Sapient Species/Unnamed Species
In the BIONICLE storyline, there are many Sapient Species the names and details of which are unknown.
This page lists sapient species about which little is known. For more prominent sapient species, see Sapient Species.
Many sapient species existed together in the Matoran Universe. Some were created by the Great Beings, others by the Great Spirit Mata Nui over his 100,000-year journey through the universe. All were eventually forced to leave the Great Spirit Robot in the aftermath of the Battle of Bara Magna, and have relocated to the planet of Spherus Magna.
