The Mangaia is one of Makuta Teridax's many lairs, located beneath the Kini-Nui and the Mangai Volcano on Mata Nui.

It was built before Teridax overthrew Miserix and seized control of the Brotherhood of Makuta, so he named it Mangaia, an archaic Matoran word meaning "protector", after his job at the time.

Mangaia has several entrances - the main one is located directly below the Suva at Kini-Nui, and there is another below a sundial in the Great Mine in Onu-Wahi. It appears to consist of many twisting passages and several huge chambers. In Teridax's main chamber, there is a pool of Energized Protodermis as well as tubes containing Rahkshi armor. A door in Mangaia opened out onto a ledge in the Great Barrier, which looked out over the Silver Sea. The sheer weight of this door was powerful enough to crush Makuta armor.

Before and during his defeat by the Toa Mata, there was a swirling mass of pieces in the center of Teridax's chamber that he used to battle. It is also here that the gate to Metru Nui can be found. Another door leads to one section of the Bohrok nest, home to a swarm of Lehvak. Prior to the coming of Takanuva, only one Matoran had ever set foot in Mangaia and returned - Takua. Aside from Teridax, Rahi such as the Manas and Mana Ko resided here, as well as the illusions known as the Shadow Toa.

It was here where the Piraka passed through to Mata Nui, and where they discovered the Spear of Fusion which Hakann used to accidentally split Vezon from Vezok.

The Mangaia was not destroyed when Mata Nui awoke.
