Taipu is a miner, and among the strongest Onu-Matoran. He was gullible and playful.
[edit] Metru Nui
Not much is known about Taipu on Metru Nui, but he was taken away by Vahki and put into a Matoran Pod.
[edit] Mata Nui
On Mata Nui, Taipu helped build a passageway between Onu-Wahi and Le-Wahi. He journied with Takua to Le-Koro, but was captured by a Nui-Rama. He escaped with the Le-Matoran after the battle between Lewa and Onua. Taipu joined the Chronicler's Company and helped move a rock. Hafu carved it into a statue of himself. Taipu then helped defend the Kini-Nui from the vicious Rahi along with the Chronicler's Company. The Company nearly failed, and might have if the Ta-Matoran Guard, Le-Matoran Gukko Force, and the Onu-Matoran Ussalry hadn't shown up in the nick of time.
When the Gahlok raided Onu-Koro, he, Onepu, and Nuparu were trapped in a cave. They then found a Gahlok, but it was deactivated without a Krana. Then Nuparu engineered from the Bohrok pieces a machine called the Boxor. With it, they broke out of the cavern and saved Onu-Koro.
He was also an Onu-Koro Kolhii player, and lost against Hahli and Macku.
[edit] Trivia
- Taipu was a candidate for the next Chronicler. Kopeke won in the end.
- In the MNOLG, Taipu had a Ruru, Hafu and Kapura had Pakari. It was meant to be vice-versa.
