Hau Nuva

The Hau Nuva was the Kanohi Nuva Mask of Shielding, formed when Kanohi Hau are exposed to Energized Protodermis. The Hau Nuva shields the user and those nearby from physical harm, as long as the user(s) was aware of all attacks being made at them. In the event of a mental attack, the Hau Nuva was useless. The only beings able to use this mask were Toa Nuva.

Example Usage
In BIONICLE: Mask of Light, Tahu used his Hau Nuva to protect Takua and himself from a wave of lava.
