'''Carvers''' are [[Matoran]] who carve tools and statues, among other things. Since the carvings are usually made from [[Stone]] or [[Ice]], most Carvers are either [[Po-Matoran]] or [[Ko-Matoran]].

== History ==
On [[Metru Nui]], the district of [[Po-Metru]] was almost entirely devoted to carving. The large, open expanses of this region were known as the [[Sculpture Fields]], because of the concentration of statues and carvings which dominated the landscape. Huge blocks of raw Protodermis were the starting point for Metru Nui sculptures. Carvers worked for weeks and months on one statue.

On Mata Nui, Carvers were most common in Po-Koro. Whereas Ko-Matoran Ice Carvers kept and displayed their work in [[Ko-Koro]], [[Po-Koro]] Carvers usually sent their creations with [[Trader]]s to be sold at other marketplaces, like the [[Onu-Koro]] bazaar, or at small kiosks in the [[Motara Desert]]. The profession of Carving was represented by the [[Po-Koro Chisel|Chisel]].

During the Dark Time, a conflict occurred between Po-Matoran Carvers and [[Onu-Matoran]] [[Miner]]s after a miner made a observation about the quality of specific carvings. The Po-Matoran took exception to the comment and criticized the miners for inferior stone. The argument rose until Matoran began throwing rocks, shovels, and hammers between the two camps, forcing the [[Turaga]] to intervene. They devised a competition to settle the dispute, which evolved into the game of [[Kolhii]].

After the arrival of the [[Toa Mata]], carving almost came to a halt due to the [[Po-Koro Epidemic]]. Instead of creating art, [[Turaga]] [[Onewa]] and other Carvers were fashioning beds to help the sickly Po-Matoran. [[Takua]] managed to solve the mystery of the epidemic, however, and carving resumed. Later, [[Kopeke]] the Ice Carver demonstrated his great ability in the crafting of a key for the [[Gate of Ice]]. Hafu also lent his carving skills to the clearing of a path to the [[Kini-Nui]] for the [[Chronicler's Company]] to pass through.

When the Matoran returned to Metru Nui, Carvers resumed work in the Sculpture Fields.

== Master Carver ==
The Master Carver was a title attributed to the Po-Matoran whose works exhibited the finest craftsmanship. [[Hafu]] was the Master Carver of Po-Koro.
