The Gormiti were designed by Leandro Consumi and Gianfranco Henrietto for the Giochi Preziosi toy company. The production of the animated series has been entrusted to Marathon Media, for a total of 52 episodes each lasting 25 minutes.

The main protagonists are the teenagers Nick, Lucas, Toby and Jessica who, thanks to their magical lymph, can cross the dimensional gap and enter the world of Gorm, to transform themselves into Gormiti - the Lords of Nature.

The story begins on a distant planet, on the island of Gorm where the people of the peaceful Gormiti lived, who lived on the slopes of the extinct volcano called "The Mount of Fire", which fed numerous legends. At the head of the Gormiti was the Old Wise, who wisely protected his people. One day the Volcano resumed its activity and a shower of lapilli and lava began from the mountain. From the red-hot crater, strange creatures began to appear, shaped by lava. They were the soldiers of the evil Magmion the Lord of the Volcano, who exterminated the people of Gormiti. The Old Sage was able to save himself and from his tears of pain, for the disappearance of his people, the Eye of Life was born. Thanks to this precious gem he created a new lineage of Gormiti: the peoples of the Earth, the Forest, the Sea and the Air.
After a respite, Magor returned to the attack with an attempt to seize the Eyes of Life, kept in the Roscamar cave, but this time he will have to contend with the powerful Lords of Nature.
A violent battle ensues in the "Plain of the Mists", where the brave Neozon and the Ancient Guardians also intervene. The evil wizards of Magor, seeing their army in difficulty, decided to unite their dark forces, to make them converge in a unique and powerful magic. Even the Gormiti del Vecchio Saggio did the same and from the clash of these uncontrollable energies, a gigantic vortex called the "Great ultra-dimensional bubble" arose, which sucked inside most of the two armies, which dispersed in time and space. So it also happened for the Four Eyes of Life, which forced Magor to cross the Great Bubble, in a desperate attempt to recover them. The Old Sage did not give up and thanks to the help of the Ancient Guardians, he evoked a magic that made Magor disperse and brought the Eyes of Life back to the island of Gorm, but in turn sucked the Ancient Guardians into the dimensional gap. . The Wise Old Man had saved Gorm from his greatest danger, but the island of Gormiti was still threatened by the presence of Magmion, Lavion and Horror and unfortunately no longer had the protection of the Lords of Nature. In order to save his planet, the Old Sage decided to jump into the ultra-dimensional Great Bubble to seek help, so he happened upon planet Earth of the Prehistoric Era.
Inside a cave he found a dimensional gap, which connected him to the island of Gorm and here he hid the Four Eyes of Life and his books of magic. Over the centuries, the Old Sage carefully studied the behavior of human beings and finally found those who were destined to embody the four Lords of nature.

One of these is Lucas, a generous boy who loves plants, who embodies the Lord of the Forest. The second is Toby is a restless boy who can transform into Poivrons, the Lord of the Sea and is able to control the water with the power of thought. It has hair that it uses as tentacles and powerful arms, like the pincers of a giant crab. The third is Jessica, a fantasy-loving 12-year-old girl, capable of transforming herself into the Lady of the Air, a winged woman with astonishing, yet sharp butterfly wings, who can create violent hurricanes and release waves of energy from her hands. Finally we find Nick, the intellectual of the group, who can transform into the Lord of the Earth, a man made of rock, able to create earthquakes with the strength of his fist. Together they can travel to the island of Gorm through the dimensional gap and help the Gormiti, in the fight against the gigantic and terrible Magmion, the Lord of the Volcano. To support the four boys in their mission is the little dinosaur Razzle, who serves as a guide on the island of Gorm and dispenses them with valuable advice.

In episode The sulphurous stone, an American farmer, who sees his corn plantation explode by eruptions of sulfur gas from the ground. Meanwhile, brothers Nick and Toby feel free to do whatever they want, in the absence of their parents from home. However Nick is a diligent boy and reminds Toby to carry out all the housework, but given his brother's lack of enthusiasm he decides to do it himself. Jessica and Lucas arrive and the boys learn on the news about the strange case of the corn farmer. Razzle explains to the boys that the phenomenon depends on the danger that threatens the island of Gorm. The young people then head to the temple of the elements, a secret laboratory located in the basement of their home. Razzle explains that for centuries the Gormiti people of the earth have held the great power of the Sulphurous Stone. The theft of the stone has caused many tensions on Gorm, which have caused strange phenomena on earth. Their task will be to recover the Sulfur Stone and return it to the Gormiti of the earth. The command of the mission is entrusted to Lucas, the Lord of the Forest. On his station he activates the crystals, which send Toby, Jessica and Nick to the island of Gorm, while he acts as a guide and regulates the life energy that transforms his friends into the Lords of Nature. These are attacked by the Gormiti of the earth, as they believe they have something to do with the thieves of the sulphurous stone. Nick demonstrates their peaceful intentions when in the guise of the lord of the earth, he kneels before the hostile Gormiti, who stop their anger by recognizing the gesture of the bow of honor. The Gormiti of the earth show the four boys the place where the sulphurous stone was stolen by the lava eaters. Their magic turned the stone into a dangerous weapon and after fighting numerous battles, but the strength of the stone made them invincible. Just then two lava eaters arrive, threatening the Gormiti.

