* AllWebbedUp: Prior to the Toa Metru's transformation into Toa Hordika
* BadassBookworm: Nokama (teacher), Whenua (historian), and Nuju (scholar)
* BeastMan: The Toa Hordika due to the titular Hordika Venom making them half-rahi.
* CapedMecha: In the movies, the Turaga are depicted with robes
* DualWielding: All six in both of their Toa forms, except for Vakama Metru
* FiveManBand
** TheHero: Vakama
** TheLancer: Onewa and Matau
** TheBigGuy: Whenua
** TheSmartGuy: Nuju
** TheChick: Nokama
* HowDoIShotWeb: Activating their mask powers, since even mask-maker Vakama doesn't know what they are.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: Upon becoming Turaga, they become a lot shorter than their Toa or Matoran forms. However since all Matoran also shrank when they were in the spheres, they ended up just slightly taller than the rest of them (except Whenua, who was the shortest among them).
* MrExposition: As Turaga. Eventually deconstructed as the Toa Nuva start wondering why they have a handy legend to pull out whenever a new enemy emerges.
* StaffOfAuthority: Each of the Turaga gets one when they gave up their Toa Powers. The staffs are transformed versions of their original Toa Tools.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: The Hordika mutations, though Vakama took it farther than the others.
* TransformationTrauma: The Hordika mutations took a considerable toll on the Toa.
!! Vakama
[-'''Voiced by:''' Christopher Gaze (As a Turaga), Alessandro Juliani (As a Toa))-]
->''And something else... our destinies are not written in stone, set in place. They are something we have to find for ourselves.''
Vakama started life as a simple mask maker before becomming a Toa. He struggled with insecurity and self-doubt in his role, and had strange visions of the future well. Eventually, he overcame his issues, and used the wisdom of his past to become a kind and encouraging Turaga.
* AbnormalAmmo: Vakama has a launcher for the [[DeadlyDisc Kanoka Disks]] that are common in Metru Nui.
* CharacterDevelopment: Probably the most in-depth in the entire storyline. He went from cripplingly self-doubting rookie to bitter loner with hurt pride to wise leader.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Defeated Makuta by ''[[ItMakesSenseInContext throwing rocks]]'' at him.
* FailureKnight: During the Toa Hordika arc.
* InvisibilityCloak: His Kanohi Huna, Mask of Concealment.
* {{Jetpack}}: Vakama Metru's Disk Launcher doubles as one.
* LeeroyJenkins: Vakama when the Hordika arc starts.
** WhatTheHellHero?
* PsychicDreamsForEveryone: Vakama commonly has visions, and why hasn't really been explained. [[spoiler:Even if they're just a "quirk" of programming, it's still not really planned]].
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Inverted, Vakama gets green eyes when during his FaceHeelTurn, but gets his original red eyes back in his HeelFaceTurn.
* WhenEldersAttack: Turaga Vakama whacks a Rahkshi on the head with his Firestaff, though it really doesn't do much.
!! Nokama
[-'''Voiced by:''' Lesley Ewen (As a Turaga), Creator/TabithaStGermain (As a Toa)-]
->''Makuta wanted us to turn on each other, fight among ourselves, so that he could succeed. But we stopped him. And we will go on stopping him and others like him. It's who we are -- it's what we do.''
Nokama enjoyed life as a teacher before becomming a Toa. She is peaceful and wise as one would expect, but also rather talkative and rather uncompromising in her beliefs.
* EpicFlail: Nokama's Hydro Blades.
* InformedFlaw: She's been said to [[ControlFreak insist on doing things her way]]. This doesn't come up much.
* ProngsOfPoseidon: Turaga Nokama's Trident.
* SpinToDeflectStuff: Nokama Metru used her Hydro Blades this way
* TranslatorMicrobes: Her Kanohi Rau, Mask of Translation.
** SpeaksFluentAnimal: It also translates Rahi-speak at Toa level.
!! Matau
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BrianDrummond-]
->''Mata Nui loves ever-brave fools. That's why he made so many of us.''
Matau was just as impulsive and quick-witted as one would expect of someone who worked as a test driver. While glory-seeking and vain as a Toa, he eventually wisened into a respectable Turaga, though his humourous streak certainly never left.
* ButtMonkey: In the movies, he has a tendency of crashing into things and is often a butt of the joke.
* ChainsawGood: Matau's Kau Kau Staff, which is basically a SimpleStaff [[XOnAStick with a buzzsaw on the head]].
* CharacterDevelopment: Had a high opinion of himself before getting over it. He's come to regret his constant whining when he discovered it drove Vakama to undergo a FaceHeelTurn.
* CoolSword: Matau Metru's Aero Slicers, arguably Matau Hordika's Fang Blades
* GlorySeeker: His main goal as a Toa was to gain recognition.
* {{Pride}}: Had a high opinion of himself until he realized the consequences of his attitude.
* MasterOfIllusion: His Kanohi Mahiki, Mask of Illusion. At Toa level, it resembles ShapeShifting, but [[WordOfGod Greg Farshtey]] says that you only ''look'' like you're shapeshifting, as your physical form doesn't change.
* RunningGag: Him crashing into things in the movies.
* VoiceChangeling: The Mahiki allows him to change his voice to help with the illusions he creates.
* WatchOutForThatTree: A RunningGag in ''Legends of Metru Nui'' for Matau slamming into solid objects.
* WingedHumanoid: Matau Metru with his Aero Slicers as wings
!! Onewa
[-'''Voiced by:''' Dale Wilson (As a Turaga), Creator/BrianDrummond (As a Toa)-]
->''So we bend the rules. Hey, you can't make a sculpture without shattering some protodermis, right?''
Onewa was one of the best carvers in Metru Nui prior to becoming a Toa. While a courageous wise-cracker, he was also rather impulsive and pessimistic. Thankfully, he mellowed out as a Turaga, and was celebrated for his skill at settling disputes, earning the nickname "the Referee".
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Onewa was this to Ahkmou, leading to the latter's bitterness and resentment.
* CharacterDevelopment: As a Matoran and Toa, Onewa was one of the most grouchy of any BIONICLE characters. Since then, he's mellowed out and has even become a sort of referee when arguments broke out.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DropTheHammer: Turaga Onewa's Stone Hammer..
* EpicFlail: Toa Onewa's Proto Pitons and Claw Clubs.
* MindControl: His Kanohi Komau, Mask of Mind Control (but the control only lasts as long as he keeps his focus).
!! Nuju
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TrevorDevall-]
->''The future will bring the answers to your questions, but only if you stop speaking long enough to notice them.''
Witty and quick to voice his dislike for anything, Nuju, as other scholars, stressed the importance of looking toward the future. As a Turaga, he speaks solely in the tongue of flying Rahi, feeling that only those willing to put forth the effort to understand him are worth his time.
* AnimalTalk: Nuju, learned as a Toa Hordika from Kualus and used as a Turaga. Specifically, it's bird talk.
* CoolSword: Nuju Hordika's Hordika Teeth
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Built into Toa Nuju's mask by Vakama when they were Matoran.
* MindOverMatter: His Kanohi Matatu, Mask of Telekinesis
* PowerfulPick: Turaga Nuju's Ice Pick
* TrickedOutShoes: Nuju Metru's Crystal Spikes could be used as snowshoes.
* TheUnintelligible: Turaga Nuju, by choice, using the bird language as taught by Kualus. He had Matoro be his TranslatorBuddy most of the time.
** ElectiveUnintelligible
!! Whenua
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PaulDobson-]
->''When I was younger, I believed all answers could be found in the past. I still believe the past should be our teacher.''
Before becoming a Toa, Whenua worked in an enormous museum called the Archives. Thus, he greatly believes in the importance of learning from the past, which put him at odds with the future-minded Nuju.
* BifurcatedWeapon: Whenua Metru's Earthshock Drills
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: More so than the other Turaga, as they were at least the size of the diminished Matoran. Whenua, on the other hand, became the shortest member among the entire cast before the Voya Nui saga.
* NightVisionGoggles: His Kanohi Ruru, Mask of Night Vision
** Upgrades to include FantasticLightSource and XRayVision at Toa level
* PileBunker: Whenua Hordika's Thumpers
* ThisIsADrill: Whenua's Earthshock Drills (as a Toa Metru) and "[[XOnAStick Drill of Onua]]" (as a Turaga)
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Matoran of Metru Nui]]
These six Matoran knew the location of the Great Disks that the Toa Metru needed in their quest. Unfortunately, they had lass than positive relationships with their respective Toa back when they were Matoran, and most of them had their own plans for the disks. To make matters worse, there was a traitor in their midst, one who could potentially doom them all...
!! Nuhrii
->I admit it, I've always been jealous of your skill as a mask-maker. I thought that if I turned that special Kanoka disk into a mask, it would outshine anything you had ever done.
Nuhrii was Vakama's mask-making mentor, who grew jealous when the student surpassed the master. He planned to forge the Great Disk he found into a mask unlike any other.
* AmnesiacDissonance: Downplayed, because he was never a true villain and took a few levels in kindness even before his amnesia. However, he's a much better Matoran on Mata Nui than he ever was on Metru Nui, where he was a bit of a {{Jerkass}}.
* GreenEyedMonster: To Vakama.
* TookALevelInKindness: Goes from happily fleeing with Ahkmou to sitting on the latter when he tries it again.
!! Vhisola
->Now that Nokama has become a Toa, she has no time for me... But she'll be sorry. Once I find that special Kanoka disk, everyone will forget about her... just like she's forgotten about me!
Vhisola was incredibly possessive of Nokama, and got jealous anytime she hung out with anyone else. Once Nokama became a Toa, her jealousy reached a apex, and she sought the Great Disk to get even with her.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Platonic example.
* {{Yandere}}: A somewhat downplayed and platonic example. Vhisola isn't actively murderous or psychotic, but is still incredibly possessive of Nokama and perfectly willing to allow the Toa Metru to fail as long as she gets her teacher all to herself.
!! Orkahm
->Only you would be foolish enough, reckless enough, to come after me here. You were a danger to everyone on the road as a rider, and you will probably be a danger as a Toa, too. But thank you.
Orkahm was Matau's rival back on Le-Metru. Slow, meticulous, and unimaginative, he had a particular distaste for Matau's recklessness.
* StereotypeFlip: "Slow, meticulous, and unimaginative" are not traits typical of a Le-Matoran
!! Ehrye
->I'm going to show them. If I turn over the Great Kanoka Disk like I said I would, I'll learn a secret that will make them beg me to join a Knowledge Tower!
Ehrye was a mere errand boy for the seers and scholars of the Knowledge Towers, longing to join them, but lacking the patience and quietness to do so. He thought the Great Disk would be his key to joining them for real.
