Matoran Universe

In the Matoran Universe, Earth is represented by the Matoran prefix Onu-, as well as the color black.

Matoran

  • Onu-Matoran represent the element of Earth and come in shades of black, gray, purple, orange, and tan. Onu-Matoran also contain a very minuscule amount of elemental Earth energy, to the extent that they have excellent infra-red night vision.[1] They are also physically stronger than some other types of Matoran, though they are not as strong as Po-Matoran. All Matoran, Toa, and Turaga of Earth are male.
  • Toa of Earth possess the Elemental Power of Earth, allowing them to create, control and absorb earth and earth-like substances. Their only real limitation is that when they run out of Elemental Earth Energy, they must wait for it to recharge.
  • Turaga of Earth possess small traces of Elemental Earth power.

Bohrok

  • Nuhvok have a very limited range of Earth powers.
  • The Bahrag have a wider range of Earth powers than the Nuhvok.

Rahi

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

Skakdi

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

Examples

  • Creating natural earth or earthlike Solid Protodermis.
  • Controlling natural earth and/or earthlike Solid Protodermis.[2][3][4]
    • Causing earthquakes.[5][6]
    • Sensing vibrations in the ground.[7]
    • Controlling mud.[8][9]
  • Absorbing natural earth and/or earthlike Solid Protodermis.
  • Projecting one's consciousness into earth. (Element Lord-exclusive)
  • Unleashing an Earth Nova Blast. (Toa-exclusive)
    • Covering everything for miles around with earth.[10]
  • Setting a timed Earth blast. (Toa Nuva-exclusive)

Combinations

  • When combined with the Elemental Power of Water, it can be used to make mud.[11]
  • 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.[12] Beings other than Toa and the Krahka cannot combine powers of any sort to create a Protodermis Cage.
