In the BIONICLE storyline, there are many Sapient Species the names and details of which are unknown. This page is a listing of these species.
For more prominent sapient species, see Sapient Species.
Solis Magna System
Annona's Species
Members of this species feed on dreams, enabling them to radiate intensive heat.[1] All of them[2] wield a wide variety of psionic powers,[3] can teleport,[4] although not across interplanetary distances, and can enter a self-induced stasis.[5] Usually, two specimens cannot co-exist on the same planet,[6] and as such they reproduce asexually.[7] This species is widespread inside and outside the Solis Magna System.[8][9] When the members of the species wish to travel between planets, they do so in the form of a spore.[10]
- Annona
- Many members of the species who came into existence on a planet created by the Golden Being and Sahmad; they are expected to die out due to their close proximity within a year[1]
- Many members of the species existing on other planets in the galaxy[9]
- Several members of the species existing on the other inhabited planets of the Solis Magna System[8]
Matoran Universe
Many sapient species existed together in the Matoran Universe. Some were created by the Great Beings, others by the Great Spirit Mata Nui over his 100,000-year journey through the universe. All were eventually forced to leave the Mata Nui Robot in the aftermath of the Battle of Bara Magna, and have relocated to the planet of Spherus Magna.
Different species are listed with any identifying characteristics, followed by known members of the species. Unless otherwise noted in the trivia or contradictory details exist, it is possible that some of these listings describe the same species, but no confirmation exists one way or the other.

Alternate Dimensions
City-Building Creatures
A Rahi-like species that reside in a pocket dimension. The species members are about twenty feet (six meters) tall and are herbivorous, feeding on large melon-like fruit. They are gentle by nature and will only use their formidable claws in self-defense. They also built a grand city of silver and crystal towers, where they lived and prospered for a very long time. Unfortunately, a group of Kestora attacked and took the city as their own, leaving only one inhabitant alive.
- The sole survivor of the City-Building Creatures.
Trivia
- The Spherus Magna warrior species has never been officially named, but due to their common employment as Glatorian, they are referred to as such by fans and this wiki.
- It is unclear if the Barraki belong to any of the species that had been seen up until that point,[142][143][144][145][146][147][148][39][40][149] but they are Toa-sized.[150]
- Although Lariska is commonly assumed to belong to or be related to the Vortixx species, Greg Farshtey maintains that she is not and belongs to no species that we already know of.[151][152][153][154][155]
- Although Triglax is commonly assumed to belong to or be a member of the Krahka species, Greg maintains otherwise[156] because he is not a Rahi.[157]
- Although Axonn, Brutaka, Hydraxon, Johmak, Lariska, Trinuma, Tobduk, Vanisher, and the four-armed giant Order agent were not confirmed in the story to have had species, details have since been fleshed out by Greg Farshtey. Lurker, Guardian, and Primal are not explicitly confirmed to have species, although their canon backgrounds seem to strongly imply such. The Shadowed One speculated that there may be more of Amphibax's or Ravager's kinds, but it would not be any the he was familiar with.[158][159] Farshtey has also stated he does not regard Shadow Stealer as a unique being.[160]
