Tamaru (Shadowmaster)

Tamaru is a character in the New New Shadowmaster Universe.

Biography
After Mata Nui and Teridax finally allied and reformed Spherus Magna, Tamaru went to and lived in Tesara with other Jungle Agori and Le-Matoran. However, one day, Takanuva came to Tamaru, gave him a Toa stone, and told him to jump into a pool of Terradermis, a powerful liquid. Reluctantly, Tamaru did as he was told, and when he emerged, he was a Toa, along with 5 other Matoran. However, there was an accident, and Tamaru's mask and element were replaced by a Faxon and plantlife, respectively. Unlike Dalu, though, he did not lose his memory.

Abilities and Traits
Tamaru is cheerful and boisterous, but he sometimes talks so fast that even his fellow Le-Matoran can have a hard time understanding him. Tamaru is a somewhat clumsy Matoran, but he is eager to help. His greatest dream is to fly, but unlike most Le-Matoran, he is afraid of heights. According to what he told Takua when he and the rest of the Chronicler's Company were traveling to Kini-Nui, Tamaru can swim, unlike other Le-Matoran, who dislike water.

Being a Toa, Tamaru now controls the element of Jungle, also known as "the Green".

Tools
Tamaru carries a Plant Sword and an Energy Sword, which allow him to channel his elemental powers. He can also summon a lightning bolt from his Energy Sword.
