Hau

The Kanohi Hau was the Kanohi mask of Shielding. It gave the user the ability to protect himself from any seen attack, but it was useless against ambush or an unexpected attack. The Hau Nuva was a more powerful version of the Hau, and could project a stronger force field than a Hau. It also allowed the user to project this shield for a longer duration of time. The Hau Nuva, like all Kanohi Nuva, allowed the wearer to share its power with those nearby. The Hau was one of the symbols of the Great Spirit Mata Nui.

Gali, Onua, Pohatu, Kopaka and Lewa all found great Hau masks but lost them when they became Toa Nuva. They then gathered a Hau Nuva each.

Example Usage

 * Onua used his Hau once to deflect the tentacles of Teridax. The shield vanished when Teridax ambushed him.
