The Turaga are the spiritual leaders of the islanders, who have the power of the lesser masks, but lack fighting prowess.
The Turagas come in a small Technic box (5" x 3.5" x 1.5" or 12cm x 8cm x 4cm) with a mini-catalog and a fold up set of instructions that has a mini-poster on the other side of the relevant Turaga and his or her Toa buddy.
Vakama: 4" (10cm) tall in orange, red and fl, this is the fire Turaga, or shaman/priest/etc. If you want to know what he looks like more exactly, hit www.bionicle.com and go to the Mata Nui link, he's one of the characters you can interact with.
There are another six figures, called Turaga and representing the 'priests', and each of these smaller figures is someone associated with one of the larger Toa.
Each Turaga also comes from a specific village on the island, and at the web site you can play a video game that involves moving around the island, solving puzzles and surviving dangerous situations.
The boxes for the smaller Turagas are standard Lego fair, but the rest of the priests are pictured on the back.
The turaga ni koro can play an important and crucial role in the development of their villages.
The turaga ni koro discussed what they need to know and do to drive improvement and developments in villages, and to implement government initiatives at village level.
The recent increase of the Turaga ni Koro allowance recognised the importance of their roles in the improvement and development of village lives.

The new Rongo-Tablets where affixed to the base of the crystal telescope through which the keepers of the legend watched the skies for the red star to reach its foretold place among the constellations.
Yet Vakama and the other Turaga grew more troubled as they considered the missing pieces of information that had to be recreated during their restoration.
Through the night and well into the next day the Turaga brooded over their legend and while they told and retold the ancient tales they slowly started to draw a new Rongo-Tablet into the sand.

There's not much I could do with this thing since LEGO already did a lot for me! The one thing I did do though was mount a vahki disc launcher on its back.
I think that the Turaga Dume figure is a complete waste of time, though.
I reely like the fact that turaga dume can get in and out of nivawks "pouch" This toy is great but I like nivawk more than turaga dume.
But it might also shatter their trust in the Turaga forever.
As the Toa Nuva and the Matoran prepare to depart the island of Mata Nui for all time, they turn to Turaga Vakama for tales of the new land to which they will travel: Metru Nui.
Under the guidance of Turaga Dume, and protected by the order enforcement squads called Vahki, the island city was a place of learning and contentment.

The Turaga of Voya Nui who died when the island was broken off its continent was a former Toa of Magnetism and the leader of the only other team of Toa to ever successfully reach the Mask of Life and put it to use.
A turaga of magnetism sounds really cool, especially as a turaga of voya-nui.
I thought the turaga of Voya-nui never left the island.
The Turaga's legend said that the Makuta was a whirling, kicking, screaming, clawing beast.
Like all Rahi, the Nui-Jaga are controlled by the infected masks they wear.
If the masks are removed, the Nui-Jaga will cease fighting and can sometimes even be tamed, but their claws and powerful stingers make the Turaga reluctant to have the Nui-Jaga in their villages.
Players start as a Matoran and unlock more Matoran characters as they progress.
Turaga, with their unique powers, can be "picked up" throughout the game to help the player through an elemental hazard like a lava pool or to activate a switch to a secret door.
Once found, that "picked-up" Turaga follows you onwards in your adventure.
