Memory crystals, also known as knowledge crystals,[note 1] are crystals used to create Knowledge Towers and store information.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

History

During the Morbuzakh attacks, Jaa, a Ko-Matoran Scholar, gave Nuju a memory crystal to create a new Knowledge Tower. After the tower was fully grown, Nuju stood atop it to search for Ehrye.[3][4]

Frost Beetles are known to consume memory crystals; Matoro theorized that the Rahi tried to gain the knowledge contained within the crystals.[10]

The Impact Crystal Launcher utilizes memory crystals as ammunition. The weapon shoots the crystals through a protodermis film, whereupon they expand and trap targets in a small tower.

After the Matoran of Metru Nui were rendered comatose in the Great Cataclysm, memory crystals fell out of use.

Functionality

When a memory crystal is placed in a prepared protodermis basin, a Knowledge Tower grows out of it.[4][6]

When Scholars make physical contact with a memory crystal, they can transfer data telepathically from their minds into the crystal at will.[5][11]

Notes

  1. Although Greg Farshtey has stated memory crystals and knowledge crystals are distinct objects and that their difference would be explained in Metru Nui - City of Legends,[1][2] this was never done. Because their only known functions are identical, they are considered to be the same object, as is implied by Rahi Beasts and Encyclopedia Updated.
