* {{Byronic|Hero}} AntiVillain

* NatureIsNotNice: quoth the Lord of Jungle:

* MeaningfulName: His name, "Metus" is Latin for the word [[spoiler:"[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast fear]]," possibly foreshadowing that he's not a nice guy. It's possibly coincidental however, as he's not a physically formidable threat.]]

* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler: In ''Sahmad's Tale'', when he witnesses the [[WorldGoneMad chaos]] created by the battle between [[DreamEater Annona]] and the [[RealityWarper Golden Being]], Telluris [[VillainousBreakdown loses what little sanity he had left,]] [[LeeroyJenkins charges screaming at Annona waving a branch,]] [[InstantDeathRadius and gets incinerated once he gets within striking distance.]] Sahmad's narration [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this as being "a stupid, reckless, idiotic way to go."]]

* DreamEater: She feeds on dreams which is how she destroyed the Iron tribe since without dream, they went insane.

* UncertainDoom: Was last seen sent to a world full of other DreamEater beings like her, with the intent being that they would all cannibalize each other within a year.

The tale of ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'' leaves the realm of the Matoran takes us to the shattered planet of Spherus Magna, specifically its largest fragment, the harsh desert world Bara Magna. The inhabitants here are not super-powered bio{{mechanical lifeforms}}, but rather a race of armored warriors in a fight to survive. It is here that, after many years of dormancy, Mata Nui takes action to regain control of his world, and in doing so makes shocking revelations about his origins and purpose.

[- '''Voiced By:''' Creator/JimCummings (English), Raúl Anaya (Latin American Spanish) -]

* InstantExpert: More of the "fast learner" type. Had no prior combat experience before he was exiled, yet quickly learns the ropes of combat to the point where he goes from barely being able to drive off a Vorox to defeating Tuma, who is physically stronger than an average Toa, in combat.

* RunningOnAllFours

* {{Elemental Embodiment}}s: They were so merged with their elements that they began to take on their personality traits.

* NoBloodForPhlebotinum: They fought over Energized Protodermis.

* ToylessToylineCharacter

* BewareMyStingerTail: The TropeNamer; they all have bladed scorpion-like tails protruding from their backs.

* TheHero: Of the franchise as a whole, actually. Once the Toa awakened him, it was Mata Nui's job to stop Makuta once and for all.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler: [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk What he masquerades as.]]]]
* NonActionBigBad: [[spoiler: He prefers to let his Bone Hunter-Skrall army do the fighting even though he's the one who organized the united front. Nevertheless, in the novelization of ''The Legend Reborn,'' Mata Nui compares Metus's selfishness and arrogance to that of ''Makuta.'']]
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: [[spoiler: Skedaddles as soon as things start going poorly.]]

* DoubleWeapon: Her Vapor Trident.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: "Evil" is a bit strong, but he honestly can't understand [[ChronicHerosyndrome Gresh]].

* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Strakk, however, [[InvertedTrope tries it on Ackar after losing a match to him.]] [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor He got fired, too.]]

* SlaveToPR: {{Averting}} this was why he stopped being a Glatorian. He had no intention of being paraded around into constant battles until he either snapped or get so beaten down that his own people would turn on him for being a failure.

* FastLearner: Had no prior combat experience before he was exiled, yet quickly learns the ropes of combat to the point where he goes from barely being able to drive off a Vorox to defeating Tuma, who is physically stronger than an average Toa, in combat.

* TookALevelInBadass: Zigzagged. While he's nowhere ''near'' as strong as he was previously, he becomes a far better fighter during his time on Bara Magna. See FastLearner above

* CoolSword and BladeOnAStick: The southern Vorox's primitive weapons.

* CoolSword: His Water Blades, though their long handles border on BladeOnAStick

** EdibleAmmunition: But only to the Bone Hunters. Nobody else can stomach it.

** ShorterMeansSmarter: ...And the only Agori.

** RunningOnAllFours

** BifurcatedWeapon: It splits into a pair of tonfas.

** PoisonedWeapons: Though he has drained the venom for Arena Matches.

** OddlyShapedSword

** BlackSwordsAreBetter
** OddlyShapedSword: They curve at the hilt rather than being a straight line.

** ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks

** EliteMooks: Elite-Skrall

** TooSpicyForYogSothoth: A big part of the problem was that Annona simply couldn't [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm comprehend]] their minds.

** Per WordOfGod, we can at least conclude they are of the Glatorian species.

** TragicVillain: They were relatively {{nice guy}}s before what became of the tribe.

** AwesomeButImpractical: Sahmad comments how ineffective the vehicle is for Telluris' conquest, especially the size.
-->'''Sahmad:''' I always thought the Skopio was a gaudy waste of time and materials. No matter how big your weapon, someone else can always build a bigger one. You don't conquer your enemies with something they can see coming ten miles away. You do it by working your way inside like the larva of a spiked worm, making yourself a part of their society, and then blotting them out from the inside. The Skopio was Telluris' crutch, his way of throwing an armed and armored tantrum at the world.
** BewareMyStingerTail: It has a Thornax Launcher and twin force blasters on its tail
** ThePreciousPreciousCar: When the Glatorian sabotaged it, Telluris mourned the machine as if it were a living being.
** ScaryScorpions

* BadassBaritone: Comes with being voiced by Creator/MichaelDorn.