* StereotypeFlip: An impatient loudmouth who doesn't fit in with the rest of the quiet, studious Ko-Matoran.
!! Tehutti
->Tehutti's always here, Toa Whenua. He spends his whole life down with the exhibits.
A hardheaded Archivist who wanted to make his mark in the Archives, above all else.
* TheUnfettered: A negative example.
* TokenGoodTeammate: He's easily the best out of the six Matoran.
!! Ahkmou
->If you five want to risk your lives, go ahead, but count me out. I'm looking out for what's most important: me.
Selfish and amoral, Ahkmou was the traitor who allied with the Dark Hunters in the quest for the Great Disks out of jealousy. He was lost in the mass exodus from Metru Nui to Mata Nui, until Makuta found him and spun a web of lies to sway him on his side. He caused an epidemic in Po-Koro by selling infected Kohlii balls, [[spoiler: and was appointed honorary "Turaga" by Makuta during his reign]].
* DirtyCoward: Each time he's featured he runs away at the first sign of trouble.
* GreenEyedMonster: To Onewa.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Everything Ahkmou does is in his self-interest.
* {{Jerkass}}: Even before being corrupted by Makuta, it's shown that Ahkmou wasn't a very pleasant fellow.
* TokenEvilTeammate: While the other Great Disk Matoran weren't exactly upstanding people, they at least weren't as outright antagonistic as Ahkmou.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Metru Nui leadership]]
!! Dume
[-'''Voiced by:''' GerardPlunkett-]
->I'll see this city reduced to rubble... with not even two bricks still together... before I let your kind take root here.
The Turaga of Metru Nui, Dume was stubborn and not as close to the Matoran as other Turaga were, but nonetheless fiercely devoted to his city's protection. Makuta briefly captured and posed as him for his EvilPlan, but the Toa Metru eventually rescued him, and he resumed leadership of his city.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Subverted with the one that Vezok made him. It nearly got him killed, but he refused to allow the Dark Hunters to take root in Metru Nui.
* BadassGrandpa: When a small group of Visorak try to reinvade, Dume is right there in the thick of it with the Rahaga and Keetongu to stop them.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: We don't get to see much of it due to either Dume being usurped or the city being in times of crisis, but there's a reason he's been the leader of Metru Nui for so long.
!! Lhikan
[-'''Voiced by:''' MichaelDobson-]
->Faithful Matoran, Metru Nui needs you. A shadow threatens its heart. Prove yourselves worthy Toa, and fear not. The Great Spirit shall guide you in ways that you could not imagine.
A well-respected veteran Toa of Fire. One of the last protectors of Metru Nui before the Great Cataclysm, and disappeared just before the Toa Metru were created.
* BarrierWarrior: His Mask of Shielding
* TheCaptain: Was the leader of the Toa Mangai. Keyword is "was", as each one was systematically killed or, in the case of Nidhiki, recruited into the Dark Hunters. By the time of the Metru Nui Saga, he was the only one left. He also at one point led a 300 toa army against an invading army of Dark Hunters. However they disbanded soon afterwards.
* CainAndAbel: With Nidhiki
* CoolSword: His Fire Greatswords not only have multiple functions, but acts as a meta call-back to Toa Tahu's Magma Swords.
** BifurcatedWeapon: His Fire Greatswords can be combined into a shield, as well as a board
** FlamingSword (by association)
* DualWielding: Comes with two Fire Greatswords.
* {{Expy}}: Set-wise, he's pretty much Tahu with all of the good bits (His original Golden Kanohi Hau, Nuva-style armor and his Nuva form's swords)
** UpToEleven in the Russian dub, in which they share voice actors (although he puts on a different voice for Lhikan, playing him as more level-headed and wise, while Tahu was played as a boisterous bruiser).
* ILetGwenStacyDie: Was this to Vakama, who Lhikan saved by surrendering himself to the Dark Hunters.
* IronWoobie: After he answered TheCall and became a member of a team of heroic protectors for Metru Nui. This would be [[HeroOfAnotherStory a great gig if he wasn't a part of a different hero team's tragic backstory]], as eight of his teammates were killed (including his [[TheNotLoveInterest Not-Girlfriend]] [[NoHuggingNoKissing Naho]]) and two of them turned traitor. Despite all of this, Lhikan does what needs to be done, helps save Metru Nui by becoming TheMentor to Vakama, and ends up LegendaryInTheSequel.
* LegendaryInTheSequel: Well, from flashback to present
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: His swords can combine and form a shield, which doubles as a surf board.
* SimpleStaff: Gains one as a Turaga
* SkySurfing: With his Fire Greatswords
* TakingTheBullet: for Vakama when fighting Teridax
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Vahki]]
Robotic enforcers of order in the city of Metru Nui. They unquestioningly followed the orders of the honorable Turaga Dume (and, sadly, not-so-honorable impostors); and with their BlackAndWhiteMorality they couldn't be reasoned with, leaving lawbreakers with the options to [[RunOrDie surrender or run]].
Most Vahki were destroyed in the Great Cataclysm, but those who survived had their programming warped in a power surge, leading them to decide that law could be best kept if there were nobody alive to break it. However, they got wiped out in the Visorak invasion, and after the Matoran returned to the city a thousand years later the Turaga elected not to rebuild them.
There are six main models of Vahki, one for each district: '''Zadakh''', '''Rorzakh''', '''Bordakh''', '''Nuurakh''', '''Vorzakh''', and '''Keerakh'''. There are also two special models for emergencies, the '''Kraahu''' and '''Kranua'''. Also of note were the '''Krahli''', a previous attempt at robotic law enforcers that were a failure, some of which fled dismantlement and became an obstacle against the Toa Metru.
* AIIsACrapshoot: After the Great Cataclysm, an energy surge caused the Vahki's speech processors to slow down and made them think that eliminating anything alive was best in preserving the law.
* BubbleGun / BewareMyStingerTail: The Krahli fought trouble by shooting bubbles from their tails which drained the energy from its targets. The problem was that it left Matoran too drained to work.
* BigBrotherIsWatching: It's often implied, and the Rorzakh and Keerakh explicitly have this as part of their powersets.
* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Well, they are machines.
* DetachmentCombat: Kraahu; they often detach their legs in six different directions, while the other parts monitored the area.
* DualWielding: Each Vahki wields two staffs.
* ElectiveUnintelligible: They can speak the Matoran language, but high pitched so that others could not hear. At least prior to the Great Cataclysm.
* FlawedPrototype: The Krahli
* {{Flight}}: Prior to the Great Cataclysm
* MechaMooks: They are mass-produced in Ta-Metru and Po-Metru.
** EliteMooks: Kraahu and Kranua
* MindManipulation: All the main models had built-in staffs that messed with lawbreakers' heads.
** CharmPerson: Bordak's Staffs of Loyalty, causes the target to act as an agent for the Bordakh
** CompellingVoice: Nuurakh's Staffs of Command: fills the target's head with a single, overriding command
** HypnoFool: Zadakh's Staff of Suggestion: causes the target to be more susceptible to following suggestions
** PhlebotinumInducedStupidity: Vorzakh's Staffs of Erasing: erases the victim's memory, leaving motor functions intact
** SeeingThroughAnothersEyes: Rorzakh's Staffs of Presence: allows the Rorzakh to track the target's movements and behaviors from a distance
** StandardStatusEffects (Confusion): Keerakh's Staffs of Confusion: scrambles the victim's sense of time and place
* PullingThemselvesTogether: after the Great Cataclysm
* RunOrDie: The tagline for the Vahki was a NeverSayDie version: "Surrender or run".
* ScaryScorpions: The Krahli looked the part, in a FourLeggedInsect kind of way.
* SimpleStaff: Subverted; their staffs have a wide variety of abilities.
* SuperSmoke: Kranua. More like sand than smoke, but same principle.
* TransformingMecha: could switch between humanoid and insectoid configurations.
* ZerothLawRebellion: After the Great Cataclysm and the resulting power surge that fries most of the Vahki, the remaining Vahki decide that there would be no more disorder in Metru Nui if there were nothing left alive.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Plant Creatures]]
!!The Morbuzakh
->Then I will claim this place as my own. Those who ssssurvive can ssserve the Morbuzakh, or perisssh.
Makuta created this monstrous plant as part of his plan otherthrow Metru Nui. Taking root in the Great Furnace of Ta-Metru, the Morbuzakh spread its vines throughout the city to terrorize the Matoran into Makuta's clutches.
* CombatTentacles: Well, combat vines, but close enough.
* FantasticFlora: It was an emourmous mass of vines that took nourishment from heat and flame. It was sentient, communicated via telepathy, and sensed the world by reading chemicals that reacted to motion in the air.
* FeedItWithFire: It fed off of fire and heat, hence why its king root grew in the Great Furnace. Because of this, [[KillItWithIce it was weak to ice and cold]], and barely touched Ko-Metru. The Toa Metru slayed it by using the Great Disks to encase its king root in an energy bubble, severing it from its food source.
* FillerVillain: It was defeated pretty quickly once the Toa Metru completed their quest for the Great Disks. It's telling that said quest was reduced to a {{montage}} in ''Legends of Metru Nui'', and the Morbuzakh was in turn relegated to a mere {{cameo}}.
* GreenThumb: It is a plant monster after all.
* SnakeTalk: as his quote indicates.
* SpikeShooter: It could grow and launch thorns at enemies.
* ToylessToylineCharacter: Surprisingly, {{averted}}! The Offical German {{Bionicle}} Magazine came pakaged with, of all things, a sponge toy representing the Morbuzakh's vines.
!!The Karzahni
->You know the name. Of course you do. It amused my creator to give me the name of a being so hated and feared by Matoran past... as if somehow that power to evoke dread would then live on in me.
The Makuta created a prototype plant monster before the Morbuzakh, but the creature was to ambitious to serve him and was abandoned. The Karzahni was bred with an expiration date, and grew desparate for any means to defy its fate and take revenge on Makuta. Thus, when the Toa Metru encountered it when trying to find a cure for their poisoned comerade, Nokama, it arranged a deal to cure Nokama itself in exchange for some Energized Protodermis.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Relatively speaking, anyway. It was too intelligent and powerful to be content with Makuta's role for it.
* BackFromTheDead: After its attempt to transform itself went poorly, a single shoot eventually sprouted from a log and was fed by the Silver Sea, growing Karzahni back.
** BackForTheDead: It was eventually KilledOffForReal when Makuta smothered it with shadow.
* {{Flawed|Prototype}} SuperPrototype
* GreenThumb: Just like its successor. Its more moss than vines, though.
* HealingHands: It was able to give Nokama a temporary cure for her poison, and eventually gave her a permanent cure once the Toa Metru fulfilled their end of the bargain.
* HeelFaceTurn: A {{Downplayed}} example; it joined the good guys less out of a desire to do good and more to save itself and take {{revenge}} on Makuta.
* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: It was named after Karzahni, a legendary figure who would appear much later in the saga, as an InUniverse example of NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast.
* WrongGenreSavvy: It assumed that it was destined for transformation by Energized Protodermis. It was wrong.
* YourDaysAreNumbered: Naturally, its main motivation was to defy this.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Dark Hunters]]
A group of mercenaries led by "the Shadowed One", with enough of a power base to give the Makuta a decent fight. Once worked with the Brotherhood, until Makuta provoked a war with them.
* CodeName: Most Dark Hunters go by code names to maintain secrecy.
* EvilerThanThou: The Brotherhood/Dark Hunter War
* FaceHeelTurn / WasOnceAMan: Nidhiki, along with several minor Hunters such as Savage and Spinner were once Toa, and Firedracax, Gatherer, Phantom, and Subterranean were once Matoran.
* KilledOffForReal: Several, such as Ancient and Guardian.
* MurderInc: It's not their only purpose, but yes, they are basically one of these.
!! "The Shadowed One"
->The Dark Hunters -- for thousands of years, that name has brought fear into the hearts of everyone from Toa to members of the Brotherhood of Makuta itself. Gathered from every corner of the universe, these thieves, enforcers, and monstrosities have come together in an organization whose reach extends into every council chamber and every shadowy corner.
As charismatic as he is ruthless and sadistic, the Shadowed One runs the Dark Hunter organization with an iron fist. Arrogant and prideful, anyone who displeases or vies him does so at their own peril.
* BadassGrandpa: He endured RapidAging after being thrown into Voporak's time field, and still rules the Dark Hunters no worse for the wear.
* BerserkButton: The Shadowed One takes his {{pride}} as a leader very seriously. Any Dark Hunter who fails will die. A Dark Hunter who dares betray him will wish for death. Should anyone kill one of his Hunters, he'll make them pay, and if that someone has an army, he'll declare war!
* BladeOnAStick: His Staff of Protodermis.
* EyeBeams: The Shadowed One's eye lasers can disintegrate almost anyone.[[note]]Zaktan is thus far the...[[TheWormThatWalks exception]].[[/note]]
* NoNameGiven: The Shadowed One's true name is lost to time.
* TheStarscream: Deliberately invoked by the Shadowed One,who specifically hired a Dark Hunter codenamed "Darkness" to constantly watch him, and kill him if he ever shows a sign of weakness.
* YouHaveFailedMe: The Shadowed One does not tolerate failure, to the point of having a Dark Hunter, conveniently codenamed "Eliminator", with the specific task of eliminating any Hunter that fails their mission, and finishing the mission himself.
!! Sentrakh
The results of experiments to make more obedient Dark Hunters, Sentrakh is the Shadowed One's undead bodyguard, having no existence beyond serving him.
* CastingAShadow: Though not ElementalPowers, he can cloak a target in darkness.
* EldritchAbomination: Even without being undead, his ComboPlatterPowers lean towards this.
* EmptyShell: He has no existence beyond serving the Shadowed One. The Shadowed One has considered rewarding him with a MercyKill, that's unlikely to happen anytime soon.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: He can both induce this and suffers from it as a result of the experiments done to make him loyal.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: He's said to inhabit a "shadow state between life and death".
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Does this to Vakama, who promptly shrinks him and then indulges in the trope himself.
!! Voporak
Formerly a clan leader on the island of Stelt, Voporak was subject to several mutagenic processes by the Brotherhood of Makuta, making him a being with deadly time powers. He was loaned to the Dark Hunters to learn disipline, where he became their loyal servant, helping them track down the Mask of Time.
* InstantDeathRadius: Anyone who steps into his time field is rapidly aged until they eventually die, all in a matter of seconds.
* TimeMaster: Voporak can willingly give off a temporal force field that drastically ages anything thrown at him, this power becoming extremely potent through touch. His abilities however have no effect on the Mask of Time itself. Voporak is also sensitive to fluctuations in the fabric of time, allowing him to sense the use of and track the Kanohi Vahi. His Rhotuka has the ability to distort an opponent’s sense of time, knocking their perception of time backwards by several seconds.
* WalkingWasteland: The aforementioned time-dilation field makes him able to annihilate entire areas by simply ''walking around in them''.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Only one weakness was ever exploited against Voporak, which was taking away air so he could not breathe. Teridax thought of this approach during his battle with The Shadowed One.
* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: As with many other characters, we never find out what happens to him, and more importantly, the Vahi, which he finally managed to steal.
!! Nidhiki
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PaulDobson-]
->You think you can save Metru Nui, little flame? You are just a Matoran with delusions of adequacy.
Nidhiki was once a Toa of Air alongside Lhikan, until the shadowy Lariska convinced him to betray Metru Nui to the Dark Hunters. Lhikan turned the tables and had Nidhiki banished, where his reputation as a traitor ensured he wasn't trusted for any real missions. His attempts to buy passage and start anew were met with horrible mutation, ensuring he wouldn't be anything but a Dark Hunter.
* AmbitionIsEvil: It certainly is when it invoves selling out the city you're protecting and the rest of the Toa.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The brain to Krekka's brawn.
* CainAndAbel: Nidhiki, with Toa Lhikan
* FaceHeelTurn: Turncloaks after Lariska convinces him that the war is futile.
* FatalFlaw: Ambition and selfishness.
* InvisibilityCloak: Toa Nidhiki's Mask of Stealth had ''near''-invisibility.
* KarmicTransformation: Nidhiki being mutated into a insect-like being, the very thing he feared.
* MysteriousMercenaryPursuer: Him and Krekka, to the Toa Metru
* PowerPincers: After his mutation.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: "Well, I'll find a place where they need a Toa, and aren't too particular about that kind. And if Lhikan or one of those Metru Nui heroes tries to take it away from me, I'll make them regret the day they put on a Kanohi. All I need is for Roodaka to help me get what I deserve..." Next thing he knew, Roodaka did just that.
* SinisterScythe: He wielded an Air Scythe as a Toa.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Nidhiki was afraid of insects as a Toa, making his mutation an ironic one.
!! Krekka
[-'''Voiced by:''' MichaelDobson-]
->Shadowed One says everything goes back to him. Nothing gets left.
Krekka's brute strength saw him through many battles, and his monumental stupidity ensured he had no thoguhts of disloyalty. Thus, he was frequently partnered with Nidhiki to keep a lid on the ex-Toa's ambitions.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The brawn to Nidhiki's brain.
* TheBrute: Oh yeah.
* DumbMuscle: Though shockingly, he's ''not'' the dumbest Dark Hunter. That title goes to Airwatcher.
* MightyGlacier: Very slow in both mind and body, but very powerful.
* MysteriousMercenaryPursuer: Him and Nidhiki, to the Toa Metru.
* ShoulderCannon: His shoulder-mounted Disk Launcher.
!! Lariska
->If you're scared of the dark... well, you probably should be.
Lariska is the energetic and deadly Dark Hunter who convinced Nidhiki to betray Metry Nui.
* ArtificialLimbs: Her left arm is robotic after a punishment from the Shadowed One.
* BadassNormal: Despite lacking any major powers, her agility, stealth, tracking skills, and accuracy with throwing knifes make her one of the most dangerous Dark Hunters.
* GenkiGirl: If she's not busy with a mission, she'll spontaneously flip and twirl about.
* KnifeNut
** PoisonedWeapons
* ToylessToylineCharacter: What we do know about her appearance is that she has blue and green armor and a robotic arm.

[[folder:The Visorak Horde]]
A conquering horde of giant spiders, led by '''Sidorak''' and '''Roodaka''' on behalf of the Brotherhood of Makuta. They ravaged much of the Matoran world, and their most fearsome weapon is their Hordika venom which causes horrible mutations in its victims.
The horde eventually disbanded after Sidorak's death, on the orders of Toa Vakama (who was at that point their general). The Brotherhood was able to bring some Visorak back under their control, but with Makuta's plan coming to fruitition the Order of Mata Nui took the step of eradicating the species. Makuta recreated them soon afterwards, though. With his demise, the fate of the horde remains unknown.
The Visorak breeds are '''Keelerak''', '''Vohtarak''', '''Boggarak''', '''Roporak''', '''Suukorak''', '''Oohnorak''', and elite '''Kahgarak'''.
* [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Always Lawful Evil]]: Treated as such in-story. "Lawful" Evil is used because they are ''very'' disciplined soldiers and will follow orders to the letter -- including to commit suicide.
* BarbarianTribe: As seen in ''Web of Shadows'', they aren't exactly... civilized.
* TheBerserker: Vohtarak can make charges described as this, becoming invulnerable.
* EnergyAbsorption: Roporak's disruptor Rhotuka
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: All Visorak can launch Rhotuka Spinners from their backs; Keelerak can also spin like buzzsaws.
* FourLeggedInsect: With the exception of some Kahgarak, all Visorak have four limbs.
* {{Giant Spider}}s: They're a little larger than the average Toa.
* HollywoodAcid: Keelerak's acid Rhotuka.
* InvisibilityCloak: Roporak can camouflage.
* TheManBehindTheMonsters: Sidorak and Roodaka, later the Brotherhood as a whole.
* {{Mooks}}: The primary enemies of the second half of ''Adventures'', but they're upstaged by the Rahkshi and the Skakdi for the Brotherhood, though still present.
** EliteMooks: Kahgarak, being larger and more powerful than other Visorak.
* {{Proud Warrior Race Guy}}s: It doesn't come across a lot, but it's there; they believe themselves quite superior to all other Rahi and Toa.
* SpidersAreScary: They are seriously unnerving in ''Web of Shadows''.
* TheSwarm: Their name means "poisonous scourge".
* TeleportersAndTransporters: Kahgarak's Rhotuka can open portals to a pocket dimension of darkness.
* ThemeNaming: It's subtle, but the six main breeds incorperate the elemental prefix in their names. (Kee'''le'''rak, Voh'''ta'''rak, Bog'''ga'''rak, Ro'''po'''rak, Suu'''ko'''rak, Oohnorak is the OddNameOut; it's name vaguely has the '''Onu''' syllable in it)
* VoiceChangeling: Oohnorak can mimic voices.
!! Sidorak
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PaulDobson-]
->How convenient. You come to us, instead of us having to hunt you down. For that, you have the gratitude of Sidorak, King of the Visorak Horde.
Sidorak was an upperclassman from Stelt. A lousy fighter, he often took credit for other's accomplishments, including Roodaka's capture and mutation of the Toa Hagah. For this, he was named king of the Visorak horde, none the wiser to his viceroy's plans to take what is truly hers...
