Frequently asked questions
- What was the Po-Suva?
- The Po-Suva was Pohatu's Suva, the stone-village shrine in Po-Koro that held his Nuva Symbol and the Kanohi masks he had collected during his time on Mata Nui. It was one of the six island Suva, one for each member of the Toa Mata.
- What did the Po-Suva do?
- Each Suva served as both a Kanohi repository and a psychic anchor. Through the Po-Suva, Pohatu could mentally retrieve any of the Kanohi stored there from anywhere on the island and could maintain a connection to the elemental power the Suva stabilised.
- How did the Bohrok-Kal raid the Po-Suva?
- The Bohrok-Kal raided the Po-Suva to steal Pohatu's Nuva Symbol, exploiting the flaw that removing a Symbol from its Suva cut the linked Toa Nuva's connection to his element. Gahlok-Kal, the magnetic member of the squad, magnetised a herd of Mahi outside Po-Koro and drove them at Pohatu to occupy him while the Symbol was lifted.
- What happened to Pohatu after his Nuva Symbol was stolen?
- Pohatu lost the use of his stone element from the moment the Symbol left the Po-Suva. He remained without it until the Toa Nuva reasserted mental control over the Symbols at the Bahrag chamber during the final confrontation with the Bohrok-Kal.
- What happened to the Po-Suva in the end?
- After the Matoran returned to Metru Nui, the Po-Suva was destroyed in the second Bohrok awakening, when the Toa Nuva deliberately reawakened the swarms to clear the surface of Mata Nui. Source records differ, with the consolidated Suva entry listing it as moved to Metru Nui while the dedicated Po-Suva entry records its destruction, but in either reading the physical Po-Suva did not outlast the surface of Mata Nui.
