“8545 Whenua is a BIONICLE set of the Turaga Whenua, Turaga of Earth on Mata Nui. Whenua has a drill as a tool, and the Noble Kanohi Ruru, Mask of Night Vision. Whenua was one of the first six Turaga released as a set. Turaga Whenua is known for his honesty. Pushing the lever... More on his back will cause his arm to move. Whenua could be combined with Vakama, Nokama, Matau, Onewa, and Nuju to make a Turaga-Nui.”

Whenua: The wise Turaga of Onu-Koro — “Whenua is one of the six small Turaga sets that were released in 2001. This set is now somewhat rare, and a great prize to any collection. I purchased my copy from Bricklink for only 5.00 USD - a good deal for the size and relative value of the set. In the Bionicle story,... More Turaga Whenua is the Turaga of the village of Earth, Onu-Koro, on the island of Mata Nui. He is a pretty important character in the storyline. Along with his powers and collectable mask, this makes him a set that is greatly valued by the Bionicle community.”
