The region and its tribe#

The Jungle Villagers were the population of one of the most varied of the six elemental regions of OkotoOkotoOkoto is a world whose known inhabitants include the Toa, the Mask makers, and the Protectors.. The Region of JungleRegion of JungleThe rainforest region of Okoto, home of the Jungle Tribe and the Protector of Jungle, ground over which Lewa sought the Golden Mask of Jungle and bonded with Uxar, and the coast from which the Labyrinth of Control rose offshore. was home to many of the island's ancient ruins and to a forest country full of astounding sights and great danger in equal measure. Mysterious swamps cut through the lower elevations, gigantic trees supported levitating islands above the canopy, and the regional record retained more uncatalogued wonders than the other five regions taken together. The tribe organised its settlements around the safer stretches of the forest and the levitating islands, in locations selected for protection from the swamp country's hazards and for proximity to the routes that connected the regional villages.

The arrangement matched the wider OkotanOkotanThe Okotans were the villager population of Okoto, six regional groups corresponding to the island's six elemental regions, who lived through the Battle of the Mask Makers, the long retreat into the lesser villages, and the recovery of the Ancient City after the defeat of Kulta and the revival of Ekimu. pattern. Each of the six OkotanOkotanThe Okotans were the villager population of Okoto, six regional groups corresponding to the island's six elemental regions, who lived through the Battle of the Mask Makers, the long retreat into the lesser villages, and the recovery of the Ancient City after the defeat of Kulta and the revival of Ekimu. regional tribes lived in its own kind of settlement, built in the material the region supplied and oriented around the Protector's headquarters as the centre of local authority. The Jungle Villagers were the population of the forest country and the tribe with the densest cover of any of the six regions. Their settlements were clustered, defensible, and adapted to the canopy environment that the region's gigantic trees produced, with the elevated and levitating sites supplying a degree of shelter the swamp country could not match. The terrain reduced the volume of casual cross-region travel, and most journeys between the Villages of JungleRegion of JungleThe rainforest region of Okoto, home of the Jungle Tribe and the Protector of Jungle, ground over which Lewa sought the Golden Mask of Jungle and bonded with Uxar, and the coast from which the Labyrinth of Control rose offshore. were planned around known crossings of the swamps and the canopy routes that the tribe knew and outsiders did not. The record preserves the case of NilkuuNilkuu, Protector of Stone of OkotoNilkuu was the village elder and Protector of Stone in the second age of Okoto, wielder of the Elemental Sandstone Blaster, rescuer of Bingzak, and guide who led Pohatu across the desert to the Golden Mask of Stone., the Protector of Stone, who became lost in the region until a young Jungle villager named BingzakBingzakBingzak was a young villager from the Region of Jungle on Okoto, sole apparent survivor of a Skull Spider raid that destroyed his village, rescued by Nilkuu in the forest and the guide who led the Protector of Stone to the Temple of Time. accompanied him to the Temple of TimeThe Temple of TimeThe Protectors' most sacred site on Okoto, built to house the Mask of Time and the place at which Ekimu received the vision that prepared the island for the coming of the Toa..

Many villagers of the same settlement were identical to one another, with the same colouring drawn from the regional pattern that the Mask MakersThe Mask MakersThe two legendary craftsmen of Okoto, Ekimu and Makuta, who forged the island's Kanohi and whose rivalry ended in the cataclysm at Capital City. had originally shaped. The masks they wore were the powerless masks common to the OkotanOkotanThe Okotans were the villager population of Okoto, six regional groups corresponding to the island's six elemental regions, who lived through the Battle of the Mask Makers, the long retreat into the lesser villages, and the recovery of the Ancient City after the defeat of Kulta and the revival of Ekimu. population, although the tribe retained, like its siblings in the other regions, the latent capacity to use some mask powers when the occasion arose.

The early peace and the cataclysm#

In the period before the Battle of the Mask MakersThe Battle of the Mask MakersThe unveiling of the Mask of Ultimate Power at Capital City, the strike of the Hammer of Power, and the cataclysm that drew a metropolis into the Shadow Realm and left Okoto without its Mask Makers., the Jungle Villagers lived in relative peace under the semi-leadership of the Mask MakersThe Mask MakersThe two legendary craftsmen of Okoto, Ekimu and Makuta, who forged the island's Kanohi and whose rivalry ended in the cataclysm at Capital City. and the order they had shaped the island to support.

The forest country was, by its nature, already organised for cover, and the combination of canopy settlements and levitating island sites supplied protection from the post-cataclysm conditions that the open swamp country could not match.

The Skull Spider menace#
