Creatures are non-sapient organisms that were not expressly created to reside in the Matoran Universe. Organisms that meet the above criteria yet live in the Matoran Universe are still considered creatures, although they are often misclassified as Rahi. All known creatures are native to Spherus Magna and are organic to some degree. Those creatures that do have a bone structure possess a metallic one.
Spherus Magna
The creatures of Spherus Magna vary in terms of biomechanical composition. Some are entirely organic, while the bodies of others, like Rock Steeds, have various biomechanical elements. They reproduce biologically, and although there may be some variety in the way this is achieved, it is known that Sea Squids, at least, lay eggs.

Trivia
- When developing the screen treatment for the fifth Bionicle movie Greg had been developing a concept for a species of biomechanical dinosaurs on Bota Magna that had been given modifications by the Great Beings. Unfortunately, Bionicle was cancelled before this could be approved for the canon, and much of the idea was scrapped.[41][42][43] Greg later included a few of these in some 2010 stories.[8][38][39][44] However, their implementation as a major species remains noncanon in the prime reality.[45][46][47][48] Incidentally, Greg would have enjoyed seeing Tahtorak fight one of these.[49]
