Sapient Species

Matoran - The primary inhabitants of the Matoran Universe, and the first stage in a metamorphic life cycle that includes Toa and Turaga; Matoran have elemental attributes and affinities, which are reflected in their personalities and occupations
Toa - Heroes of the Matoran Universe, defenders of the Matoran, with a myriad of powers; most evolve from Matoran, and adhere to a strict ethical code
Turaga - Wise sages, who lead the Matoran populations; they evolve from Toa, reducing the amount of power they have access to
Makuta - Dark warriors who were initially tasked with filling the Matoran Universe with the Rahi fauna; they later took it upon themselves to be the policing force in the universe, and were eventually corrupted and devoted themselves to perverted goals and ideals of conquest
Vortixx - Industrial workers of Xia, who are solely interested in profit-making
Skakdi - Barbaric savages, who were experimented upon by the Makuta in order to create a warrior race; high-strung and temperamental, they are frequently fighting with each other and other species
Zyglak - A race that evolved from the remnants of leftover Krana, and were subsequently shunned by their creators, the Great Beings; they retreated to the darkest corners of the universe, with desires for vengeance against their makers, and only emerged to act upon their grudge

Great Beings - Enigmatic creators, and former scientist-kings of Spherus Magna; responsible for the Shattering, as well as much of the Matoran Universe
Glatorian - The warrior race of the planet, who took on the collective name "Glatorian" to refer to those participating in the social system they developed
Vorox - Previously of the Glatorian species, the Vorox have socially regressed to the point of feral savagery, living in packs and accompanied by the similarly devolved Zesk
Agori - Villagers and leaders, the most populace species on Spherus Magna
Skrall - A harsh tribe of warriors, with a caste system of soldiers, elites and leaders
Bone Hunters - Distantly related to the Rock Tribe Agori, the Bone Hunters are a group of nomadic raiders, who travel with the Rock Steeds that they have tamed