In episode The statues of the Falcon, we find the island of Gorm struggling with another trouble. In the floating fortresses of the people of the air, a dimensional rift has opened, which is also having repercussions on earth, with a dangerous meteor shower. Lonely Eagle needs help in dealing with Cruel Arachno, who has stolen the magical Falcon statue. To complicate matters there is also the terrible Magmion who wants to bury everyone with his lava. Will Nick, Toby, Jessica and Lucas be able to help their friends, even in this venture?

In episode The crown of Obscurio, we find the city of Venture City covered with a thick blanket of snow. Everything appears silent and soft, but the white mantle melts visibly and the city is suddenly hit by an anomalous heat wave. The answer to the strange phenomenon is to be found on the island of Gorm. In the Volcano People's Region, Deep Horror is attempting to fire into Obscurio's cave. The Lords of Nature have the task of stopping him immediately and finding out what he is up to.

Gormiti Nature Unleashed

New and unprecedented adventures are arriving on television screens to the delight of the little fans of the inhabitants of the island of Gorm: we speak from the series "Gormiti Nature Unleashed", scheduled for next autumn on Cartoon Network and then on other TV networks. These are 26 episodes, lasting about 25 minutes each, produced by a collaboration between Mondo TV and Giochi Preziosi on the story taken from the US series Man of Action. The story of the new series is centered on 4 characters, the brave princes of Gorm, or Noctis, Piron and Tasaru led by Agrom called to fight against the evil forces represented by the evil Magor. But first it is necessary to take a step back, about three thousand years ago when Magor, the king of the Volcano tribe had reached the maximum of his power, risking to subdue the entire island of Gorm and destroy it with his evil plans. Only the generosity and courage of the Lords of Nature, led by Old Sage, managed to avert the disaster. Each of the characters came from the tribes of Gorm: Air, Sea, Forest and Earth and together they decided to carry out a plan to avoid the return of the evil Magor. Since their power came from a legendary stone, The Heart of Gorm, they understood that the best choice would be to divide it into five parts to hide one in each of the five realms. But they also knew that the five parts would have to remain separated forever and to do so they built impetrable walls between their kingdoms, forever changing the island of Gorm, since the inhabitants had lived in harmony until then, collaborating with each other. in peace and serenity. But to avert Magor's return forever, there was one more thing to do: try to permanently forget the place where the Gorm Stones were hidden and in this they were helped by Old Sage. Gorm's fate was fulfilled. The painstakingly accomplished plan by the Lords of Nature was passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years until Agrom found a crack in his kingdom's wall. From here, therefore, begins a new story with 4 young and inexperienced characters who will have to learn a lot about the powers of their ancestors; to do this they will be forced to follow Old Sage's advice, to better face the forces of evil that are awakening and to understand how to become invincible Lords of Nature, to awaken other Gormiti or to transform themselves. Little fans of the series will learn about the protagonist, Agrom, who is entrusted with great power. He is a very generous boy, open to everyone and aware of the fact that in order to survive it is important to collaborate with others and not be afraid of the news, for this reason, however, his tribe often disagrees with him. The inhabitants of his kingdom, in fact, are not so willing to open up to changes and would like to remain holed up within their walls. Agrom, thanks to its powers that bind it to the earth, is able to attract rocks and stones with which it can build armor that gives it greater strength. It also has the ability to fold over itself to form a rock wheel that overwhelms its enemies. His most trusted friend is Kondo, who has followed him since they were children and is ready to defend him in any situation, aware that sooner or later Agrom will become king. Noctis, on the other hand, has a completely different character, despite being just a boy. He comes from a powerful family and is aware that he will have to lead. His bold and authoritarian attitude often irritates even his own friends and companions, but he is forgiven all thanks to his power and ability to use his great powers. It belongs to the Air kingdom and is able to dominate the wind, storms and fly, taking others with it too. Not only. In some particular situations it can rotate so fast that it creates a tornado.

