History
The Moa species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.[3]
When the Great Cataclysm struck, a population of Moa migrated to the newly-formed island of Mata Nui and established themselves to the Po-Wahi region, where they lived for 1,000 years. Some were tamed by the Po-Matoran[4] and were used as a method of transportation.[citation needed]
Towards the end of the Great War, the wandering Av-Matoran Takua rescued a Po-Matoran's tamed Moa from a rock fall during his quest to recover the Toa Stones. He also encountered wild Moa, which would attack him if he stayed in one place for too long.[4]
When the Toa Nuva intentionally unleashed the Bohrok, the Moa migrated back to Metru Nui.[5]
After the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, the surviving Moa left the Matoran Universe and immigrated to Spherus Magna.[1]
Abilities and Traits
Wild Moa tend to be aggressive when strange beings enter their habitat and will try to attack intruders.[4]
