Matoran Boats

History

Metru Nui

On Metru Nui, large boats called Flatboats trolled the Protodermis Canals, delivering supplies, carvings, and various other items too delicate or large to travel through the chutes to various metru.

Ga-Matoran would also sometimes race boats in the canals during their free time. These boats were smaller versions of regular Ga-Metru vessels, meant to be used solely for entertainment to see which one was the fastest.

During the Order of Mata Nui/Brotherhood of Makuta War, Toa Mahri Jaller, Nuparu and Hahli used a Metru Nui boat to transport the Heart of the Visorak to the volcanic island of Artidax. Upon arriving, Takadox commandeered their boat and stranded them there.

Mata Nui

On the island of Mata Nui, boats were particularly popular in Ga-Wahi. They were mainly used by Ga-Matoran Sailors to travel and explore the sea surrounding Mata Nui and the rivers on the island. However, Ga-Matoran also made boat racing a sport on Mata Nui.

Macku owned a boat which she kept hidden in some bushes near the Naho Falls. She also used a boat to flee Ga-Koro during the Tarakava attack and beached near Ta-Koro. After regaining consciousness, Takua used this same boat to reach the village and witness Gali's arrival. Takua later used a third boat, originating from Ga-Koro, to travel to the Ta-Wahi beach and Po-Wahi. When the Chronicler's Company began their journey to Kini-Nui, Macku fetched her boat and the Matoran boarded it to traverse the falls.

After the strike of the Bohrok-Kal, Pelagia the Sailor ran the Ga-Koro Ferry Service and took Matoran to a desired location on her Sea Chart in exchange for one Widget. However, the other villages could not be reached on account of the storms.

Recently, a large number of boats were made to carry the entire Matoran population from Mata Nui back to their city, Metru Nui.

Traits

Matoran Boats are capable of carrying several Matoran, at the least, and some have been known to not to be powered by wind. Matoran boats have been seen with both blue and green colors.

Dark Hunters

History

The Dark Hunters used boats to patrol the waters around Zakaz. Most of these boats were destroyed by Zyglak. The surviving Dark Hunters fled inland and were slain by the Skakdi residents.

Three of the future Piraka, Avak, Vezok, and Reidak, used a small boat when they traveled to Metru Nui. Avak guarded the boat, while the other two freed the Kanohi Dragon, which flipped it as soon as the giant Rahi escaped the sea cave. They again used a boat to reach one of Teridax's lairs near the Great Barrier, but this time with the addition of Hakann, Zaktan, and Thok. It was soon destroyed.

The Shadowed One later utilized a fleet of ships to plague Xia. He and Ancient occupied one of the flagships in the invasion. The invasion was stopped, however, by the sudden appearance of Helryx, who threatened to destroy the entire fleet. They now continue to lay siege to Xia, and prevent supplies from going to the Brotherhood of Makuta.

Traits

The Dark Hunters have a large navy, as demonstrated when they laid siege to Xia. Their boats have varied in their size. Some of their boats were just big enough to carry three passengers, while others have been known to hold at least nine beings.

Stelt Boats

History

On the island of Stelt, a team of Brutaka, Roodaka, Spiriah, Vezon, Carapar, and Takadox stole a boat from a local trader of Sidorak’s species. This ship was soon mutinied upon by Spiriah and he sailed to the water around Zakaz. Brutaka later took back possession of the ship and sailed it to the Southern Islands, and more specifically to Artidax. When Takadox abandoned his team, he took the ship, but it was soon destroyed.

The original owner of the ship has since found a replacement ship and members of his crew.

Traits

The ship that was stolen by Brutaka’s team was of a good size and was well armed with Kanoka Disk Launchers.

Order of Mata Nui

History

On a destination to Destral, Trinuma and Vezon traveled in a small boat. Upon reaching Destral’s shores, Trinuma dropped the half-Skakdi off on the island and left in the skiff.

Traits

As of now the only boat the Order of Mata Nui has been seen using was a small flat bottomed skiff with a black sail.

Brotherhood of Makuta

History

The Brotherhood used ships to attack the Metru Nui. All these ship were sunk to the bottom of the Silver Sea by a newly awakened Teridax.

Traits

Their ships have been known to sail with banner of the Brotherhood of Makuta.

Zyglak

History

Zyglak use boats as well and have at one time created a large navy of boats. When Spiriah left Stelt, he sent a message to the Zyglak he had allied with to follow his ship. The navy of boats had helped Spiriah mutiny against Brutaka sucessfully, and so the exiled Makuta ordered the Zyglak to attack the island of Zakaz and slay all the Skakdi, believing they were the cause of his failed experiment. They quickly destroyed a small Dark Hunter fleet patrolling the island. However, large numbers of the Zyglak boats were shattered by Ehlek’s species off the coast of Zakaz.

Traits

Zyglak boats were built from remnants and wreckage and are barely sea-worthy.

Dark Mirror

Sea vessels were briefly seen in the Toa Empire Alternate Universe. The boats were said to be carrying Matoran, Dark Hunters, and Vortixx to Metru Nui.

Trivia

  • Boats are referred to as "Sea-Craft" in Treespeak.
