Agori

The Agori were villagers in the desert world of Bara Magna before it became Spherus Magna. Presumably they were the dominant species on that planet. There were seven types of Agori. The seven were the Fire Tribe, Water Tribe, Ice Tribe, Jungle Tribe, Rock Tribe, Iron Tribe and Sand Tribe. After the disaster that hit Bara Magna in 99,000 BGC (100,000 years before the awakening of Mata Nui), the Sand Tribe reverted to primitive, bestial Zesk. Similar to the Agori but a separate species were the Bone Hunters.

The Agori were very similar to Matoran; in fact, the Great Beings modeled Matoran after Agori. However, the Agori had no innate elemental power and all of their tribes had a mixed amount of males and females. Agori could live to be as old as Matoran, but could eat like humans do. It is unknown how they reproduced, but it is known that they did, unlike Matoran, Agori also were fully organic when they came into being, and would choose whether to receive biomechanical implants, and most usually did.

The five tribes mainly stayed separate in cities such as Vulcanus, Roxtus, Iconox, Tesara, Tajun, and Atero. They fought with each other for resources with the use of Glatorian, but friendships between tribes were not frowned upon.

Before the disaster, Agori were much more advanced, but post-disaster, they were only good at fixing things, not creating new things. Agori like Tarduk and Berix looked for leftover remnants of ancient Agori technology buried in the deserts of Bara Magna.

Bota Magna
When The Shattering occurred, some Agori were trapped on the chunk of Spherus Magna that was later known as Bota Magna. The Agori that inhabited this moon wore armor made from metal and plants. Their weapons were made maninly out of rocks and wood. They seem like primitive beings, considering their armor and weapons were made from natural resources, though they might have been more advanced while on Spherus Magna. Apparently they don't like the mention of the fortress containing the imprisoned Great Being on their planet, since they shoved spears at Lewa when he said he came to them from there.
