Gravity

"A little less gravity, and the swarm "flies" away. They will be safe -- in orbit -- until I need them. A little more gravity, and you will be too heavy to interfere."
— Nuhvok-Kal to Toa Nuva Tahu, A Matter of Time

Matoran Universe

In the Matoran Universe, Gravity is often represented by the prefix Ba- and the colors purple and black.

Matoran

• Ba-Matoran represent the Element of Gravity. They contain a very minuscule amount of Elemental Gravity Energy. All Matoran, Toa, and Turaga of Gravity are male.
• Toa of Gravity have the Elemental Power of Gravity, allowing them to create and control Gravity. Their only real limitation is that when they run out of Elemental Gravity Energy, they must wait for it to recharge.
• A Turaga of Gravity would hypothetically have small traces of Elemental Gravity Energy.

Bohrok

• Nuhvok-Kal had a wide range of Gravity powers.

Makuta

• Rahkshi and Kraata of Gravity, and all Makuta have limited Gravity powers.

Examples

• Generating gravity

• Manipulating gravity
  • Controlling gravity to achieve limited flight
  • Increasing the pull of gravity on a target/area
  • Decreasing the pull of gravity on a target/area
• Unleashing a Gravity Nova Blast (Toa exclusive)
• Creating a black hole

Combinations

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.

Users

• All Ba-Matoran - Inaccessible
• All Toa of Gravity
  • A Toa of Gravity from the first Toa team - Deceased

Trivia

• The prefix "Ba-" was derived from words with the Greek origin of "baros", meaning "weight".
• Unlike most Toa of other known elements, Toa of Gravity cannot absorb their own Element.
• The Great Spirit Robot and Prototype Robot have non-elemental control over Gravity.
