LEGO - BIONICLE


In the fictional universe of LEGO BIONICLE, multiple species, races, and other groups exist. This list of groups covers every race, species, and group within the universe; it also covers individuals that do not neatly fit into any group. They are sorted by alignment.

A primary source for the characters and features of the
LEGO BIONICLE world is G Farshtey, Bionicle Encyclopedia, Scholastic Inc 2007 (updated edition). Further information is shown in the animated film productions 'Bionicle Mask of Light', 'Bionicle 2 Legends of Metru Nui' and 'Bionicle 3 Web of Shadows', LEGO/Miramax 2003-2005. Additional story books have been published by LEGO.

The Matoran are the chosen people of the Great Spirit Mata Nui[1] and the most common race in the Bionicle world. Though most of the time "Matoran" refers to small workers, it can be extended to the warrior Toa and elder Turaga that Matoran can sometimes become. Regardless, all wear Kanohi Masks and have some degree of elemental power.

The Matoran are a race of humanoid, small workers. Their elemental energies manifest as minor physical enhancements, and they cannot activate the powers of Kanohi Masks that they wear (most wear masks with no powers at all). Though they are among the weakest races, they are a very brave people and will fight to the last for their homes and lives. They make up for their physical disadvantages by being builders; able to create fortresses, weapons, defense machines and whatever other tools they need. The Matoran live by the three virtues that Mata Nui gave them Unity, Duty, and Destiny. Matoran also act like blood cells for Mata Nui's body (now Teridax's), so they must keep working to keep him conscious.
