Podu

"I'm sore all over."

- Podu, Quest for the Toa

Podu is a Po-Matoran native to Metru Nui.

Metru Nui
On Metru Nui, Podu lived and worked in Po-Metru before the Great Cataclysm. He was captured by the Vahki under the command of Makuta Teridax, disguised as Turaga Dume. He was then forced into a Matoran Sphere, but was later rescued by the Toa Metru and awakened on the shores of Naho Bay on the Isle of Mata Nui when the Toa Metru sacrificed their Toa Power and became Turaga Metru for the Matoran's sake.

Mata Nui
Podu was reduced in size and strength physically by the effects of the Matoran Spheres and he also forgot his previous life on Metru Nui. He participated in the construction of Po-Koro, under the direction of Turaga Metru Onewa, utilizing material from Airships, which the Toa had used to transport the Matoran to Mata Nui in. During the time when Takua was traversing the island on his quest for the Toa Stones Podu became trapped under several large boulders, which fell due to a wild kick while practicing his Kolhii game in Po-Wahi. When Takua spoke with Podu's training partner while passing through Po-Wahi on his way to Po-Koro, he was informed of the trapped Po-Matoran's situation, and asked to assist. Takua tossed three rocks out of the way then rolled a larger one from atop Podu, freeing him. The sore but grateful Podu gifted an Amana Volo Sphere to Takua as thanks for rescuing him. Podu, among his fellow Matoran, was evacuated to Ga-Koro after the likelihood of Tahnok Swarms defeating them during the Attack on Po-Koro became imminent during the Bohrok Invasion. When the Pahrak Swarms threatened the Matoran in Ga-Koro, Podu withstood the Bohrok's assault along with all the other Matoran present, before the Bahrag were defeated by the Toa Mata. He later returned with the rest of the Po-Matoran to Po-Koro and was eventually rebuilt into a stronger form after the defeat of the Bohrok-Kal.

Return to Metru Nui
Podu also helped in the construction of Boats to assist in the return to Metru Nui, where he now resides. After Teridax revealed himself following the awakening of Mata Nui, and Rahkshi swarmed the city of Metru Nui, he appointed Ahkmou to be the new "Turaga" of Metru Nui, who then in turn ordered Podu and the other Po-Matoran to create statues of "The Makuta".
