Makuta “bleed” antidermis when their armor is breached. Other than that, though:
“MU inhabitants have the equivalent of a lubrication system. They do not have blood.”

My headcanon is that Glatorian/Agori blood corresponds to their skin color (as indicated by each character’s head piece). So Ackar has orange blood, Strakk has blue blood, Kiina has green blood, etc. None of them have red blood like humans. Since they’re all the same species, my guess is blood/skin color is a relatively random trait akin to human gender, hair color, or eye color.

Black people don’t bleed black blood and white people don’t bleed white blood. Humans bleed the same color blood.
If a Glatorian bleeds, it’ll be the same color regardless of what tribe they’re from

That’s a lot more logical than what I wrote. I was thinking of rare conditions like the “Blue Fugates” of Kentucky who had blue skin due to a genetic blood disorder called methemoglobenemia, which also causes discolored blood.
But your explanation makes way more sense since skin variation in Glatorian/Agori isn’t a condition, it’s normal variation, so blood color wouldn’t play a role.
In any case though, Glatorian or Agori skin color doesn’t correspond to tribe. From the fire tribe, Raanu had an orange head, Crotesius had a blue head, and Perditus had a green head.
why, exactly?

Blame biology.
Though if they do have different color blood, I guess that would be kind of funny to see a battlefield of different tribe Glatorians with their blood looking like a paintball match gone wrong

maybe their blood is just clear
The biological processes which dictate blood and skin color are different–in humans, at least. Skin color is related to the amounts of the pigment melanin which you have in your skin cells, while blood is a totally different form of cell that has no difference in pigmentation or color.
Now, this is not to say that Glatorian and Agori would necessarily have to follow the same biological logic as humans, but it stands to reason that, even if they don’t, the cells that make up their blood probably have little to no effect on the cells that make up their skin.

Not sure how this this topic turned into a race thing.
