights). They tended to put their faith in the past and what can be learned from it. The main Onu-Matoran virtues were Unity, Duty and Destiny, and the principle they get from the virtues is Prosperity. In Metru Nui, Onu-Matoran started out as miners before moving their way up to working in the Archives. On Mata Nui, prtodermis and lightstone mining was their main occupation. They also had the Ussalry — a defense force that rode Ussal crabs as their steeds.

The Onu-Matoran we have seen have resided in Onu-Metru, Onu-Koro, Voya Nui, and Mahri Nui.