* ButtMonkey: Post-death. [[spoiler: You'd think with the revelation that the Red Star was a RespawnPoint for dead Matoran Universe inhabitants would give him another chance to prove himself, but nope! Apparently the damage was too severe to revive him.]]
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler:Keetongu crushed him so badly, the Red Star couldn't bring him back.]]
* FeetOfClay: He makes himslef out to be a decorated and powerful commander, but is more and more revealed to be a pompous buffoon who takes credit for others' accomplishments to climb the ladder.
* GloryHound: Obsessed with earning power and prestige to the point he'd gladly take credit for other people's accomplishments, like how he did with Roodaka's capture and mutation of the Toa Hagah to become the King of the Visorak Horde with her as his viceroy. One wonders if that played a role in her planned betrayal and his death.
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: He was a lousy shot.
* PersonalityPowers: As someone who works best as a commander, his Rhotuka Spinner power makes his targets loyal to him for 24 hours, and his Herding Blade can signal commands to his armies.
* WeCanRuleTogether in UnholyMatrimony: Sidorak to Roodaka. She strings him along until she's set things up so she could say ICanRuleAlone.
!! Roodaka
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KathleenBarr-]
->Always remember this, little hordeling... though I am not a Visorak, I too can weave a web.
First seen acting as second-in-command of the Visorak armies for the Brotherhood of Makuta, though she schemed to be named their queen. After the armies disbanded, she became an agent for both the Brotherhood and the Dark Hunters -- until they each found out about her alliances with the other. The Order caught her soon afterward.
* BalefulPolymorph: Her Rhotuka Spinner's power produces permanent grotesque transformations in her victims that only reversible by another hit from them. She transformed Nidhiki from a Toa into his insectoid appearance and turned all of the Toa Hagah into the Rahaga [[spoiler:though she was forced to reverse it during the Order-Brotherhood War.]]
* TheBaroness: Softer example, but her portrayal in ''Web of Shadows'' definitely had some of this to it, and in general she's very devoted to Makuta and wears black armour.
* BoxedCrook: When the Dark Hunters and Brotherhood finally catch on to her double-crossing, she's captured by the Order and made to serve in exchange for protection.
* CastingAShadow: Non-elemental shadow powers.
* TheChessmaster: During ''Avdentures'' she arranges the HeelFaceTurn of Vakama and manipulates Sidorak and the horde with ease. After ''Adventures'' however, she loses her touch.
* DarkActionGirl: Despite being a schemer, she's also very capable in a fight, as shown when fighting [[ShapeShifter Krakha]] and physically overpowering her despite her abilities. There's also the fact she defeated four of Toa Hagah by herself and turned them into Rahaga.
* DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent: Sells information on the Dark Hunters and the Brotherhood to each other.
* FemmeFatalons: She's described as having claws, and then there's her weapon, the Catcher Claws.
* LadyMacBeth: Well, not "marriage", but she's easily the more sociopathic and effective between her and Sidorak.
* ManipulativeBitch: The lady double-crossed both the Dark Hunters and the Brotherhood, to say nothing of her manipulations regarding Sidorak and Vakama.
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Admittedly, this is mainly due to Sidorak being a complete incompetent, but the female race of the Vortixx is known for being considered much deadlier and cunning than the males of the species.
* PersonalityPowers: Roodaka loves nothing more than to torture and cause misery in others while watching them. Her Rhotuka Spinner, thus, [[BalefulPolymorph induces monstrous, permanent transformations on her victims that leaves them recoiling in horror]].
* PlanetOfCopyhats: Roodaka's a female leader, therefore her home island is a matriarchy. She plays all sides, therefore her people sell weapons to everyone (though at least they're open about their neutrality). Apparently, even the males of her race look like her.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: After Roodaka engineered Sidorak's death, the Visorak were only too happy to follow Vakama's order to abandon her.
* ShootTheMessenger: Roodaka does this to the Visorak [[BearerOfBadNews who tells her of the Toa Hordika's escape]].
* TheStarscream: To Sidorak. He was always a pawn in her long game to being seen as the perfect minion to Makuta.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: She is the only Bionicle character whose set and movie appearances featured a curvy figure, including a claw piece on her hips to suggest a curvacious caboose, and...
** NonMammalMammaries / BoobsOfSteel: Her set in particular features ''rahkshi heads'' as her *ahem* assets. She is also a deadly fighter.
* TheVamp: Her... persuasion of Vakama has this touch to it initially.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Rahaga / Toa Hagah]]
Elite Toa who served as bodyguards to Makuta. Once they realized he was corrupt, they rebelled, but not before being mutated into weak "Rahaga". The Rahaga became master hunter/trappers working to rescue Rahi beasts and eventually served as mentors to the Toa Hordika. The Toa Nuva later arranged for them to be returned to their Toa Hagah forms.
* BladeOnAStick: All are equipped with these in both forms, such as Norik's Lava Spear and Iruini's Cyclone Spear (though the Rahaga versions are closer to {{Simple Staff}}s).
* BlingBlingBang: Their armor is said to be forged from precious metals.
* BodyguardingABadass: Did this for Makuta. There were other Hagah teams that did the same for other Makuta.
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Norik
** TheLancer: Iruini
** TheBigGuy: Pouks
** TheSmartGuy: Kualus and Bomonga
** TheChick: Gaaki
* LotusEaterMachine: Makuta stuck them in one for a little while
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: They have Rhotuka Launching Shields in their Toa forms in addition to spears
* PraetorianGuard: to Makuta, and there were other Toa Hagah teams that performed similar duties
!! Norik
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/FrenchTickner-]
->Unity, Duty, Destiny... It starts with Unity.
Norik is a celebrated hero who prefers to lead by example rather than words. As a Rahaga, he focused on catching reptilian Rahi, using his staff to distract and his Rhotuka to snare.
* IncredibleShrinkingMan: His Kanohi Pehkui, Mask of Diminishment
* LavaAddsAwesome: His Lava Spear
!! Iruini
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TrevorDuvall-]
->Wait for what? I spent thousands of years as a Rahaga -- now I'm back in action, and I love it!
Iruini was often at odds with the others for feeling that more time should be spent on smaller dangers. As a Rahaga, he focused on climbing Rahi, using his staff to hypnotize and his Rhotuka to snag.
* ChangedMyMindKid: Iruini defected from the Toa Hagah over a dispute, but returned to rescue them when they were captured for opposing the Makuta, unfortunately, it wasn't enough to stop them from being mutated.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: His Kanohi Kualsi, Mask of Quick Travel
!! Kualus
->You are very wise, Toa, but in this new world, wisdom is not enough.
Kualus is determined and wise, having learned the language of flying Rahi. As a Rahaga, he could play his staff like a flute to commune with flying Rahi, and his Rhotuka could latch onto them and pull them to him.
* AnimalTalk: Used by Kualus, specifically bird talk
* TheBeastmaster: His Mask of Rahi Control
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Kualus to birds.
!! Gaaki
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KathleenBarr-]
->Sometimes the largest creatures are the least dangerous to others.
Gaaki is a feisty hero determined to prove herself. As a Rahaga, she focused on aquatic Rahi, using her staff to bait the waters and her Rhotuka to bring targets to the surface.
* PluckyGirl
* {{Seers}}: Gaaki's Mask of Clairvoyance
!! Pouks
->See? Sometimes you charge like a Kikanalo, and sometimes you sneak like a stone rat. They both work.
Pouks is a straightforward, boisterous fellow who believes in the direct approach. As a Rahaga, he focused on large land Rahi, using his staff to leave an invisible track mark and his Rhotuka to bolo them by the legs.
* BoisterousBruiser
* PowerCopying: His Mask of Emulation
!! Bomonga
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ScottMcNeil-]
->You learn, you survive. You don't...?
Bomonga is known for his silence and incredible patience. As a Rahaga, he focused on insects and nocturnal Rahi, using his staff to read seismic activity and his Rhotuka to silently hold his target in place.
* TheQuietOne: It certainly helped for his Rahi catching.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: His Mask of Growth.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Rahi Beasts]]
!! Kikanalo
These large, canyon-dwelling herbivores liked to dig up Protodermis with their horns and tusks. While often brushed off as dumb beasts, they're actually gentle and smart, though they're plently able to defend themselves with stampedes and sonic roars.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: Toa could ride them.
* InASingleBound: This is how they stampede.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Their sonic roars are capable of blowing away Vahki squads when used in tandem.
!! Krahka
->You came down to invade my home! Just like all the other top-dwellers, with your scraping tools, and your fires. Now I know that as long as there are dwellers up above, there will be no peace here.
A female ShapeShifting Rahi who lived in Metru Nui. She fought with the Toa Metru on the grounds that they were invading her territory, but later joined forces with them (when they were the Toa Hordika) against the Visorak.
* AllYourPowersCombined: Her best-known form is a ShapeshifterMashUp of all six Toa Metru.
* LastOfHerKind: According to Pouks, the other Krahka were victims of the Visorak.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: her merged Toa Metru form
* PowerCopying: In additional to shapeshifting into her targets, she also gains their powers as well as [[GhostMemory their memories]].
* ShapeShifting
** ShapeshifterMashUp: Again, the Toa Metru form
* TalkingAnimal: Once she gains enough memories from the Toa Metru to fully understand how to talk.
!! Nivawk
A hawk-like Rahi specimen Makuta employed as a spy during his coup on Metru Nui
* FeatheredFiend
* GiantFlyer
* KidnappingBirdOfPrey
!! Tahtorak
->The answer! Tell me the answer!
A giant, ill-tempered lizard prone to rampaging when he appears. Having been constantly teleported across the Matoran World, he keeps asking how the hell he got to whatever place he's found himself in.
* ContestWinnerCameo: Designed by Justin Lamb, it later became suprisingly prominent in ''Adventures''.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: His species were used as mounts by Keetongu's species as well as the Skakdi.
* {{Kaiju}}: He's forty feet tall.
* TalkingAnimal: He can speak Matoran, though all he does is demand the answer of how to get home.
* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: Tahtorak kept being pit against other giant monsters, such as Zivon, Kardas, and the Kanohi Dragon. Can be seen as a RunningGag.
* ButtMonkey: Keeps getting subdued and transported around the universe, simply for the entertainment of the guy relocating the poor sap. This ultimately results in the UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny with whoever the resident badass happens to be. All the while he demands to know how he hell he got there.
!! Keetongu
A legendary Rahi capable of curing many poisons. The Rahaga and Toa Hordika sought him out to fight the Visorak and reverse the Toas' mutations.
* CatchAndReturn: His Whirling Shields can absorb attacks, his armor can store the energies, and his Rhotuka Spinner can send it right back at 'em.
* ChestBlaster: His Rhotuka Spinner deploys from his chest.
* CurbStompBattle: He did well, but Makuta trashes him.
* CyberCyclops: He looks like one, but his real eyes are hidden.
