[carve] History

The undercity of Onu-Koro was discovered and founded by Toa Whenua after the Toa Metru defeated Makuta Teridax and left Metru Nui to search for a new home for the Matoran.

The Matoran and newly transformed Turaga Whenua dwelt in Onu-Koro for one thousand years, always having to cope with the constant Rahi attacks unleashed by Teridax, and clinging to the hope of the Toa Mata coming to save them. Around the time the Toa arrived on Mata Nui, an impenetrable layer of rock was unearthed in the Great Mine. In addition to that, many problems were brought up; a lava flow blocked the path to a Lightstone chamber, leading to a shortage of lightstones, and, because of this, Rahi attacks increased. Takua helped solved these problems, and later discovered that the impenetrable layer of rock was a sundial, concealing a secret entrance to the Mangaia.

After the Bohrok were awakened and started to level the island, Nuhvok attacked the village, trying to destroy columns in a cavern, in an attempt to cave Onu-Koro in. However, Onua was able to trick them into retreat by using their assignment against them and creating a trench around one of the last columns. Shortly afterward it was attacked and flooded by Gahlok, but Nuparu helped drive them off with his new invention, the Boxor. The flood halted much work, and, up to the leaving of the Matoran, remained flooded.

Following the Toa Mata's transformation into Toa Nuva, Onua's Nuva Symbol appeared in Onu-Koro. Shortly afterwards, it was stolen by a Bohrok-Kal, stripping Onua of his Elemental Powers. The Nuva Symbol was returned to the village after the Bohrok-Kal were defeated by the Toa Nuva.

The village was later severely damaged by the Rahkshi Turahk, Kurahk, and Vorahk, and was deserted by the Matoran when they returned to Metru Nui.

It was then later destroyed by the reawakened Bohrok swarms.

[carve] Landscape

Onu-Koro was located in Onu-Wahi and was made up of the underground caves of the Wahi, with very little of it being on the surface. A landmark nearby was the Papa Nihu Reef. Underground, there was a labyrinth of tunnels leading to different locations, with Lightstones as the Onu-Matoran's source of light. These Matoran are sensitive to daylight, so they worked as Miners or Engineers. Their Turaga is Turaga Whenua, who looks after and instructs the Matoran villagers here. The Rahi here were mostly nocturnal, and some creatures looked like the crustaceans and arachnids of Earth. A sport played here was the Great Ussal Race, a sport involving riding Ussal crabs.

There were entrances leading to Onu-Wahi from Le-Wahi, Po-Wahi, and Ko-Wahi. These entrances were all tunnels dug by the Onu-Matoran.
