Infected Kanohi

"It is through these masks that Makuta controls the Rahi."

- Gali, BIONICLE Chronicles 1: Tale of the Toa

Infected Kanohi were Kanohi that had been infected by a Kraata or a Makuta's power. They appeared rusted and old, and whoever wore one was under the control of the Makuta who infected it. After the infected mask was knocked off, the being would be temporarily stunned and the Makuta would lose control over them.

History
Teridax infected many Rahi during the 1000-year period before the coming of the Toa Mata, and used them to keep the Matoran on Mata Nui from getting back to Metru Nui.