Piron, prince of the Water kingdom, has dominion over everything liquid. With his powers he fires water missiles, creates shields or platforms from liquid substances to help himself and his friends. In contact with water, he too assumes a liquid form and therefore becomes invisible, representing a real danger for his enemies. For this reason he is a very powerful character even if he has a calm and calm character which often makes him appear insecure. But it is only appearance. His twin brother, Daron, is a danger to him because despite what he pretends to be, he is actually jealous of Piron's power and tries in every way to thwart him: could he even ally himself with Magor?
Tasaru is the youngest of our heroes. Precisely for this reason he appears impetuous, he wants to throw himself into the fray next to Agrom without thinking. But he is also emotional due to his lack of experience and is inclined to follow others without knowing how to impose himself. However, thanks to his Gorm Stone he can also use incredible powers: he is covered by vegetation becoming very powerful and uses all its properties, such as shooting spines with his fingers or grabbing objects or enemies with hooks. Tasaru is also the funniest of the group and is able to entertain his companions with jokes and jokes but also for this reason his tribe does not consider him suitable to become a king. His most trusted friend is a little bird named Sebi, always present on his shoulder and who advises him if he has to make difficult decisions, as if it were his conscience.

The old sage, Old Sage, has joined the Lords of Nature since ancient times and has helped and supported all the Gormiti, contributing to their development. It will do the same with the new principles even if it carries with it a great and terrible secret.

Noctis - Gormiti Nature Unleashed ï ¿½ Giochi Preziosi

He is in fact the brother of the evil Magor but has always kept this relationship hidden. He shares their powers, but while his brother uses them to harm, Old Sage employs them for the good of the island. When this secret comes to light the whole mission will be in grave danger, risking failure but in the end it will also be the reason why the Volcano tribe will also be saved. The elements to experience a great adventure are all there. And it couldn't be otherwise as the little fans of these strange characters will already know. But the story couldn't be complete without the bad guys secretly plotting to destroy everything. First of all, of course the very bad Magor. For millennia he has been relegated to rivers of cooled magma, but now his captivity has reached the termite and he is ready to return. But how did he do it? He managed to get hold of Old Sage's Gorm Stone, awakening and gaining more and more power. But his goal to completely dominate the island of Gorm is to bring together all the Gorm Stones, who are in possession of the 4 principles. He will do everything to obtain them, including creating an army of Gormiti, made of fire, whose mission is, of course, to tear down all the walls that separate the kingdoms, destroying the tribes and trying to reunite the Gorm Stones. Their opponents are the 4 principles. Magor is flanked by Lavuss, his faithful dog, who instead of legs has 4 fearsome weapons ready to use them to serve his master. Another faithful servant of Magor is Andrall, who, belonging to the tribe of Volcano, is made entirely of magma. He is a cruel being and yet a sense of honor and nobility often prevails in him that makes him have second thoughts. Covered in a loose dress, with slow and insecure movements, Sceven is one of the most enigmatic characters in the series. Nobody knows which tribe he came from, who he was originally and why he decided to join the evil Magor. Of course there is only the fact that for a strange reason he decided to throw himself into the magma to become lava too. From that moment it is able to destroy everything it touches, turning it into ashes. Fume is a very curious character. A spy who can be anywhere, creates some problems for our heroes.
However, the 4 principles have a precious ally, Glass Empress, which represents all the forces of nature united with each other and can be recalled with the Gorm Stones. It is an important presence as if it were a goddess who decides in which form to present herself to the protagonists. At first only Agrom can see her, but then the other princes also begin to have contact with her, who is able to communicate in various ways: through the wind, the sound of the water or the leaves on the trees. She can be sweet and understanding but also tough and ruthless with anyone who puts the island in danger. A strange and enigmatic figure, very linked to Old Sage and the Heart of Gorm. A real mystery.

Tasaru - Gormiti Nature Unleashed ï ¿½ Giochi Preziosi

The 4 principles by combining their powers can generate truly fearsome weapons. For example, Agrom and Noctis can form a fire cannon, Agrom with Piron an avalanche of mud, Agrom with Tasaru a giant wheel of rock. But there are also Noctis with Piron with jets of water that freeze in the air and fall like ice bombs, Noctis with Tasaru and their gusts of wind like real laser beams, Tasaru with Noctis with a tornado of debris. Other examples? Piron and Noctis can create a wall of water, Piron with Tasaru a ram formed by a log and pushed by the water or a jet of water that drags the enemies into a plant that imprisons them. They are all weapons that will be forced to use against the evil Lava Minions, an army of Gormiti characterized by large mouths, eyes without eyelids and a torch instead of a hand, or against Mastodonic, a treacherous and ruthless character who pursues his enemy until destroyed it. A faithful servant of Magor who represents a very difficult enemy for the 4 princes. The story seems really compelling and it is also safe to bet that the little viewers will closely follow each episode, as happened for the previous series. From 17 September on Cartoon Network in absolute preview, then on Boing and from October also on Italia 1 these cartoons, among the most loved by children, will be broadcasted, with unpublished episodes on which absolute confidentiality reigns. And we must not forget, then, that the characters we talked about can be purchased in toy shops and who have already become heroes to follow and with whom to invent new adventures with their friends. All ready to live these new stories, therefore, very little is missing!
