Shattering is a tertiary Elemental Power sometimes also referred to as Fragmentation.

Aavistus

 * Aavistus have a limited range of Shattering powers.

Makuta of Murtua

 * Rahkshi and Kraata of Fragmentation and all Makuta of Murtua have a limited range of Shattering powers.

Matoran Universe
In the Matoran Universe, Fear is represented by the Matoran prefix Za-, as well as the colors Black and Red. Those who wield it tend to be dark, brooding, and very volatile.

Matoran

 * Xi-Matoran represent the Element of Shattering. Xi-Matoran also contain a very minuscule amount of Shattering energy, to the point where they cause others around them to be slightly unstable. Almost all Matoran, Toa, and Turaga of Shattering are male.
 * Toa of Shattering possess the Elemental Power of Shattering, allowing them to create, control, and absorb explosions, as well as other abilities such as inducing objects to rupture. Their only real limitation is that when they run out of Elemental Shattering Energy, they must wait for it to recharge.
 * Turaga of Shattering possess small traces of Elemental Shattering power.

Makuta

 * Rahkshi and Kraata of Fragmentation and all Makuta have a limited range of Shattering powers.

Examples

 * Creating violent explosions.
 * Controlling explosions.
 * Manipulating explosions.
 * Unleashing a Shattering Nova Blast. (Toa-exclusive)

Combinations

 * Beings other than Toa and the Krahka cannot combine powers of any sort to create a Protodermis Cage. As long as each wields a different element, and providing that Light and Shadow are not included at the same time, then any six Toa can create a Protodermis Cage.
