"Po-Matoran carvers don't believe in anything they cannot see, touch, and hit with a hammer. And if they do... they keep it to themselves."

The Po-Matoran are the Matoran of Stone.
Abilities and Traits
The Po-Matoran have minute Stone powers, thanks to which they are physically stronger than other Matoran, and are sure-footed and swift over loose ground.[1]. The Po-Matoran on the city of Metru Nui and Mata Nui were often craftsmen and carvers. In addition, the Po-Matoran of Mata Nui tend to be athletic and often play the Matoran game of kolhii. On the island of Voya Nui and Mahri Nui, the Po-Matoran share the many occupations there.
Po-Matoran are the most involved in sports of the Matoran, and are highly competitive. However, few of them can swim, and they seem to all share an instinctive fear of water. On Mata Nui and later Metru Nui, they valued Unity and Destiny the most out of the Three Virtues, from which they derive their Principle of Creation and the skill of Strategy.
Identifiable physical attributes of Po-Matoran include different shades of brown, yellow, orange, tan, and black Kanohi and armor. Like many Matoran types, their armor colors vary by region.[2] They are also one of the several male Matoran types.
