The Turaga


Whenua
TURAGA of ONU-KORO

Turaga Whenua is the protector of Onua's legend. He oversees the work in the rockquarry and the vast, complex tunnels, always seeing problems a day before they occur. Whenua is known to all on Mata Nui for his fairness, good judgement, wisdom and honesty. He should always be listened to with care and respect. Whenua's mask is the Kanohi Ruru and his tool is the Drill of Onua.


Nuju

TURAGA of KO-KORO

Turaga Nuju is the protector of Kopaka's legend. Nuju has great sight and seems to have more time to react than anybody else. His Kanohi Matatu (mask of telekinesis) amplifies these gifts, allowing him to move objects with his mind. It is said that he can tell stories that last for days, using only gestures and whistles that none but his Tohunga Matoro can interpret. Some find Nuju aloof and uncaring, but he just shows his feelings in different ways -- like through his generous deeds.

Nuju's tool is a huge ice pick.


Vakama

TURAGA of TA-KORO

Turaga Vakama is the holder of the Great Firestaff and protector of Tahu's legend. He is famous for his quick temper and great courage. Vakama doesn't mess around: he has no time for nonsense and practical jokes, but his fearlessness could get him into trouble.

Vakama's mask is the Kanohi Huna and his tool is the ancient Firestaff.


Matau

TURAGA of LE-KORO

Turaga Matau is the protector of Lewa's legend. When he is among his people, Matau is like the silence at the centre of a tornado, calm, stable and paternal. But you'd better watch him carefully, or you'll be the victim of one of his jokes! He is also a brave warrior and a leader who receives the utmost of loyalty. The tribe repays him with great courage.

Matau's mask is the Kanohi Mahiki and his tool is the Kau Kau Staff.


Nokama

TURAGA of GA-KORO

Turaga Nokama is the protector of Gali's legend. She knows more about the ways of the oceans and rivers than anyone but Gali herself. Nokama has a reputation for resolving disagreements and bringing the Turaga together with her practical logic. All of the Turaga respect the way she listens to all sides of any discussion.

Nokama's mask is the Kanohi Rau and her tool is an enormous fork-shaped staff.


Onewa

TURAGA of PO-KORO

Turaga Onewa is the protector of Pohatu's legend. Like all of his tribe he is sure-footed and swift over loose ground. Onewa is known among his tribe as "The Referee," as his decisions are never argued (even though he sometimes takes forever to make them!).

Onewa's mask is the Kanohi Komau and his tool is a mighty stone hammer.
