Air was one of the six primary elemental powers in the Matoran universe. It was associated with the color green and the Matoran prefix le. Beings with the elemental power of air, such as Toa of Air, possessed various air-related abilities, including summoning gusts of wind, creating cyclones, controlling air currents to assist in gliding or flying, controlling air pressure, and creating vacuums. It could be combined with the elemental power of water to create thunderstorms. Matoran of Air were called Le-Matoran.
Le-Matoran on Metru Nui and Mata Nui wore masks and armor in green, light green, teal, and dark green.
Notes
Air did not have structure on its own, but Toa of Air often gave it structure.1
Vacuum was essentially a special Air power.2
A Toa of Air could control air pressure.3
As a rule, Toa of Air were free spirits.4
A Toa of Air could create a vacuum on land by removing air from a given space, but it's possible he couldn't do the same underwater because there's no air to remove.5
A Toa of Air couldn't use air currents to form or disperse a rainstorm without the help of a Toa of Water.6
Other Information
- Greg Farshtey didn't see the point in making vacuum a Toa element when Toa of Air could already create it as part of their powers.7
