“Gormiti: The Invincible Lords of Nature” (Gli Invincibili Signori della Natura) is a toy property based primarily on 2 inch tall non-articulated minifigures with a trading card game play aspect.[1] The toys were created in Italy in 2005 by Grani & Partners/Gruppo Preziosi (Giochi Preziosi).[2]

Plot

On a distant Island a long time ago, the story of Gormiti begins...

The magnificent Island of Gorm was once inhabited by peaceful nature-loving people. They lived peacefully under the guidance of The Old Sage, keeper of secrets and magic, in their village at the foot of Fire Mountain a massive, dormant volcano that had never threatened the peaceful Island...

until now. One day Fire Mountain showed its fierce nature by exploding through the earth and into the air. The once green and lush land transformed into a black, burnt, desolate waste area. From the ashes rose strange creatures, moulded from the heat of the lava and led by Magmion, lord of evil. These creatures of fire were called the lords of Magma and Magmion craved the souls of the defenseless Gormiti.

The prediction was coming true "From the deep, dangerous creatures were rising. They would sweep the land, good would then return and battle a fate worse than extinction."

Time passed and the lava tribe ruled the Island of Gorm unopposed. However, without opposing enemies, they starved.

The great eclipse

The island of Gorm is still being destroyed by the battles between the Gormiti, with no-one as yet emerging the winner. The curse of the evil Magmion, who had sown the seeds of unhappiness thousands of years ago, still rages on, with his power and strength increasing all the time.

All the Gormiti have now evolved and every tribe has become stronger and more powerful. New warriors have risen, but they continue once again to the island of Gorm.....the tension grows as the battles come closer but an evil presence hides in the darkness plotting against peace for the people of Gorm.....will this island ever be calm again? The future must be decided......

Tribes

The Gormiti consist of several tribes, with corresponding colors. Each tribe is led by a Frela represented by a larger, more powerful character.

The four good Tribes:

  • Earth (Yellow) - Lords: Gheos, Kollosus, L'Antico Thorg, Lords of the Earth. The Earth Tribe features stone motifs and characters resembling golems, rock elementals, mole, insects and other ground dwelling creatures.
  • Forest (Green)- Tasarau, Barbataus, Grandalbero, Lord of the Forest. The Forest Tribe features primarily tree and plant based characters.

Series 3 added 2 new Tribes:

  • Light (Yellow/Silver) Lord: The Supreme Luminescent. The Light Tribe features geometric characters resembling armored warriors.