* DetectEvil: His "eye".
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Whirling Shields
* LastOfHisKind: By the Visorak horde.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Whirling Shields.
* TalkingAnimal: Though he doesn't speak Matoran.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toa_hordika_cgi.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Duty]]
Just before Mata Nui fell asleep, the Toa Metru were empowered to protect and rescue the Matoran of Metru Nui from the coming disaster. They spent some of this time mutated into half-beast Toa Hordika, and have since retired to lead the Matoran as Turaga elders.
* AllWebbedUp: Prior to the Toa Metru's transformation into Toa Hordika
* BadassBookworm: Nokama (teacher), Whenua (historian), and Nuju (scholar)
* BeastMan: The Toa Hordika due to the titular Hordika Venom making them half-rahi.
* CapedMecha: In the movies, the Turaga are depicted with robes
* DualWielding: All six in both of their Toa forms, except for Vakama Metru
* FiveManBand
** TheHero: Vakama
** TheLancer: Onewa and Matau
** TheBigGuy: Whenua
** TheSmartGuy: Nuju
** TheChick: Nokama
* HowDoIShotWeb: Activating their mask powers, since even mask-maker Vakama doesn't know what they are.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: Upon becoming Turaga, they become a lot shorter than their Toa or Matoran forms. However since all Matoran also shrank when they were in the spheres, they ended up just slightly taller than the rest of them (except Whenua, who was the shortest among them).
* MrExposition: As Turaga. Eventually deconstructed as the Toa Nuva start wondering why they have a handy legend to pull out whenever a new enemy emerges.
* StaffOfAuthority: Each of the Turaga gets one when they gave up their Toa Powers. The staffs are transformed versions of their original Toa Tools.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: The Hordika mutations, though Vakama took it farther than the others.
* TransformationTrauma: The Hordika mutations took a considerable toll on the Toa.
!! Vakama
[-'''Voiced by:''' Christopher Gaze (As a Turaga), Alessandro Juliani (As a Toa))-]
->''And something else... our destinies are not written in stone, set in place. They are something we have to find for ourselves.''
Vakama started life as a simple mask maker before becomming a Toa. He struggled with insecurity and self-doubt in his role, and had strange visions of the future well. Eventually, he overcame his issues, and used the wisdom of his past to become a kind and encouraging Turaga.
* AbnormalAmmo: Vakama has a launcher for the [[DeadlyDisc Kanoka Disks]] that are common in Metru Nui.
* CharacterDevelopment: Probably the most in-depth in the entire storyline. He went from cripplingly self-doubting rookie to bitter loner with hurt pride to wise leader.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Defeated Makuta by ''[[ItMakesSenseInContext throwing rocks]]'' at him.
* FailureKnight: During the Toa Hordika arc.
* InvisibilityCloak: His Kanohi Huna, Mask of Concealment.
* {{Jetpack}}: Vakama Metru's Disk Launcher doubles as one.
* LeeroyJenkins: Vakama when the Hordika arc starts.
** WhatTheHellHero?
* PsychicDreamsForEveryone: Vakama commonly has visions, and why hasn't really been explained. [[spoiler:Even if they're just a "quirk" of programming, it's still not really planned]].
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Inverted, Vakama gets green eyes when during his FaceHeelTurn, but gets his original red eyes back in his HeelFaceTurn.
* WhenEldersAttack: Turaga Vakama whacks a Rahkshi on the head with his Firestaff, though it really doesn't do much.
!! Nokama
[-'''Voiced by:''' Lesley Ewen (As a Turaga), Creator/TabithaStGermain (As a Toa)-]
->''Makuta wanted us to turn on each other, fight among ourselves, so that he could succeed. But we stopped him. And we will go on stopping him and others like him. It's who we are -- it's what we do.''
Nokama enjoyed life as a teacher before becomming a Toa. She is peaceful and wise as one would expect, but also rather talkative and rather uncompromising in her beliefs.
* EpicFlail: Nokama's Hydro Blades.
* InformedFlaw: She's been said to [[ControlFreak insist on doing things her way]]. This doesn't come up much.
* ProngsOfPoseidon: Turaga Nokama's Trident.
* SpinToDeflectStuff: Nokama Metru used her Hydro Blades this way
* TranslatorMicrobes: Her Kanohi Rau, Mask of Translation.
** SpeaksFluentAnimal: It also translates Rahi-speak at Toa level.
!! Matau
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BrianDrummond-]
->''Mata Nui loves ever-brave fools. That's why he made so many of us.''
Matau was just as impulsive and quick-witted as one would expect of someone who worked as a test driver. While glory-seeking and vain as a Toa, he eventually wisened into a respectable Turaga, though his humourous streak certainly never left.
* ButtMonkey: In the movies, he has a tendency of crashing into things and is often a butt of the joke.
* ChainsawGood: Matau's Kau Kau Staff, which is basically a SimpleStaff [[XOnAStick with a buzzsaw on the head]].
* CharacterDevelopment: Had a high opinion of himself before getting over it. He's come to regret his constant whining when he discovered it drove Vakama to undergo a FaceHeelTurn.
* CoolSword: Matau Metru's Aero Slicers, arguably Matau Hordika's Fang Blades
* GlorySeeker: His main goal as a Toa was to gain recognition.
* {{Pride}}: Had a high opinion of himself until he realized the consequences of his attitude.
* MasterOfIllusion: His Kanohi Mahiki, Mask of Illusion. At Toa level, it resembles ShapeShifting, but [[WordOfGod Greg Farshtey]] says that you only ''look'' like you're shapeshifting, as your physical form doesn't change.
* RunningGag: Him crashing into things in the movies.
* VoiceChangeling: The Mahiki allows him to change his voice to help with the illusions he creates.
* WatchOutForThatTree: A RunningGag in ''Legends of Metru Nui'' for Matau slamming into solid objects.
* WingedHumanoid: Matau Metru with his Aero Slicers as wings
!! Onewa
[-'''Voiced by:''' Dale Wilson (As a Turaga), Creator/BrianDrummond (As a Toa)-]
->''So we bend the rules. Hey, you can't make a sculpture without shattering some protodermis, right?''
Onewa was one of the best carvers in Metru Nui prior to becoming a Toa. While a courageous wise-cracker, he was also rather impulsive and pessimistic. Thankfully, he mellowed out as a Turaga, and was celebrated for his skill at settling disputes, earning the nickname "the Referee".
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Onewa was this to Ahkmou, leading to the latter's bitterness and resentment.
* CharacterDevelopment: As a Matoran and Toa, Onewa was one of the most grouchy of any BIONICLE characters. Since then, he's mellowed out and has even become a sort of referee when arguments broke out.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DropTheHammer: Turaga Onewa's Stone Hammer..
* EpicFlail: Toa Onewa's Proto Pitons and Claw Clubs.
* MindControl: His Kanohi Komau, Mask of Mind Control (but the control only lasts as long as he keeps his focus).
!! Nuju
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TrevorDevall-]
->''The future will bring the answers to your questions, but only if you stop speaking long enough to notice them.''
Witty and quick to voice his dislike for anything, Nuju, as other scholars, stressed the importance of looking toward the future. As a Turaga, he speaks solely in the tongue of flying Rahi, feeling that only those willing to put forth the effort to understand him are worth his time.
* AnimalTalk: Nuju, learned as a Toa Hordika from Kualus and used as a Turaga. Specifically, it's bird talk.
* CoolSword: Nuju Hordika's Hordika Teeth
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Built into Toa Nuju's mask by Vakama when they were Matoran.
* MindOverMatter: His Kanohi Matatu, Mask of Telekinesis
* PowerfulPick: Turaga Nuju's Ice Pick
* TrickedOutShoes: Nuju Metru's Crystal Spikes could be used as snowshoes.
* TheUnintelligible: Turaga Nuju, by choice, using the bird language as taught by Kualus. He had Matoro be his TranslatorBuddy most of the time.
** ElectiveUnintelligible
!! Whenua
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PaulDobson-]
->''When I was younger, I believed all answers could be found in the past. I still believe the past should be our teacher.''
Before becoming a Toa, Whenua worked in an enormous museum called the Archives. Thus, he greatly believes in the importance of learning from the past, which put him at odds with the future-minded Nuju.
* BifurcatedWeapon: Whenua Metru's Earthshock Drills
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: More so than the other Turaga, as they were at least the size of the diminished Matoran. Whenua, on the other hand, became the shortest member among the entire cast before the Voya Nui saga.
* NightVisionGoggles: His Kanohi Ruru, Mask of Night Vision
** Upgrades to include FantasticLightSource and XRayVision at Toa level
* PileBunker: Whenua Hordika's Thumpers
* ThisIsADrill: Whenua's Earthshock Drills (as a Toa Metru) and "[[XOnAStick Drill of Onua]]" (as a Turaga)
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Matoran of Metru Nui]]
These six Matoran knew the location of the Great Disks that the Toa Metru needed in their quest. Unfortunately, they had lass than positive relationships with their respective Toa back when they were Matoran, and most of them had their own plans for the disks. To make matters worse, there was a traitor in their midst, one who could potentially doom them all...
!! Nuhrii
->I admit it, I've always been jealous of your skill as a mask-maker. I thought that if I turned that special Kanoka disk into a mask, it would outshine anything you had ever done.
Nuhrii was Vakama's mask-making mentor, who grew jealous when the student surpassed the master. He planned to forge the Great Disk he found into a mask unlike any other.
* AmnesiacDissonance: Downplayed, because he was never a true villain and took a few levels in kindness even before his amnesia. However, he's a much better Matoran on Mata Nui than he ever was on Metru Nui, where he was a bit of a {{Jerkass}}.
* GreenEyedMonster: To Vakama.
* TookALevelInKindness: Goes from happily fleeing with Ahkmou to sitting on the latter when he tries it again.
!! Vhisola
->Now that Nokama has become a Toa, she has no time for me... But she'll be sorry. Once I find that special Kanoka disk, everyone will forget about her... just like she's forgotten about me!
Vhisola was incredibly possessive of Nokama, and got jealous anytime she hung out with anyone else. Once Nokama became a Toa, her jealousy reached a apex, and she sought the Great Disk to get even with her.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Platonic example.
* {{Yandere}}: A somewhat downplayed and platonic example. Vhisola isn't actively murderous or psychotic, but is still incredibly possessive of Nokama and perfectly willing to allow the Toa Metru to fail as long as she gets her teacher all to herself.
!! Orkahm
->Only you would be foolish enough, reckless enough, to come after me here. You were a danger to everyone on the road as a rider, and you will probably be a danger as a Toa, too. But thank you.
Orkahm was Matau's rival back on Le-Metru. Slow, meticulous, and unimaginative, he had a particular distaste for Matau's recklessness.
