I just assumed it’s because that’s just how big that robot is! Also, the twin suns of Metru Nui are actually Mata Nui’s eyes. As for the sky, I haven’t really looked into that much. So yes, before Mata Nui wakes up Metru Nui is underground beneath Mata Nui. Refer to this image by BIONICLE concept artist Christian Faber. Metru Nui, inside the head of the giant robot, is then technically under the island of Mata Nui. As he’s rendered unconscious his camouflage system automatically kicks in, creating an island full of trees and mountains and stuff on top of his face like a mask. There’s literally an entire universe living inside of it! The Matron Universe.Īt one point Mata Nui is put to sleep and the giant robot body sinks beneath the waves of Aqua Magna.

He’s a “Great Spirit” which inhabits a giant robot. Ok, so let me start with the being who’s called Mata Nui. 3 Each of the Toa is controlled in the portion of the island of Mata Nui that represents their unique elemental power (air, earth, fire, ice, stone, and water, respectively). like, is it under ground? under mata nui? because there’s a sky and sunlight sooo The Legend of Mata Nui is an action-adventure game where the player takes control of the six Toa, each of whom has their own tools, weapons, and elemental powers.

Honestly im still confused as to where the fuck metru nui IS. I know this explanation sounds convoluted, but follow the links I provided! This is an incredible universe that’s lots of fun to explore! And welcome to the fandom! It’s basically the brain of the giant spirit robot that Mata Nui controls.īecause you weren’t sure of the difference between Mata Nui and Metru Nui, I’m assuming you’re new to the fandom. Metru Nui is the much smaller island city inside the head of the Great Spirit Mata Nui’s robot body, AKA the Matron Universe. It was created as a result of the Great Spirit Mata Nui’s camouflage system. The island of Mata Nui is a large island on the ocean planet of Aqua Magna.

They are shaped similarly, but they are two completely different places.
