Toa Nuva
Toa are the heroes of the Bionicle mythos, a storyline of adventure and evil made by Lego.
The Toa Nuva
The Toa Nuva (TOA – ah NUH – vuh) are the transformed variations of the original Toa. During the Bohrok saga, the Toa collected the Krana so that they could defeat the Bahrag, twin queens of the Bohrok swarm. After a fierce battle of wits and courage, the Toa combined their power, creating a Protodermic cage that trapped the Bahrag. This unleashed an ancient mehanism, sending the Toa into chambers and being transformed by Protodermis. This gave them new powers, armor, masks and tools. Tahu was the one to come up with their new name: Toa Nuva.
Generally, Toa are pretty tall in height, about twice as tall as Matoran in standard length. By looking at a Mata Nui measurement chart, Toa are about 1.6 bio tall in Matoran standards. They are regarded as heroes of the Matoran, which may mean that 'Toa' in the Matoran language means hero, or protector. Generally, there are six Toa active at a time. Their body is aerobic and well fit for melee and elemental combat. They are the only species, besides the basic exception of Great Beings, that have the ability to control the Great Masks. All in all, they are well equipped for protecting the Matoran.
The Toa Nuva
- Gali Nuva's aqua axes can be attached to her feet to serve as scuba fins. Now there is truly nothing faster or more powerful than her under the water! And she will need that power to save Ga-Koro from the darkness that is on its way. Protector of the oceans and waterways of the island, her Kaukau Nuva allows her to plunge to the very bottom of the sea and survive.
- Kopaka Nuva's new power has, if anything, make him even colder and more remote than the mountain upon which he lives. His ice blade can be split in two to form power ice skates that let him rip through the ice and snow. He wears the Akaku Nuva, using its power to keep watch on all of Ko-Wahi from the top of Mount Ihu.
- Lewa Nuva has grown stronger as a result of his struggles against the Bohrok. His new air katana can be attached to his body to allow him to glide on wind currents. Combined with the power of Miru Nuva, he can now fly high over the island, keeping an eye out for potential threats to the peace of Mata Nui.
- Onua Nuva's wisdom and strength will be needed more than ever in the months to come. Now no place on the island is too far or too dangerous for him to reach, for his quake breakers can be used as high-speed, all-terrain tracks. They can also be used to carve new passages in the earth. Onua Nuva wears the Pakari Nuva, which increases his raw strength to amazing levels.
- Pohatu Nuva's climbing claws make it easier than ever for him to scale the rocky peaks near his village. When joined together, his claws form the legendary Kodan ball. Using the Great Mask of Speed, Kakama Nuva, he has devoted himself to repairing the damage done to Po-Wahi by the rampaging Bohrok.
- Tahu Nuva welcomes his new power most of all. Now he feels even more confident that he can protect Ta-Koro from any danger! When trouble threatens, his magma swords can be joined together to form a lava board that carries him swiftly over the magma flows. He wears the Hau Nuva, which he uses to protect his people against any harm.
