Matoro -- OEZ NOEZ MATORO DIEZ!111

Turaga -- The real power behind the throne behind the power behind the throne in the Matoran Universe. These diminutive, manipulative beings have managed to control everything that happens in the Matoran Universe for thousands of years, ordering around the much more powerful Toa and much more numerous Matoran with impunity. They set up the Makuta rebellion purposely, so that Mata Nui would be ejected to Bara Magna, where the Turaga knew he would find the prototype robot to defeat Teridax.
