Infected Kanohi

Infected Kanohi are Kanohi that have been infected by kraata. They appear rusted and old, and whoever wears one is 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. The Makuta of Metru Nui infected many Rahi during the 1000-year period before the coming of the Toa Mata, and used them to keep the Matoran living on Mata Nui from getting back to Metru Nui, which was one of the first steps to awakening the Great Spirit.

Beings who have worn infected Kanohi

 * various species of Rahi
 * Toa Mata Lewa
 * Makuta in his Matoran form (Note: He was not affected by it, as it may have just been his Kraahkan transformed to match his Matoran form.)
