"He willed the Earth to rise, to form an impenetrable wall between him and the Rahkshi. He could
see the soil beginning to shift, running together and then swirling as if mini cyclones had taken hold."

Matoran Universe

In the Matoran Universe, Earth is represented by the Matoran prefix Onu-, as well as the color black.

Matoran

• Onu-Matoran represent the element of Earth and come in shades of black, gray, purple, orange, and tan. Onu-Matoran also contain a very minuscule amount of elemental Earth energy, to the extent that they are able to sense vibrations in the ground and have excellent night vision. They are also physically stronger than other Elemental Types of Matoran. Almost all Matoran, Toa, and Turaga of Earth are male.
• Toa of Earth possess the Elemental Power of Earth, allowing them to create, control and absorb earth and earth-like substances. Their only real limitation is that when they run out of Elemental Earth Energy, they must wait for it to recharge.
• Turaga of Earth possess small traces of Elemental Earth power.

Acrosie

• Acrosie of Earth possess the Elemental Power of Earth, allowing them to control, create, and absorb earth and earth-like substances. Their only real limitation is that when they run out of Elemental Earth Energy, they must wait for it to recharge.

Bohrok

• Nuhvok have a very limited range of Earth powers.
• The Bahrag have a wider range of Earth powers than the Nuhvok.

Skakdi

• Skakdi of Earth are only able to access their power if they work with another Skakdi, or if they carry a weapon that allows them to focus their powers individually.

Torika

• Onu-Torika represent the Element of Earth. Some Onu-Torika also contain a very minuscule amount of Earth energy.
• Some Sharaku of Earth possess the Elemental Power of Earth, allowing them to control, create, and absorb earth. Their only real limitation is that when they run out of Elemental Earth Energy, they must wait for it to recharge.

Examples

• Creating earth.
• Manipulating earth and soil.
  • Causing earthquakes.
• Absorbing earth.
• Setting a timed Earth blast. (Toa Nuva-exclusive)
• Unleashing an Earth Nova Blast. (Toa-exclusive)

Combinations

• When combined with the Elemental Power of Fire, it can be used to make lava.
• Beings other than Toa and the Krahka cannot combine powers of any sort to create a Protodermis Cage. As long as each wields a different element, and providing that Light and Shadow are not included at the same time, then any six Toa can create a Protodermis Cage.
