Great Beings
Matoran legend says that the Great Spirit Mata Nui was sent by the even more powerful Great Beings. They are scientist-like beings known for their numerous creations and advanced technology they make them from. They created the Matoran, Toa, and almost everything else in the matoran universe using Nanotechnology. They designed Matoran after the Agori and based the Toa after the Element lords. But while Mata Nui is said to protect the universe, the Great Beings are said to create universes. Since putting Mata Nui in charge, they have not paid much attention to this universe and were unaware of all the events that happened in it including Mata Nui's coma, death, revival, awakening, and banishment.
Although Great Beings are more powerful than the Great Spirit, they are not as big as the Great Spirit's body. The Great Beings have left behind several artifacts and beings for specific purposes; such beings include Umbra, the Kanohi Ignika, the Bohrok, the twin Bahrag, Tren Krom, Artakha, Karzahni, and even the Great Spirit Mata Nui himself.
It has been revealed in the official web serials that the Great Beings had lived on Spherus Magna before it split into three segments. Their current location is mostly unknown, but it is known that at least one is on Bota Magna, but that one is evil. Other than that, there is only one Great Being, Angonce, who is inside the fortress in the Valley of the Maze.

“Until we devise means of discovering workers who are temperamentally irked by monotony it will be well to take for granted that the majority of human beings cannot safely be regimented at work without relief in the form of education and recreation and pleasant surroundings.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