* StereotypeFlip: "Slow, meticulous, and unimaginative" are not traits typical of a Le-Matoran
!! Ehrye
->I'm going to show them. If I turn over the Great Kanoka Disk like I said I would, I'll learn a secret that will make them beg me to join a Knowledge Tower!
Ehrye was a mere errand boy for the seers and scholars of the Knowledge Towers, longing to join them, but lacking the patience and quietness to do so. He thought the Great Disk would be his key to joining them for real.
* StereotypeFlip: An impatient loudmouth who doesn't fit in with the rest of the quiet, studious Ko-Matoran.
!! Tehutti
->Tehutti's always here, Toa Whenua. He spends his whole life down with the exhibits.
A hardheaded Archivist who wanted to make his mark in the Archives, above all else.
* TheUnfettered: A negative example.
* TokenGoodTeammate: He's easily the best out of the six Matoran.
!! Ahkmou
->If you five want to risk your lives, go ahead, but count me out. I'm looking out for what's most important: me.
Selfish and amoral, Ahkmou was the traitor who allied with the Dark Hunters in the quest for the Great Disks out of jealousy. He was lost in the mass exodus from Metru Nui to Mata Nui, until Makuta found him and spun a web of lies to sway him on his side. He caused an epidemic in Po-Koro by selling infected Kohlii balls, [[spoiler: and was appointed honorary "Turaga" by Makuta during his reign]].
* DirtyCoward: Each time he's featured he runs away at the first sign of trouble.
* GreenEyedMonster: To Onewa.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Everything Ahkmou does is in his self-interest.
* {{Jerkass}}: Even before being corrupted by Makuta, it's shown that Ahkmou wasn't a very pleasant fellow.
* TokenEvilTeammate: While the other Great Disk Matoran weren't exactly upstanding people, they at least weren't as outright antagonistic as Ahkmou.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Metru Nui leadership]]
!! Dume
[-'''Voiced by:''' GerardPlunkett-]
->I'll see this city reduced to rubble... with not even two bricks still together... before I let your kind take root here.
The Turaga of Metru Nui, Dume was stubborn and not as close to the Matoran as other Turaga were, but nonetheless fiercely devoted to his city's protection. Makuta briefly captured and posed as him for his EvilPlan, but the Toa Metru eventually rescued him, and he resumed leadership of his city.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Subverted with the one that Vezok made him. It nearly got him killed, but he refused to allow the Dark Hunters to take root in Metru Nui.
* BadassGrandpa: When a small group of Visorak try to reinvade, Dume is right there in the thick of it with the Rahaga and Keetongu to stop them.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: We don't get to see much of it due to either Dume being usurped or the city being in times of crisis, but there's a reason he's been the leader of Metru Nui for so long.
!! Lhikan
[-'''Voiced by:''' MichaelDobson-]
->Faithful Matoran, Metru Nui needs you. A shadow threatens its heart. Prove yourselves worthy Toa, and fear not. The Great Spirit shall guide you in ways that you could not imagine.
A well-respected veteran Toa of Fire. One of the last protectors of Metru Nui before the Great Cataclysm, and disappeared just before the Toa Metru were created.
* BarrierWarrior: His Mask of Shielding
* TheCaptain: Was the leader of the Toa Mangai. Keyword is "was", as each one was systematically killed or, in the case of Nidhiki, recruited into the Dark Hunters. By the time of the Metru Nui Saga, he was the only one left. He also at one point led a 300 toa army against an invading army of Dark Hunters. However they disbanded soon afterwards.
* CainAndAbel: With Nidhiki
* CoolSword: His Fire Greatswords not only have multiple functions, but acts as a meta call-back to Toa Tahu's Magma Swords.
** BifurcatedWeapon: His Fire Greatswords can be combined into a shield, as well as a board
** FlamingSword (by association)
* DualWielding: Comes with two Fire Greatswords.
* {{Expy}}: Set-wise, he's pretty much Tahu with all of the good bits (His original Golden Kanohi Hau, Nuva-style armor and his Nuva form's swords)
** UpToEleven in the Russian dub, in which they share voice actors (although he puts on a different voice for Lhikan, playing him as more level-headed and wise, while Tahu was played as a boisterous bruiser).
* ILetGwenStacyDie: Was this to Vakama, who Lhikan saved by surrendering himself to the Dark Hunters.
* IronWoobie: After he answered TheCall and became a member of a team of heroic protectors for Metru Nui. This would be [[HeroOfAnotherStory a great gig if he wasn't a part of a different hero team's tragic backstory]], as eight of his teammates were killed (including his [[TheNotLoveInterest Not-Girlfriend]] [[NoHuggingNoKissing Naho]]) and two of them turned traitor. Despite all of this, Lhikan does what needs to be done, helps save Metru Nui by becoming TheMentor to Vakama, and ends up LegendaryInTheSequel.
* LegendaryInTheSequel: Well, from flashback to present
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: His swords can combine and form a shield, which doubles as a surf board.
* SimpleStaff: Gains one as a Turaga
* SkySurfing: With his Fire Greatswords
* TakingTheBullet: for Vakama when fighting Teridax

[[folder:The Vahki]]
Robotic enforcers of order in the city of Metru Nui. They unquestioningly followed the orders of the honorable Turaga Dume (and, sadly, not-so-honorable impostors); and with their BlackAndWhiteMorality they couldn't be reasoned with, leaving lawbreakers with the options to [[RunOrDie surrender or run]].
Most Vahki were destroyed in the Great Cataclysm, but those who survived had their programming warped in a power surge, leading them to decide that law could be best kept if there were nobody alive to break it. However, they got wiped out in the Visorak invasion, and after the Matoran returned to the city a thousand years later the Turaga elected not to rebuild them.
There are six main models of Vahki, one for each district: '''Zadakh''', '''Rorzakh''', '''Bordakh''', '''Nuurakh''', '''Vorzakh''', and '''Keerakh'''. There are also two special models for emergencies, the '''Kraahu''' and '''Kranua'''. Also of note were the '''Krahli''', a previous attempt at robotic law enforcers that were a failure, some of which fled dismantlement and became an obstacle against the Toa Metru.
* AIIsACrapshoot: After the Great Cataclysm, an energy surge caused the Vahki's speech processors to slow down and made them think that eliminating anything alive was best in preserving the law.
* BubbleGun / BewareMyStingerTail: The Krahli fought trouble by shooting bubbles from their tails which drained the energy from its targets. The problem was that it left Matoran too drained to work.
* BigBrotherIsWatching: It's often implied, and the Rorzakh and Keerakh explicitly have this as part of their powersets.
* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Well, they are machines.
* DetachmentCombat: Kraahu; they often detach their legs in six different directions, while the other parts monitored the area.
* DualWielding: Each Vahki wields two staffs.
* ElectiveUnintelligible: They can speak the Matoran language, but high pitched so that others could not hear. At least prior to the Great Cataclysm.
* FlawedPrototype: The Krahli
* {{Flight}}: Prior to the Great Cataclysm
* MechaMooks: They are mass-produced in Ta-Metru and Po-Metru.
** EliteMooks: Kraahu and Kranua
* MindManipulation: All the main models had built-in staffs that messed with lawbreakers' heads.
** CharmPerson: Bordak's Staffs of Loyalty, causes the target to act as an agent for the Bordakh
** CompellingVoice: Nuurakh's Staffs of Command: fills the target's head with a single, overriding command
** HypnoFool: Zadakh's Staff of Suggestion: causes the target to be more susceptible to following suggestions
** PhlebotinumInducedStupidity: Vorzakh's Staffs of Erasing: erases the victim's memory, leaving motor functions intact
** SeeingThroughAnothersEyes: Rorzakh's Staffs of Presence: allows the Rorzakh to track the target's movements and behaviors from a distance
** StandardStatusEffects (Confusion): Keerakh's Staffs of Confusion: scrambles the victim's sense of time and place
* PullingThemselvesTogether: after the Great Cataclysm
* RunOrDie: The tagline for the Vahki was a NeverSayDie version: "Surrender or run".
* ScaryScorpions: The Krahli looked the part, in a FourLeggedInsect kind of way.
* SimpleStaff: Subverted; their staffs have a wide variety of abilities.
* SuperSmoke: Kranua. More like sand than smoke, but same principle.
* TransformingMecha: could switch between humanoid and insectoid configurations.
* ZerothLawRebellion: After the Great Cataclysm and the resulting power surge that fries most of the Vahki, the remaining Vahki decide that there would be no more disorder in Metru Nui if there were nothing left alive.

[[folder: Plant Creatures]]
!!The Morbuzakh
->Then I will claim this place as my own. Those who ssssurvive can ssserve the Morbuzakh, or perisssh.
Makuta created this monstrous plant as part of his plan otherthrow Metru Nui. Taking root in the Great Furnace of Ta-Metru, the Morbuzakh spread its vines throughout the city to terrorize the Matoran into Makuta's clutches.
* CombatTentacles: Well, combat vines, but close enough.
* FantasticFlora: It was an emourmous mass of vines that took nourishment from heat and flame. It was sentient, communicated via telepathy, and sensed the world by reading chemicals that reacted to motion in the air.
* FeedItWithFire: It fed off of fire and heat, hence why its king root grew in the Great Furnace. Because of this, [[KillItWithIce it was weak to ice and cold]], and barely touched Ko-Metru. The Toa Metru slayed it by using the Great Disks to encase its king root in an energy bubble, severing it from its food source.
* FillerVillain: It was defeated pretty quickly once the Toa Metru completed their quest for the Great Disks. It's telling that said quest was reduced to a {{montage}} in ''Legends of Metru Nui'', and the Morbuzakh was in turn relegated to a mere {{cameo}}.
* GreenThumb: It is a plant monster after all.
* SnakeTalk: as his quote indicates.
* SpikeShooter: It could grow and launch thorns at enemies.
* ToylessToylineCharacter: Surprisingly, {{averted}}! The Offical German {{Bionicle}} Magazine came pakaged with, of all things, a sponge toy representing the Morbuzakh's vines.
!!The Karzahni
->You know the name. Of course you do. It amused my creator to give me the name of a being so hated and feared by Matoran past... as if somehow that power to evoke dread would then live on in me.
The Makuta created a prototype plant monster before the Morbuzakh, but the creature was to ambitious to serve him and was abandoned. The Karzahni was bred with an expiration date, and grew desparate for any means to defy its fate and take revenge on Makuta. Thus, when the Toa Metru encountered it when trying to find a cure for their poisoned comerade, Nokama, it arranged a deal to cure Nokama itself in exchange for some Energized Protodermis.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Relatively speaking, anyway. It was too intelligent and powerful to be content with Makuta's role for it.
* BackFromTheDead: After its attempt to transform itself went poorly, a single shoot eventually sprouted from a log and was fed by the Silver Sea, growing Karzahni back.
