The Mak-Matoran were an effort by Makaatu to create his own Matoran. He had seen his brother create happy Matoran, he wanted his own too. The result, Mak-Matoran, didn't please him, however. The Matoran were odd and twisted, looking absolutely... stupid. Makaatu was raged by his failure and locked the Matoran in the Cave of Failure, along with a few Bakav and a few failed Rahi creations. The, formerly, Mak-Matoran then moved to Dromii with the others and now live there. There are currently no Mak-Matoran in excistence, since they were changed into First Matoran.
