"You must not remove your masks, unless you are replacing one with another. Without them, your strength is halved."
— Toa Helryx til Toa Mata'erne, Swamp of Secrets
I må ikke fjerne jeres masker, medmindre I udskifter en med en anden. Uden dem bliver jeres styrke halveret.

Kanohi er masker, der giver kræfter til deres bærere, og er båret af mange af beboerne i det matoranske univers.
De første masker blev skabt af de Store Væsener til Matoranerne. Bagefter lærte Mata Nui Matoranerne hvordan man laver masker på egen hånd. På Metru Nui blev masker fremstillet af Kanoka.
Egenskaber[]
Kanohi er magnetisk fastgjort til deres bærere. Kanohi af visse niveauer indeholder en kraft, som bæreren kan få adgang til, hvilket sker gennem fokus og koncentration. Hvis disse kraftladede Kanohi revner eller går i stykker, fungerer de ikke korrekt eller slet ikke. Maskerne kommer i en række forskellige former, afledt af behovet for at skelne den kraft, en maske besidder. Mens masker kan smedes i en hvilken som helst anden form, bliver de det ikke for at opretholde en sammenhæng i identificeringen af den kraft, den måtte have. Når Kanohi først bliver lavet, antager de en grålig farve, som de beholder, indtil de bæres. På det tidspunkt antager masken en farve med hensyn til bæreren.
Når en Matoraner, en Toa eller en Turaga får fjernet deres Kanohi, lider de svaghed - Toa føler sig svag og svimmel, Turaga lider ekstrem svaghed, og Matoranere bortfalder i en komalignende tilstand, hvis masken ikke udskiftes inden for en længere periode. Nogle væsener er i stand til at bære Kanohi, men lider ikke, hvis de ikke gør det.
Kanohi har en tendens til at beholde et aftryk af deres ejers bevidsthed og identitet i sig selv i en kort periode efter at være fjernet, så enhver maske kan indgydes med enorme mængder livskraft til genoplivning af den afdøde maskebærer. Aftrykket vil dog forsvinde efter en længere periode.Skabelon:CN
Der findes forskellige typer af Kanohi, de er primært grupperet i fire grundlæggende kategorier, selv om undtagelser dukker op ved særlige omstændigheder.
Typer[]
Der findes fire kendte kraftniveauer for en Kanohi: Kraftesløs, Ædel, Mægtig og Legendarisk.
Kraftesløse[]
Den mest almindelige type maske er de kraftesløse masker, som bæres af Matoranere. Processen hvor med masken laves gør, at energien lækker, hvorfor maskerne ikke har nogen kræfter. Men de er dog nødvendigt for Matoranere kan leve og fungere ordentligt. Selv om Matoranere kan mærke kraften i en Mægtig eller Ædel maske, mangler de den mentale disciplin, der er nødvendig for at kunne få adgang til deres kræfter. Matoranere kan tilpasse deres masker og lave modificeringer som f.eks. tilføjelse af kikkert. Matoraner-masker kan blive til Mægtige masker, når de kommer i kontakt med Toa-Energi, og forvandle sig igen til Ædle masker, når denne Toa-Energi er brugt op. Dette sker, når en Toa forvandles fra en Matoraner, og igen når en Toa bliver til en Turaga efter at have ofret deres Toa-Energi og fuldført deres skæbne.
På Metru Nui og Mata Nui findes der også kraftesløse "Kobber"-masker, som bruges som dekorative trofæer tildelt vinderne af sportsbegivenheder.
Ædle Masker[]
Turaga'er bærer Ædle masker, som er indgydt med en lille mængde kraft, som de kan få adgang til. Disse masker forvandles fra Mægtige masker, når en Toa bliver til en Turaga. Toa'er kan dog også få adgang til kraften i Ædle Masker.
Mægtige Masker (ELLER STORE????)[]
Toa'er og andre væsener bærer Mægtige masker, som giver en stærkere maskekraft og kan kun bruges af væsener på deres kraftniveau. De fleste kraftladede masker er af den Mægtige type, og kommer i et utal af egenskaber.
Gyldne Kanohi[]
