Description: Nuztro is a Motari lightstone carver. He also works as an engineer and chemist, though he is more of a “jack of all trades, master of none”. He often explores the desert for lightstone crystals to carve and sell. With his knowledge, he attempts to aid caravans that get damaged on their journeys.

Personality: Nuztro is relatively quiet and easy-going, though can be quite silver-tongued when needed. He likes to relax, and can often be seen travelling the desert on the back of a Husi bird. Due to his work, he often comes across caravans and the occasional raiding group. However, he retains a neutrality among them; having even bartered with both Hafu and Pouks.

Abilities: Nuztro is often seen with his shovel strapped to his back. Although he has had no formal training, he is fairly skilled in wielding it as a weapon. Common techniques include twirling it like a staff or sticking it in the ground to vault over.

Nuztro is also proficient in utilizing his element of stone. Although he often forms standard sized rocks to throw, he has been seen forming a boulder around the head of his shovel and swinging it down like a hammer. He is also not above using cheap tricks in battle, and will spray sand in the opponent’s face when he’s struggling.

Nuztro’s main weapon is his resourcefulness. Before any fighting ever happens, he will usually attempt to talk his way out of trouble. However, in the event this fails, he will use his surroundings to his advantage. This includes putting objects between himself and his opponent, leading them into natural traps like Rahi nests, or even flashing a lightstone in their face to momentarily blind them.

Background: Nuztro grew up in a nomadic tribe, travelling the vast Motaran Desert. During this time, he learned of the various raiding groups that scoured the dunes. When the capital city was established, he and his family settled there. Over time, he began to travel the desert in search of lightstones and other goods. He eventually met and bartered with Ahkmou, who had recently overthrown Pouks. As a jest for the new gatekeeper, Nuztro nicknamed his Husi bird “Pouks”.

Year 1: When the island was frozen, Nuztro was traversing the desert on his Husi. Once unfrozen, he returned to the capital, where he learned of the Toa.

Year 2: As the Civil War drew close, Nuztro began helping caravans of Hafu, Valika, and Ahkmou in order to stay neutral among the three bosses. Eventually he started a ferrying service for Matoran of all regions, by leading them through the desert with his Husi. Since he wasn’t much of a fighter, he refused to side with any specific region, even his own.

Nuztro’s Husi Pouks


Nuztro was made using TTV’s Toa design as a base and making the details based on Ven’s Matoran designs. The husi used an image of the set as a base.

Pretty good Self-G3 Matoran, sounds like he could be used in a side-story during the Civil War (as a side-Character), outside of the main one with the Toa.

Thanks :grinning:

That’s one of the interesting parts about how G3 is set up. A lot of the self-mocs could be used as matoran in the crowd for the show. Even if they don’t actually do anything. That way they don’t need to bother with coming up with extra designs or copy-pasting the same matoran in different colors.
