He later created several other intelligent species, including the Skakdi and Vortixx. Mata Nui created the Makuta species to make Rahi to fill the world, and this race served the Great Spirit as the Brotherhood of Makuta. Mata Nui was enthralled by the worlds he visited, and his interest eventually led to the neglect of his own universe. The Matoran revered him, and erected numerous temples and shrines in his honor. He was given abilities to help him carry out this task, as well as several other powers, such as the ability to create new Matoran. He was also tasked with caring for the Matoran Universe and its' components, which is located inside him providing heat, light, gravity, and ensuring that it operated smoothly, and protecting it from external threats. Amongst those tasks were to observe other universes, so that he could gather information, before fulfilling his primary objective: to heal the planet of Spherus Magna. Once Mata Nui had fully awakened, he was given several tasks by the Great Beings. Energy Storms erupted in Karda Nui, raging within his heart as an indication of his health. Upon the completion of his body, the Great Beings created Mata Nui's spirit and placed it within a special chamber in Metru Nui, granting him full control over the universe. The Great Beings eventually removed him from Karda Nui, and sealed him in an isolated island, to ensure he would not trouble Mata Nui. In order to maintain the body, the Great Beings created Tren Krom, who sustained the universe during its' creation. Over 100,000 years ago, on Spherus Magna, the body of Mata Nui was crafted by Matoran working in darkness through the direction of the Great Beings.
