  Just a few useful terms for those who aren't familiar with bionicle, or aren't as deep into the lore.
  
  Matoran: The main inhabitants of the Matoran universe, they come in 16 varieties, Ta/Fire, Ga/Water, Ko/Ice, Le/Air, Po/Rock, Onu/Earth, Av/Life, Kra/Shadow, Fe/Iron, Fa/Magnetism, De/Sonics, Ce/Psionics, Ba/Gravity, Bo/Plantlife, Su/Plasma, and Vo/Electricity. Despite each matoran having innate elemental energy, they are incapable of using it, however this energy gives the matoran a resistance, or slight enhancement, pertaining to their element, save for Av and Kra-Matoran who can fire bolts of light/Shadow energy. Kra-Matoran aren't natural, and only come about when another Matoran's light is drained, corrupting them and turning them evil
  
  Toa: From the same species as the Matoran. They come about when a destined Matoran is given Toa energy. The yare physically transformed, becoming taller and stronger. They have access to all of their elemental powers, with most being bale to create, control, and absorb their native element, save for a few exceptions. They all have Toa Tools, weapons that they can channel their elemental pwoers through, and Kanohi, masks of power.
  
  Turaga: From the same species as the Matoran and Toa. When a Toa's destiny is finished they may sacrifice their Toa Energy to become a Turaga if they choose, though in some cases the nature of a Toa's destiny may require them to become a Turaga. They have access to their elemental powers, and mask powers, but at a much weakened state.
  
  Protodermis: The substance that makes up everything in the Matoran Universe. It's an artificial substance based on Energized Protodermis, can be found in liquid, solid, frozen, metallic, and organic forms.
  
  Kanohi: A mask of power. All Matoran, Toa, and Turaga wear them. Without one, a Matoran will eventually go into a coma and possibly die if not found or replaced. A Toa and a Turaga are significantly weakened by their removal. Matoran are incapable of using a Mask's power, Toa and Turaga can use mask powers, though Turaga mask powers are genuinely weaker than a Toa's. Come in three variants that can all be worn by Toa, Matoran, and Turaga, Powerless, Great, and Noble. Each mask grants it's own powers and are typically given one shape, htough a mask doesn't need to be limited to a specific shape to have a specific power.
  
  Rahi: Basically the animals of the Matoran Universe. They're biomechanical, like the Matoran, and come in many different shapes and sizes.
  
  Kanoka: Disks of protodermis. They come in 8 power levels, and all have different properties depending on where they're made. They are frequently used to make masks, level 6 or lower disks make a powerless, level 7 disks make a noble, and level 8 disks make a great.
