Kanohi

Kanohi are power-imbued masks worn by bio-mechanical beings. There are many styles, types, colors, and elements of Kanohi masks. They are forged using molten protodermis, or the remains of Kanoka. Most beings, including the matoran, will die, or go into a coma if their masks are kept off for too long.

Noble Kanohi
Normally worn by Turaga, noble kanohi can be worn by Toa, Turaga or Matoran. They have powers but not as strong as great kanohi.

Powerless Kanohi
Basic kanohi with no special powers. Matoran must wear them or else they slowly get weaker, however. Umbra also wears one, a Ruru.

Golden Kanohi
When the Toa Mata collected 6 Great Masks, they could exchange it for Golden Kanohi that was shaped like their first mask yet it contained the powers of the other 6 collected.

These great kanohi had the powers of shielding, X-ray vision, super strength, water breathing, levitation and speed.

Other golden kanohi (such as Lhikan's) are normal great kanohi,just colored gold.

Hordika Kanohi
When the Toa Metru became Toa Hordika their kanohi became stuck to their faces and were said to be powerless. However, Toa Nuju was still able to use the eyepiece he had built in to his original mask.

When the Toa Inika came to Voya Nui,thier kanohi were sentient, or alive, allowing the wearer to use their powers instantly without proper training.
