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.

Famous quotes containing the word beings:
“I call the years when our children are between six and twelve the “golden years,” not because everything’s perfect . . . but because the kids are capable and independent. . . . They’re becoming fascinating human beings who continually astound us and make us laugh. And they build our self-esteem. They still adore us for the most part, not yet having reached that age of thinking everything we do is dumb, old-fashioned and irrelevant.”
—Vicki Lansky (20th century)
“... idleness is an evil. I don’t think man can maintain his balance or sanity in idleness. Human beings must work to create some coherence. You do it only through work and through love. And you can only count on work.”
—Barbara Terwilliger (b. c. 1940)
