The Elements

A force of nature is considered an element when a Toa, or Matoran, has been found to control it. Although Life, Time and Shadow have not been wielded by Toa, they are still considered elements. Electricity has not been seen wielded by a Toa, but Greg, the writer of the Bionicle story, says it may be possible. A list of known elements include:

  • Fire
  • Water
  • Earth
  • Stone
  • Air
  • Ice
  • Light
  • Shadow
  • Time
  • Life
  • Plant Life
  • Magnetism
  • Sonics
  • Plasma
  • Gravity
  • Rock
  • Sand
  • Jungle
  • As 2009 contains a new universe and planet, only Rock, Fire, Jungle, Ice, Water, and Sand exist as elements for 2009's theme.

Tyrants/ Rulers on Bara Magna

There is only one known Tyrant on Bara Magna.

Tyrants on Bara Magna:

  • Fero (Also an Agori, possible leader of the Bone Hunters)
  • Tuma (Leader of the Skrall)
[edit]

Glatorian

One of the newest group of characters, these are the main characters of the 2009 theme. They wear masks, but do not have any elemental powers. This is because they don't wear Kanohi. Also, the Earth element has changed to Sand, The Air element changed to Jungle, and the Stone element has been changed to Rock.

[edit]

Masks

Masks are the collectibles of the Bionicle storyline. In the storyline, they are special, magical masks forged from apurified metal called protodermis.

[edit]

Toa

The Toa are basically the "heroes" in the story year they are in. Mostly they come in one for every element (see above), but in the movie- Mask of Light, there is a seventh. There is a trend in the more recent Toa to use 3 or 4 large pieces and just have a couple small pieces to make them look more complicated than they are.

[edit]

Matoran

The Matoran are the biological ancestors of the Toa heroes. They have a special language individual to the Bionicle universe, and are the common townsfolk of the Bionicle archipelago. Special Matoran, the Turaga, are the chieftains of the Matoran people and lead their respective factions of Matoran. Matoran are divided into factions according to their elemental forces, much the same way as Toa.

  • Ta-Matoran are the fire Matoran. They wear warm colours, such as red, orange, yellow and black, and invented the sport of lava surfing. Ta-Matoran are generally mask-makers, lava farmers, and smiths.
  • Ga-Matoran are the water Matoran. They wear cold blue colours, and are all 'female', unlike the other factions which are all 'male'. They live in submerged regions of the archipelago and are the most naturally intelligent of the factions. The Ga-Matoran are astrologers, doctors, and teachers.
  • Le-Matoran are the air Matoran. They wear cold greenish colours, such as light green, dark green, and turquoise, and have a daring and adventurous nature. They are incredible pilots and have created chutespeak, which they often use.
  • Ko-Matoran are the ice Matoran. They wear white and light blue, and are a learned, wise people. The Ko-Matoran are also excellent trackers and trappers. They are scholars, and explorers.
  • Po-Matoran are the stone Matoran. They wear rocky, sandy colours, such as brown, tan, and various shades of gray. A rare exception is in List of places in Bionicle, where the Po-Matoran are yellow and black. Po-Matoran are hardworking and trusty, and are mostly stoneworkers. They invented the popular sport of Kolhii.
  • Onu-Matoran are the earth Matoran. They wear very dark colours, such as grey, black, dark brown, or purple. Onu-Matoran were the first to tame Ussal crabs, a form of Rahi, and operate a transport system and a defensive force based on the crabs. Onu-Matoran are generally miners.
  • Av-Matoran are the light Matoran. They wear gold and white, and are exceedingly rare. Artakha, fearing that Makuta would hunt down and kill the Av-Matoran for fear of a potential Toa of Light, disguised and hid several Av-Matoran in other factions.
  • Fe-Matoran are the iron Matoran. The color of what they wear is currently unknown. They have only been spotted on Nynrah.
[edit]

Rahi

These are the local wildlife of the fictional archipelago in which Bionicle is set. At first, different Rahi had individual boxed sets, but over the years Rahi have been relegated to only being available through online building instructions on Lego.com. Rahi include such animals as crabs, lizards, and birds, while more exotic Rahi include a dragon/giraffe hybrid, a winged, clawed insectoid creature, and a massive scorpion, all with their respective Matoran names.

[edit]

Launchers

More recently, some characters have been equipped with various launchers in lieu of weapons and as defensive equipment against Rahi.

  • Kanoka Launcher - A launcher that fires Frisbee-like disks when the launcher is squeezed (ammunition disks are the same as in Slizers).
  • Rhotuka Launcher - A launcher with a ripcord to launch the "Rhotuka" spinner projectile into the air.
  • Zamor Launcher - A launcher with an axle through the back to pop a small ball out the end.
  • Squid Launcher - A simple holder for firing a rubber squid. Noted by fans of Bionicle to be unreliable and often hard to fire.
  • Cordak Blaster - A 6 barreled gun that shoots explosive projectiles, indigenous to the island of Xia.
  • Thornax Launcher - A launcher with a holder for Thornax that shoots Thornax.

Note: The Thornax Launchers only appear in the 2009 theme.