** BackForTheDead: It was eventually KilledOffForReal when Makuta smothered it with shadow.
* {{Flawed|Prototype}} SuperPrototype
* GreenThumb: Just like its successor. Its more moss than vines, though.
* HealingHands: It was able to give Nokama a temporary cure for her poison, and eventually gave her a permanent cure once the Toa Metru fulfilled their end of the bargain.
* HeelFaceTurn: A {{Downplayed}} example; it joined the good guys less out of a desire to do good and more to save itself and take {{revenge}} on Makuta.
* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: It was named after Karzahni, a legendary figure who would appear much later in the saga, as an InUniverse example of NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast.
* WrongGenreSavvy: It assumed that it was destined for transformation by Energized Protodermis. It was wrong.
* YourDaysAreNumbered: Naturally, its main motivation was to defy this.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Dark Hunters]]
A group of mercenaries led by "the Shadowed One", with enough of a power base to give the Makuta a decent fight. Once worked with the Brotherhood, until Makuta provoked a war with them.
* CodeName: Most Dark Hunters go by code names to maintain secrecy.
* EvilerThanThou: The Brotherhood/Dark Hunter War
* FaceHeelTurn / WasOnceAMan: Nidhiki, along with several minor Hunters such as Savage and Spinner were once Toa, and Firedracax, Gatherer, Phantom, and Subterranean were once Matoran.
* KilledOffForReal: Several, such as Ancient and Guardian.
* MurderInc: It's not their only purpose, but yes, they are basically one of these.
!! "The Shadowed One"
->The Dark Hunters -- for thousands of years, that name has brought fear into the hearts of everyone from Toa to members of the Brotherhood of Makuta itself. Gathered from every corner of the universe, these thieves, enforcers, and monstrosities have come together in an organization whose reach extends into every council chamber and every shadowy corner.
As charismatic as he is ruthless and sadistic, the Shadowed One runs the Dark Hunter organization with an iron fist. Arrogant and prideful, anyone who displeases or vies him does so at their own peril.
* BadassGrandpa: He endured RapidAging after being thrown into Voporak's time field, and still rules the Dark Hunters no worse for the wear.
* BerserkButton: The Shadowed One takes his {{pride}} as a leader very seriously. Any Dark Hunter who fails will die. A Dark Hunter who dares betray him will wish for death. Should anyone kill one of his Hunters, he'll make them pay, and if that someone has an army, he'll declare war!
* BladeOnAStick: His Staff of Protodermis.
* EyeBeams: The Shadowed One's eye lasers can disintegrate almost anyone.[[note]]Zaktan is thus far the...[[TheWormThatWalks exception]].[[/note]]
* NoNameGiven: The Shadowed One's true name is lost to time.
* TheStarscream: Deliberately invoked by the Shadowed One,who specifically hired a Dark Hunter codenamed "Darkness" to constantly watch him, and kill him if he ever shows a sign of weakness.
* YouHaveFailedMe: The Shadowed One does not tolerate failure, to the point of having a Dark Hunter, conveniently codenamed "Eliminator", with the specific task of eliminating any Hunter that fails their mission, and finishing the mission himself.
!! Sentrakh
The results of experiments to make more obedient Dark Hunters, Sentrakh is the Shadowed One's undead bodyguard, having no existence beyond serving him.
* CastingAShadow: Though not ElementalPowers, he can cloak a target in darkness.
* EldritchAbomination: Even without being undead, his ComboPlatterPowers lean towards this.
* EmptyShell: He has no existence beyond serving the Shadowed One. The Shadowed One has considered rewarding him with a MercyKill, that's unlikely to happen anytime soon.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: He can both induce this and suffers from it as a result of the experiments done to make him loyal.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: He's said to inhabit a "shadow state between life and death".
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Does this to Vakama, who promptly shrinks him and then indulges in the trope himself.
!! Voporak
Formerly a clan leader on the island of Stelt, Voporak was subject to several mutagenic processes by the Brotherhood of Makuta, making him a being with deadly time powers. He was loaned to the Dark Hunters to learn disipline, where he became their loyal servant, helping them track down the Mask of Time.
* InstantDeathRadius: Anyone who steps into his time field is rapidly aged until they eventually die, all in a matter of seconds.
* TimeMaster: Voporak can willingly give off a temporal force field that drastically ages anything thrown at him, this power becoming extremely potent through touch. His abilities however have no effect on the Mask of Time itself. Voporak is also sensitive to fluctuations in the fabric of time, allowing him to sense the use of and track the Kanohi Vahi. His Rhotuka has the ability to distort an opponent’s sense of time, knocking their perception of time backwards by several seconds.
* WalkingWasteland: The aforementioned time-dilation field makes him able to annihilate entire areas by simply ''walking around in them''.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Only one weakness was ever exploited against Voporak, which was taking away air so he could not breathe. Teridax thought of this approach during his battle with The Shadowed One.
* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: As with many other characters, we never find out what happens to him, and more importantly, the Vahi, which he finally managed to steal.
!! Nidhiki
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PaulDobson-]
->You think you can save Metru Nui, little flame? You are just a Matoran with delusions of adequacy.
Nidhiki was once a Toa of Air alongside Lhikan, until the shadowy Lariska convinced him to betray Metru Nui to the Dark Hunters. Lhikan turned the tables and had Nidhiki banished, where his reputation as a traitor ensured he wasn't trusted for any real missions. His attempts to buy passage and start anew were met with horrible mutation, ensuring he wouldn't be anything but a Dark Hunter.
* AmbitionIsEvil: It certainly is when it invoves selling out the city you're protecting and the rest of the Toa.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The brain to Krekka's brawn.
* CainAndAbel: Nidhiki, with Toa Lhikan
* FaceHeelTurn: Turncloaks after Lariska convinces him that the war is futile.
* FatalFlaw: Ambition and selfishness.
* InvisibilityCloak: Toa Nidhiki's Mask of Stealth had ''near''-invisibility.
* KarmicTransformation: Nidhiki being mutated into a insect-like being, the very thing he feared.
* MysteriousMercenaryPursuer: Him and Krekka, to the Toa Metru
* PowerPincers: After his mutation.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: "Well, I'll find a place where they need a Toa, and aren't too particular about that kind. And if Lhikan or one of those Metru Nui heroes tries to take it away from me, I'll make them regret the day they put on a Kanohi. All I need is for Roodaka to help me get what I deserve..." Next thing he knew, Roodaka did just that.
* SinisterScythe: He wielded an Air Scythe as a Toa.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Nidhiki was afraid of insects as a Toa, making his mutation an ironic one.
!! Krekka
[-'''Voiced by:''' MichaelDobson-]
->Shadowed One says everything goes back to him. Nothing gets left.
Krekka's brute strength saw him through many battles, and his monumental stupidity ensured he had no thoguhts of disloyalty. Thus, he was frequently partnered with Nidhiki to keep a lid on the ex-Toa's ambitions.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The brawn to Nidhiki's brain.
* TheBrute: Oh yeah.
* DumbMuscle: Though shockingly, he's ''not'' the dumbest Dark Hunter. That title goes to Airwatcher.
* MightyGlacier: Very slow in both mind and body, but very powerful.
* MysteriousMercenaryPursuer: Him and Nidhiki, to the Toa Metru.
* ShoulderCannon: His shoulder-mounted Disk Launcher.
!! Lariska
->If you're scared of the dark... well, you probably should be.
Lariska is the energetic and deadly Dark Hunter who convinced Nidhiki to betray Metry Nui.
* ArtificialLimbs: Her left arm is robotic after a punishment from the Shadowed One.
* BadassNormal: Despite lacking any major powers, her agility, stealth, tracking skills, and accuracy with throwing knifes make her one of the most dangerous Dark Hunters.
* GenkiGirl: If she's not busy with a mission, she'll spontaneously flip and twirl about.
* KnifeNut
** PoisonedWeapons
* ToylessToylineCharacter: What we do know about her appearance is that she has blue and green armor and a robotic arm.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Visorak Horde]]
A conquering horde of giant spiders, led by '''Sidorak''' and '''Roodaka''' on behalf of the Brotherhood of Makuta. They ravaged much of the Matoran world, and their most fearsome weapon is their Hordika venom which causes horrible mutations in its victims.
The horde eventually disbanded after Sidorak's death, on the orders of Toa Vakama (who was at that point their general). The Brotherhood was able to bring some Visorak back under their control, but with Makuta's plan coming to fruitition the Order of Mata Nui took the step of eradicating the species. Makuta recreated them soon afterwards, though. With his demise, the fate of the horde remains unknown.
The Visorak breeds are '''Keelerak''', '''Vohtarak''', '''Boggarak''', '''Roporak''', '''Suukorak''', '''Oohnorak''', and elite '''Kahgarak'''.
* [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Always Lawful Evil]]: Treated as such in-story. "Lawful" Evil is used because they are ''very'' disciplined soldiers and will follow orders to the letter -- including to commit suicide.
* BarbarianTribe: As seen in ''Web of Shadows'', they aren't exactly... civilized.
* TheBerserker: Vohtarak can make charges described as this, becoming invulnerable.
* EnergyAbsorption: Roporak's disruptor Rhotuka
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: All Visorak can launch Rhotuka Spinners from their backs; Keelerak can also spin like buzzsaws.
* FourLeggedInsect: With the exception of some Kahgarak, all Visorak have four limbs.
* {{Giant Spider}}s: They're a little larger than the average Toa.
* HollywoodAcid: Keelerak's acid Rhotuka.
* InvisibilityCloak: Roporak can camouflage.
* TheManBehindTheMonsters: Sidorak and Roodaka, later the Brotherhood as a whole.
* {{Mooks}}: The primary enemies of the second half of ''Adventures'', but they're upstaged by the Rahkshi and the Skakdi for the Brotherhood, though still present.
** EliteMooks: Kahgarak, being larger and more powerful than other Visorak.
* {{Proud Warrior Race Guy}}s: It doesn't come across a lot, but it's there; they believe themselves quite superior to all other Rahi and Toa.
* SpidersAreScary: They are seriously unnerving in ''Web of Shadows''.
* TheSwarm: Their name means "poisonous scourge".
* TeleportersAndTransporters: Kahgarak's Rhotuka can open portals to a pocket dimension of darkness.
* ThemeNaming: It's subtle, but the six main breeds incorperate the elemental prefix in their names. (Kee'''le'''rak, Voh'''ta'''rak, Bog'''ga'''rak, Ro'''po'''rak, Suu'''ko'''rak, Oohnorak is the OddNameOut; it's name vaguely has the '''Onu''' syllable in it)
* VoiceChangeling: Oohnorak can mimic voices.
