Glykovians are race of tall, savage beings that were created by Great Spirit Mata Nui to live in Matoran Universe.

History[]

Shortly after the successful departure of the Great Spirit Robot from Spherus Magna, Mata Nui became somewhat overeager with the creation of new species to serve additional functions, resulting in the plethora of different species that would come to inhabit the Matoran Universe. The Glykovian species was one such creation.

Glykovians were brought into existence by Mata Nui with the intent that they would serve as guardians against potential external threats to the Matoran Universe. The majority of their population was placed in the Southern Island chains, where most major access points existed.

Shortly after Velika's tampering with the sapient species of the Matoran Universe, the Glykovian lost sight of their original directive, but continued to stay near their original homes

Eventually, the race was made aware of the fact they had Teleportation abilities, but rarely utilized them regardless. About the same time, they were given the ability to use Kanohi masks but doing so never became commonplace, because they did not need Kanohi to help them. During the Visorak invasion on islands, Glykovians weathered the attack, but were decimated by the Brotherhood of Makuta shortly afterwards

Later, the former Hand of Artakha leader Helryx came to them and offered one or more members of there race to join a new organization, called the Order of Mata Nui. Many members accepted the invitation. A Glykovian ruler, Botar, soon rose to prominence in their ranks as an enforcer. When Botar was killed by Makuta Icarax, the race leader sent a Glykovian named Shreptar to avenge Botar, and to try to bring Icarax to justice. Soon after Shreptar left, Helryx came back to ask for another member of their race to join the Order. A Glykovian who had once been a student of Botar and who respected him, was chosen as Botar's replacement. During the Siege of Metru Nui some Glykovians joined the battle to get revenge on Brotherhood, fighting Rahkshi forces along with Toa and Order of Mata Nui.

When Teridax became Great Spirit, the few members of the race decided to submit peacefully, faced with the annihilation of their species. When Great Spirit Robot was destroyed, Savagers left Matoran Universe for newly reformed Spherus Magna where they decided to occupy Roxtus, former village of Skrall, and have begun to discover the new world and surroundings.

In Matoran Universe Culture[]

Matoran[]

Due to their large size and physical appearance, Glykovians gained a reputation among Matoran as something of a legend, often used in stories as a malevolent presence that would prey on lazy Matoran, with the stories generally becoming more fantastical and obscure the farther away from the Glykovian homeland it became.

Other[]

Glykovians are viewed by most other species as savages, stemming from their strength and place of occupancy, but are feared for their tendency and ability to do whatever they want.

Abilities and Traits[]

Glykovians are known for their immense size, taller than even Imbibers. They possess hideous and intimidating features, meant to shock or frighten opponents. Their bodies are also extremely durable, capable of withstanding devastating blows, and their teeth and claws are capable of tearing through most substances.

Glykovians also possess the ability to teleport themselves and other objects to any place in the Matoran Universe.

Most members of the species are also predisposed to be highly adaptable, single-minded, and persistent. This, combined with their physical capabilities, has given them a reputation as violent and dangerous. Despite that, they rarely engage in unnecessary combat, preferring to preserve themselves, with this tendency heightened after the near-genocide of their species.
