Matoran (Earth-4001)/Ga-Matoran

Ga-Matoran were Matoran with innate Water powers.

Culture
These water Matoran lived on the shores of the sea, so they had a sleeker build, better lung capacity, and other physical advantages for swimming. All Ga-Matoran were female, whilst most of the other types were composed entirely of males. Most Ga-Matoran tended to be peaceful and friendly, though there were exceptions, such as Dalu. Ga-Matoran culture put the most value on the virtue of Unity and its principle of Purity. In Metru Nui, about half of the Ga-Matoran were teachers and most of the other half were students; the best were promoted to work on protodermis purification. On Mata Nui, they were mostly boaters and fisherwomen.

The Ga-Matoran tended to be very dedicated to honoring the Great Spirit and focused on Unity above all else. The only Matoran who generally visited Ga-Metru were Ko-Matoran.

Trivia

 * Ga-Matoran have been referred to as "water-ladies" or "water-maidens" by the Le-Matoran and Onu-Matoran.