Artakha skabte seks masker kaldet Gyldne Kanohi, som havde kræfter fra maskerne båret af Toa Mata'erne: Skjold, Røntgensyn, Hurtighed, Vandånding, Styrke og Svævning. De eksisterede kun i kort tid efter at alle seks Kanohi var blevet samlet af deres respektive Toa. De blev opbevaret inde i Kini-Nui, og når de seks Kanohi blev angrabt på Suva'en, aktiverede de frigivelsen af en Gylden Kanohi. De Gyldne Kanohi blev længere forvandlet til Kanohi Nuva, da de blev dækket af Energized Protodermis.
Organiske Kanohi[]
Seks Kanohi blev gjort organiske og sansende af lynet fra Den Røde Stjerne, som skabte Toa Inika'erne. De mistede disse træk, da de blev omdannet til Toa Mahri'ernes masker.
Fusionerede Kanohi[]
Ligesom mange væsener fra det matoranske univers, er Kanohi i stand til at fusionere, nogle gange med hinanden, men også direkte med brugeren. Kanohi som fusioneres naturligt med hinanden (såsom Kanohi båret af Toa Kaita'erne) har vist sig at have nye kræfter eller egenskaber.
Muterede Kanohi[]
I tilfælde, hvor masken ændres ved en eller anden form for mutation (ofte fusioneres de direkte fast til brugeren, som med Toa Hordika'erne og Nidhiki), taber brugeren almindeligvis adgangen til maskekræfterne. Dog beholdte Karzahnis Olisi sine kræfter efter han var blevet muteret af Afgrundsmutagenet.
Inficerede Kanohi[]
Makuta-artens mørke essens, de sansende Kraata-orme, er i stand til at fordærve og inficiere Kanohi, så bæreren omvendes til at tjene Makuta'ens vilje.
Legendariske Maskser[]
Der findes nogle ekstraordinære Kanohi, der besidder kræfter langt ud over en almindelig maske, disse er kendt under betegnelsen Legendariske masker. Kun træ er kendt: Kanohi Vahi eller Tidens Maske, Kanohi Ignika eller Livets Maske, og Skabelsens Maske. Disse masker kan ikke bæres af almindelige brugere, og det kræver ofte særlige omstændigheder for at få adgang til deres kraft.
Maskemageri[]
På Metru Nui blev Kanohi-masker fremstillet af Maskemagere i Ta-Metru. Typen af Kanoka og dens kraftniveau bestemte, hvilken slags maske det ville blive til, og skaberne kunne også kombinere Kanoka for at skabe forskellige masker. Niveau 1-6 Kanoka bliver formet til Matoraner-masker, Niveau 7 bliver lavet til Ædle masker, og Niveau 8 bliver til Mægtige. Årsagen til disse sondringer er, at kraften lækker fra Kanoka'en under fremstillingen af Kanohi, således at det kun er masker af højere niveau af Kanoka, som har kræfter.
For at smede en Kanohi-maske ville Kanoka'en blive nedsmeltet og omsmeltet eller skåret ud i den ønskede form. Maskerne skulle være uden fejl, ellers ville deres kræfter (hvis det færdige produkt skulle have en) lække fra masken. Fejlagtige masker blev smeltet om for at fremstille rå Protodermis. Masker ville blive malet med en farve efter at være blevet fremstiller for at differentiere effektniveauet. Matoraneres masker ville få tilføjet sølvmaling til den øverste halvdel, Ædle masker sort maling, og Mægtige masker ville beholde deres fulde farve. På Mata Nui forsvandt denne farve med tiden gennem soleksponering og manglende vedligeholdelse.
Visse anordninger kunne tilføjes til Kanohi efter masken var fremstillet, såsom det teleskopiske okular, der normalt tilføjes til Akaku, såvel som under maskens fremstilling. Disse tilføjelser kan også senere fjernes uden at masken tager skade.
Der er andre måder at lave Kanohi på, da Kanohi går forud for maskemagere. Maskemageri på Metru Nui stoppede midlertidigt, mens den blev forladt, og genoptaget for en kort stund, da den igen blev genbefolket, og standset endeligt, da hele det matoranske univers evakuederes. Andre steder hvor masker blev fremstilledes inkluderer øerne Artakha og Karzahni. Det er muligt at fremstille masker fra renset Protodermis og springe Kanoka-stadiet over.

