Matau

Matau was the Toa of Air on Metru Nui.

Toa metru
Matau is the Toa Metru of Air and guardian of Le-Metru. As a Matoran Matau was a top Ussal Crab driver who loved to see how many speed records he could break-and indeed, he had just finished crash-landing yet another prototype transport vehicle when Toa Lhikan handed him his Toa Stone. Of all the Toa, he is the most excited about being a hero and can't wait for all the public acclaim he is sure is coming. He is proud, impulsive, and headstrong, and willing to take a risk to prove to others that he is worthy of being a "Toa-hero." Matau would like to be close friends with Nokama, but so far she does not seem interested. He has nothing against Vakama, but thinks he would be a better choice for leader of the Toa Metru. As for the other three Toa Metru, Matau feels they take the whole experience too seriously and should really lighten up.

Matau wears the Kanohi Mahiki, the Great Mask of Illusion, which not only allows him to create illusions but actually to shapeshift. He can duplicate the voices of those he impersonates, but does not assume their powers. He carries two Aero-Slicers which are strong enough to cut through energy fields and can also serve as glider wings and rotors. They also channel his elemental air power.

Toa Hordika
As a Toa Hordika, Matau is the one most eager to seek out Keetongu. His Fang Blades can cut through most substances, and serve to charge his Air Rhotuka. He is willing to do anything to reverse the mutation and become a Toa Metru again.
