Personality and Traits
Tamaru was cheerful and boisterous and sometimes spoke so fast that even his fellow Le-Matoran had a hard time understanding him. Tamaru was a somewhat clumsy Matoran, but eager to help. His greatest dream was to fly, but unlike most Le-Matoran, he was afraid of heights.

— Tamaru's clue
"I do not fear-dread my fate. I was spirit-blessed to serve alongside the Chronicler, protecting the Toa-heroes from the Makuta's beasts. Now, there are most Toa-heroes, ready to grab-take the mantle and finish what the Toa-heroes started. It is past-late do act now. Your fate has been closed-sealed!"
