'''Ko-Koro''' was the village of [[Ice]] on the island of {{p|Mata Nui|Location}}. It was north of [[Le-Koro]], south of [[Po-Koro]], and west of [[Ta-Koro]].

== History ==
Ko-Koro's location was originally chosen by [[Toa]] [[Nuju]] after the events of the Great Cataclysm, during which the [[Toa Metru]] came with the Matoran of Metru Nui to the island of Mata Nui. After arriving on Mata Nui, the Toa went to explore the island. Toa Nuju climbed atop a great mountain, which he would name [[Mount Ihu|Ihu]], in honor of his [[Ihu|deceased mentor]]. The village of Ice would later be established on this mountain. After the [[Ko-Matoran]] were [[Great Rescue|brought]] to the island and reawakened, they helped construct the village, under their [[Turaga]], [[Nuju]]'s supervision, taking materials from [[Airship]]s used in the Great Rescue.{{BookCitation|BW}}{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|7}}

After the first anniversary of their settlement, the village began to suffer from [[Infected Kanohi|infected]] [[Rahi]] attacks. [[Teridax]]'s [[Great War|harassment]] would continue for centuries until the coming of Toa [[Kopaka]].

The village remained largely isolated from the rest of the island during the thousand years that followed, rarely contacting the other villages or being contacted in turn. Nevertheless, the Ko-Matoran played a large part in the [[Great War]], having learned to be master trackers and hunters. When [[Toa Mata]] Kopaka arrived on the island, the [[Suva#Ko-Suva|Ko-Suva]] was used to house the Kanohi masks he collected. Shortly after the Matoran [[Takanuva|Takua]] visited the village, Ko-Koro came under attack by huge numbers of infected Rahi that appeared out of [[the Drifts]]. They managed to fight off the waves of Rahi, and when the attacks suddenly stopped, Turaga Nuju sent Ko-Matoran to reinforce the [[Battle for Kini-Nui|defense]] of [[Kini-Nui]].

Ko-Koro was also damaged during the [[Bohrok Invasion|strike]] of the [[Bohrok]] [[Tahnok]], but was repaired with the help of the [[Krana]]-less machines and Bohrok Va. The village was later raided by [[Nuhvok-Kal]] and [[Kohrak-Kal]], who stole Kopaka's [[Nuva Symbol]]. It was later recovered following the [[Battle Against the Bohrok-Kal|defeat]] of the [[Bohrok-Kal]], and placed in a secret location near the village. Ko-Koro later played host to the [[Ga-Koro]]/Ko-Koro [[Kolhii]] game of the [[Kolhii Tournament]], with Ga-Koro proving the victors, something that Turaga Nuju had apparently predicted. Soon after, the village was partially destroyed by the [[Rahkshi]].{{BookCitation|MoL|89}} Shortly after, the village was deserted as all the Matoran returned to Metru Nui.

When the [[Toa Nuva]] freed the [[Bahrag]] queens, and awakened the Bohrok once more, Ko-Koro was completely destroyed by the swarms. The location was later wiped from existence by {{p|Mata Nui|Being}}'s awakening.

== Landscape ==
Ko-Koro was located in [[Ko-Wahi]], hidden beneath a giant block of ice that separated two glaciers and surrounded by huge crevasses. The village itself had a single gate facing a massive crevasse, which was guarded at all times by the [[Sanctum Guard]]. The only other known entrance was a tunnel that led from the [[Sanctum]] to the Drifts. Inside the village, the Matoran lived in either [[Matoran Homes|huts]] made of ice on the ground, or in rooms carved into the glaciers that surrounded the village.

The most famous location in Ko-Koro was the Sanctum, which contained the [[Sanctum#Wall of Prophecy|Wall of Prophecy]].

== Inhabitants ==
=== [[Ko-Matoran]] ===
The Ko-Matoran were the primary residents of Ko-Koro. Here, they attended to day-to-day activities such as making prophesies or meditating, in addition to being master Rahi hunters and trap-builders. Due to the Ko-Matoran's resistance to cold weather, they were the only Matoran able to establish permanent settlements here.

=== Notable Former Inhabitants ===
* [[Nuju]]: Village [[Turaga]] and leader, former [[Toa Metru]] of [[Ice]].
* [[Matoro]]: Nuju's right-hand Matoran, [[Kolhii]] champion and Nuju's translator; former [[Toa Inika]] and [[Toa Mahri]]; now deceased.
* [[Kopeke]]: Nuju's left-hand Matoran and former member of the [[Chronicler's Company]], now the [[Chronicler]] of [[Metru Nui]].
* [[Kopaka]]: [[Toa Mata]]-turned-[[Toa Nuva]] of Ice.