!! Sidorak
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PaulDobson-]
->How convenient. You come to us, instead of us having to hunt you down. For that, you have the gratitude of Sidorak, King of the Visorak Horde.
Sidorak was an upperclassman from Stelt. A lousy fighter, he often took credit for other's accomplishments, including Roodaka's capture and mutation of the Toa Hagah. For this, he was named king of the Visorak horde, none the wiser to his viceroy's plans to take what is truly hers...
* ButtMonkey: Post-death. [[spoiler: You'd think with the revelation that the Red Star was a RespawnPoint for dead Matoran Universe inhabitants would give him another chance to prove himself, but nope! Apparently the damage was too severe to revive him.]]
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler:Keetongu crushed him so badly, the Red Star couldn't bring him back.]]
* FeetOfClay: He makes himslef out to be a decorated and powerful commander, but is more and more revealed to be a pompous buffoon who takes credit for others' accomplishments to climb the ladder.
* GloryHound: Obsessed with earning power and prestige to the point he'd gladly take credit for other people's accomplishments, like how he did with Roodaka's capture and mutation of the Toa Hagah to become the King of the Visorak Horde with her as his viceroy. One wonders if that played a role in her planned betrayal and his death.
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: He was a lousy shot.
* PersonalityPowers: As someone who works best as a commander, his Rhotuka Spinner power makes his targets loyal to him for 24 hours, and his Herding Blade can signal commands to his armies.
* WeCanRuleTogether in UnholyMatrimony: Sidorak to Roodaka. She strings him along until she's set things up so she could say ICanRuleAlone.
!! Roodaka
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KathleenBarr-]
->Always remember this, little hordeling... though I am not a Visorak, I too can weave a web.
First seen acting as second-in-command of the Visorak armies for the Brotherhood of Makuta, though she schemed to be named their queen. After the armies disbanded, she became an agent for both the Brotherhood and the Dark Hunters -- until they each found out about her alliances with the other. The Order caught her soon afterward.
* BalefulPolymorph: Her Rhotuka Spinner's power produces permanent grotesque transformations in her victims that only reversible by another hit from them. She transformed Nidhiki from a Toa into his insectoid appearance and turned all of the Toa Hagah into the Rahaga [[spoiler:though she was forced to reverse it during the Order-Brotherhood War.]]
* TheBaroness: Softer example, but her portrayal in ''Web of Shadows'' definitely had some of this to it, and in general she's very devoted to Makuta and wears black armour.
* BoxedCrook: When the Dark Hunters and Brotherhood finally catch on to her double-crossing, she's captured by the Order and made to serve in exchange for protection.
* CastingAShadow: Non-elemental shadow powers.
* TheChessmaster: During ''Avdentures'' she arranges the HeelFaceTurn of Vakama and manipulates Sidorak and the horde with ease. After ''Adventures'' however, she loses her touch.
* DarkActionGirl: Despite being a schemer, she's also very capable in a fight, as shown when fighting [[ShapeShifter Krakha]] and physically overpowering her despite her abilities. There's also the fact she defeated four of Toa Hagah by herself and turned them into Rahaga.
* DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent: Sells information on the Dark Hunters and the Brotherhood to each other.
* FemmeFatalons: She's described as having claws, and then there's her weapon, the Catcher Claws.
* LadyMacBeth: Well, not "marriage", but she's easily the more sociopathic and effective between her and Sidorak.
* ManipulativeBitch: The lady double-crossed both the Dark Hunters and the Brotherhood, to say nothing of her manipulations regarding Sidorak and Vakama.
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Admittedly, this is mainly due to Sidorak being a complete incompetent, but the female race of the Vortixx is known for being considered much deadlier and cunning than the males of the species.
* PersonalityPowers: Roodaka loves nothing more than to torture and cause misery in others while watching them. Her Rhotuka Spinner, thus, [[BalefulPolymorph induces monstrous, permanent transformations on her victims that leaves them recoiling in horror]].
* PlanetOfCopyhats: Roodaka's a female leader, therefore her home island is a matriarchy. She plays all sides, therefore her people sell weapons to everyone (though at least they're open about their neutrality). Apparently, even the males of her race look like her.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: After Roodaka engineered Sidorak's death, the Visorak were only too happy to follow Vakama's order to abandon her.
* ShootTheMessenger: Roodaka does this to the Visorak [[BearerOfBadNews who tells her of the Toa Hordika's escape]].
* TheStarscream: To Sidorak. He was always a pawn in her long game to being seen as the perfect minion to Makuta.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: She is the only Bionicle character whose set and movie appearances featured a curvy figure, including a claw piece on her hips to suggest a curvacious caboose, and...
** NonMammalMammaries / BoobsOfSteel: Her set in particular features ''rahkshi heads'' as her *ahem* assets. She is also a deadly fighter.
* TheVamp: Her... persuasion of Vakama has this touch to it initially.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Rahaga / Toa Hagah]]
Elite Toa who served as bodyguards to Makuta. Once they realized he was corrupt, they rebelled, but not before being mutated into weak "Rahaga". The Rahaga became master hunter/trappers working to rescue Rahi beasts and eventually served as mentors to the Toa Hordika. The Toa Nuva later arranged for them to be returned to their Toa Hagah forms.
* BladeOnAStick: All are equipped with these in both forms, such as Norik's Lava Spear and Iruini's Cyclone Spear (though the Rahaga versions are closer to {{Simple Staff}}s).
* BlingBlingBang: Their armor is said to be forged from precious metals.
* BodyguardingABadass: Did this for Makuta. There were other Hagah teams that did the same for other Makuta.
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Norik
** TheLancer: Iruini
** TheBigGuy: Pouks
** TheSmartGuy: Kualus and Bomonga
** TheChick: Gaaki
* LotusEaterMachine: Makuta stuck them in one for a little while
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: They have Rhotuka Launching Shields in their Toa forms in addition to spears
* PraetorianGuard: to Makuta, and there were other Toa Hagah teams that performed similar duties
!! Norik
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/FrenchTickner-]
->Unity, Duty, Destiny... It starts with Unity.
Norik is a celebrated hero who prefers to lead by example rather than words. As a Rahaga, he focused on catching reptilian Rahi, using his staff to distract and his Rhotuka to snare.
* IncredibleShrinkingMan: His Kanohi Pehkui, Mask of Diminishment
* LavaAddsAwesome: His Lava Spear
!! Iruini
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TrevorDuvall-]
->Wait for what? I spent thousands of years as a Rahaga -- now I'm back in action, and I love it!
Iruini was often at odds with the others for feeling that more time should be spent on smaller dangers. As a Rahaga, he focused on climbing Rahi, using his staff to hypnotize and his Rhotuka to snag.
* ChangedMyMindKid: Iruini defected from the Toa Hagah over a dispute, but returned to rescue them when they were captured for opposing the Makuta, unfortunately, it wasn't enough to stop them from being mutated.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: His Kanohi Kualsi, Mask of Quick Travel
!! Kualus
->You are very wise, Toa, but in this new world, wisdom is not enough.
Kualus is determined and wise, having learned the language of flying Rahi. As a Rahaga, he could play his staff like a flute to commune with flying Rahi, and his Rhotuka could latch onto them and pull them to him.
* AnimalTalk: Used by Kualus, specifically bird talk
* TheBeastmaster: His Mask of Rahi Control
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Kualus to birds.
!! Gaaki
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KathleenBarr-]
->Sometimes the largest creatures are the least dangerous to others.
Gaaki is a feisty hero determined to prove herself. As a Rahaga, she focused on aquatic Rahi, using her staff to bait the waters and her Rhotuka to bring targets to the surface.
* PluckyGirl
* {{Seers}}: Gaaki's Mask of Clairvoyance
!! Pouks
->See? Sometimes you charge like a Kikanalo, and sometimes you sneak like a stone rat. They both work.
Pouks is a straightforward, boisterous fellow who believes in the direct approach. As a Rahaga, he focused on large land Rahi, using his staff to leave an invisible track mark and his Rhotuka to bolo them by the legs.
* BoisterousBruiser
* PowerCopying: His Mask of Emulation
!! Bomonga
[-'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ScottMcNeil-]
->You learn, you survive. You don't...?
Bomonga is known for his silence and incredible patience. As a Rahaga, he focused on insects and nocturnal Rahi, using his staff to read seismic activity and his Rhotuka to silently hold his target in place.
* TheQuietOne: It certainly helped for his Rahi catching.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: His Mask of Growth.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Rahi Beasts]]
!! Kikanalo
These large, canyon-dwelling herbivores liked to dig up Protodermis with their horns and tusks. While often brushed off as dumb beasts, they're actually gentle and smart, though they're plently able to defend themselves with stampedes and sonic roars.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: Toa could ride them.
* InASingleBound: This is how they stampede.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Their sonic roars are capable of blowing away Vahki squads when used in tandem.
!! Krahka
->You came down to invade my home! Just like all the other top-dwellers, with your scraping tools, and your fires. Now I know that as long as there are dwellers up above, there will be no peace here.
A female ShapeShifting Rahi who lived in Metru Nui. She fought with the Toa Metru on the grounds that they were invading her territory, but later joined forces with them (when they were the Toa Hordika) against the Visorak.
* AllYourPowersCombined: Her best-known form is a ShapeshifterMashUp of all six Toa Metru.
* LastOfHerKind: According to Pouks, the other Krahka were victims of the Visorak.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: her merged Toa Metru form
* PowerCopying: In additional to shapeshifting into her targets, she also gains their powers as well as [[GhostMemory their memories]].
* ShapeShifting
** ShapeshifterMashUp: Again, the Toa Metru form
* TalkingAnimal: Once she gains enough memories from the Toa Metru to fully understand how to talk.
!! Nivawk
A hawk-like Rahi specimen Makuta employed as a spy during his coup on Metru Nui
* FeatheredFiend
* GiantFlyer
* KidnappingBirdOfPrey
!! Tahtorak
->The answer! Tell me the answer!
A giant, ill-tempered lizard prone to rampaging when he appears. Having been constantly teleported across the Matoran World, he keeps asking how the hell he got to whatever place he's found himself in.
* ContestWinnerCameo: Designed by Justin Lamb, it later became suprisingly prominent in ''Adventures''.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: His species were used as mounts by Keetongu's species as well as the Skakdi.
* {{Kaiju}}: He's forty feet tall.
* TalkingAnimal: He can speak Matoran, though all he does is demand the answer of how to get home.
* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: Tahtorak kept being pit against other giant monsters, such as Zivon, Kardas, and the Kanohi Dragon. Can be seen as a RunningGag.
* ButtMonkey: Keeps getting subdued and transported around the universe, simply for the entertainment of the guy relocating the poor sap. This ultimately results in the UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny with whoever the resident badass happens to be. All the while he demands to know how he hell he got there.
