Miru

"The sudden gust that resulted gave [Lewa] a quick lift. But he soon left the wind behind, floating upward on his own power."

- Narration, BIONICLE Chronicles 1: Tale of the Toa

The Kanohi Miru was the Mask of Levitation. It gave its user the power to float and glide on air. This mask prevented beings from falling, but provided no thrust, as the Kanohi Kadin did. The user could activate and use the Kanohi's power from a standing start.

While the Kanohi Miru is unable to provide thrusted flight for most users, Toa Lewa is a known exception: as a Toa of Air, Lewa is able to combine the powers of the Miru with his own command of air to attain flight using thrust from powerful wind currents.

Similar to Lewa's uses of his elemental powers to compliment the capabilities of the Kanohi Miru, Toa Tahu was also able to achieve a similar effect by using heated air to also generate lift (though to a lesser magnitude than Lewa's mastery of the technique).

Theoretically, other Toa of Air or Toa of Fire may be able to achieve similar results if their mastery rivals that of Lewa or Tahu, but Lewa and Tahu are the only known users of the Kanohi Miru.

Miru were carved out of a mixture of Teleport and Weaken Kanoka on Metru Nui.
