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, nimble and stealthy.[1] 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. In comparison to where a Toa could create a whirlwind, a Turaga could create a stiff breeze.[2]

Bohrok

Makuta

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

Rahi

  • Air Gafna can emit pulses of elemental Air energy from their tails.
  • Air Burnak can emit pulses of elemental Air energy.

Skakdi

  • Skakdi of Air can only access their power if they work with another Skakdi, or if they carry a weapon that allows them to focus their Air power individually.

Examples

  • Creating air
    • Creating cyclones
  • Controlling air

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.
  • As long as each of them wields a different Element, providing that Light and Shadow are not included at the same time, any six Toa can create a Protodermis cage.[8] Beings other than Toa and the Krahka cannot combine powers of any sort to create a Protodermis cage.

Trivia

  • Gresh and Vastus received Air powers from the Ignika rather than the power of their native element of Jungle; this was because Mata Nui associated their tribe's color of green with Air, the corresponding primary element in the Matoran Universe.[10]
  • The air composition found in the Matoran Universe is the same as that on Spherus Magna.[11]
  • Toa Hordika Matau's Air Rhotuka was sometimes called a Wind Rhotuka.[12][13][14]
