Quoting taranchulas toa of spiders
hey guyes i just joined today but i was thinking why are whenua and onua called toa of earth if they live on mata nui/ aqua magna?

Quoting AMT Guardian of Earth
they are not toa from earth. earth is a synonym for soil, dirt, etc., which makes it one of the primery elements and is why there are toa that control the element. the fact that they are toa of earth doesn't men they actually control our planet, and they aren't aliens to us or even have any recolection of human existence since bionicle is a fictional storyline designed not to come in contact with us.

then why not call it a toa of soil and even if they are fictional they are still aliens because the storyline dosn't take place on earth

Quoting AMT Guardian of Earth
well, toa of soil sounds stupid and uncreative, and toa of earth sounds far more official and practical. but the fact that they are called toa of earth has nothing to do with the planet earth what so every since in their storyline no bionicle has every come in contact with our planet and the storyline was made to never allow such a paradox to occur.
