Po-Matoran

Po-Matoran seem to be the most involved in sports of the Matoran and are highly competitive. Being Stone Matoran and working with their hands often, they had great physical strength - however, they couldn't swim; they sank like rocks instead. They were down-to-earth and practical, not putting too much stock in what they couldn't see and touch. Po-Matoran focused on the virtues of Unity and Destiny, and its principle of Creation. They also were usually stubborn. On both Mata Nui and Metru Nui, Po-Matoran were carvers by trade, making statues and other tools that the Matoran needed; it also appears that some Po-Matoran on Mata Nui were shepherds, leading herds of local Rahi. Po-Matoran had a mainly brown color scheme.

Po-Matoran generally did not get along with Ta-Matoran, the "fire spitters." Both Metru relied on each other heavily, however, and Po-Matoran were often seen in Ta-Metru and vice versa. They were usually had poor reputations of the other types of matoran:

The Ko-Matoran were too focused on the future and not the here and now.

The Onu-Matoran were too focused on the past.

The Ga-Matoran always tried to teach others.

Nevertheless, the Po-Matoran defended their friends and showed determination to get difficult tasks done.
