Matoran

The Matoran are sentient beings that originated on the mainland Korhen, and have since spread out to other places around the Known Universe.

History
Matoran were first created in the center of Korhen (What is now the Creation Branch of Kor-Centra) and have lived in Korhen ever since. They come from the "Great Machine" in the Creation Branch. Early stage Matoran know how to speak, walk, and function to a certain extent. Their intelligence is very limited to basic math and language until they are taught in one of the many education branches of each District.

The Matoran were ruled by the Makuta until they freed themselves with the help of the first team of Toa. The Matoran and Toa have been repelling the Makuta invasions ever since the gaining of their freedom, until the Act of Banishment was created. The Matoran and Makuta have a steady alliance at the current time.

Appearance
They are generally short and small compared to most creatures and other sentient beings, but they make up for their size in intelligence. They've created many different types of weapons, guns, and ways to harness the elements around them. Their color corresponds with which element they are most "in tune" with, as red Matoran have a natural resistance to heat and fire. They are also bipedal and have generally human shapes. Masks cover the underneath of their face, as tradition requires, and they sometimes wear body armor in war and battles.
