Matoran Universe

In the Matoran Universe, Air is often represented by the Matoran prefix Le- as well as the color green.

Matoran

• Le-Matoran represent the Element of Air. Le-Matoran also contain a very minuscule amount of elemental Air energy, to the extent that they are extremely athletic and nimble. All Matoran, Toa, and Turaga of Air are male.
• Toa of Air possess the Elemental Power of Air, allowing them to create, control, and absorb air. Their only real limitation is that when they run out of Elemental Air Energy, they must wait for it to recharge.
• Turaga of Air possess small traces of Elemental Air power.

Makuta

• Rahkshi and Kraata of Cyclone and Vacuum, along with Makuta, have limited Air powers.

Skakdi

• A Skakdi of Air would only be able to access their power if they worked with another Skakdi, or if they carried a weapon that would allow them to focus their powers individually.

Examples

• Creating air
  • Creating cyclones
• Controlling air
• Manipulating wind currents
• Manipulating/absorbing air to create a vacuum
• Setting a timed air blast (Toa Nuva-exclusive)
• Unleashing an Air Nova Blast (Toa-exclusive)

Water and Air combined to create a storm

Combinations

• When combined with the Elemental Power of Water, it can be used to create a storm or a water spout.
• When combined with the Elemental Power of Fire, it can be used to create a tornado of fire.
• Beings other than Toa and the Krahka cannot combine powers of any sort to create a Protodermis cage. As long as each wields a different element, providing that Light and Shadow are not included at the same time, any six Toa can create a Protodermis cage.