Kendte Kanohi[]
Mægtige Kanohi[]
Mægtige Kanohi er de mest kraftfulde normale masker. De er lavet af niveau 8-Kanoka. De giver en række forskellige kræfter til brugeren, herunder skjold, telepati, list, telekinese eller svævning. De kan være i en hvilken som helst form eller facon, men gennem hele det matoranske univers har maskemagerne indført bestemte former til bestemte kræfter for at undgå forvirring, hvis en Toa har et stærkt behov for en maske. Mens Toa'ere er de mest kendte væsener der bruger masker, er mange andre arter også kendt for at kunne bruge maskekræfter. Nedenfor er en liste over kendte Mægtig Kraftmasker:

Kanohi Nuva[]
Mere kraftfulde end normale Mægtige masker, blev de skabt, da Toa Mata'erne blev dækket af Energized Protodermis og blev omdannet til Toa Nuva'erne. Når en maske nedsænkes i Energized Protodermis, bliver den til en Kanohi Nuva, hvis det er dens skæbne at blive det. De eneste Kanohi Nuva, der eksisterer, er Toa Nuva'ernes.
Der er otte typer Kanohi Nuva. En Kanohi Nuva har forskelle fra den almindelige udgave, såsom: brugeren kan give hans/hendes kraft til dem, der omgiver ham/hende, og deres kræfter er stærkere og kan vare længere.
Hau Nuva, Skjoldets Kanohi Nuva |
Kaukau Nuva, Vandåndingens Kanohi Nuva |
Miru Nuva, Svævningens Kanohi Nuva |

Akaku Nuva, Røntgensynets Kanohi Nuva |
Aki Nuva, Tapperhedens Kanohi Nuva |
Rua Nuva, Visdommens Kanohi Nuva |
Ædle Kanohi[]
Ædle Kanohi er lavet fra en niveau 7-Kanoka og besidder svækkede udgaver af kræfterne fra de Mægtige udgaver af maskerne. De bliver også dannet, når en Toa bliver til en Turaga, hvor en Kanohi vil forvandles til en Ædel Kanohi. Der kan være Ædle udgaver af enhver maske, undtagen Legendariske masker og fusionerede Kanohi båret af Toa Kaita'ere.

Legendariske Kanohi[]
Disse Kanohi er langt mere kraftfulde og vanskelige at kontrollere end andre masker. Hvis de blev ødelagt, ville de frigøre deres kræfter, hvilket ville have resulteret i nedbrydningen af en fundamental kraft i det matoranske univers. Hver indeholder en fundamental del af det matoranske univers: Liv, Tid og Skabelse. Legendariske Kanohi kan, i modsætning til Mægtige Kanohi, ikke eksistere ved lavere kraftniveaueruer.

Information om Sæt[]
Skabelon:SetBox Skabelon:SetBox
Kanohi have been featured in several BIONICLE sets from 2001 to 2010, including all Matoran, Toa, Turaga, and Makuta sets as well as sets of other species. They have also been released in several BIONICLE promotions.
In 2001 a "Kanohi" pack was released, containing two Kanohi. These could be any of the Great Kanohi worn by the Toa Mata in any of the colors they wore or any of the Noble Kanohi worn by the Turaga of their villages in any of the colors they wore. A hand-painted Infected Kanohi Hau could also appear as one of the masks, although rarely. A Toa Mata head and eyestalk and an axle piece also appeared in this set so one could display one of these masks on the lid of a Toa Mata canister to simulate a Suva.
In Germany, Nestlé cereal packs included a single Kanohi, potentially even a Copper Kanohi for lucky buyers, as a limited-time promotion. The pack also featured a cut-out BIONICLE Kanohi Memory activity on the back and a little prospect with information on each Kanohi as well as information concerning the Toa Mata, the Rahi, BIONICLE: The Legend of Mata Nui, and the Copper Huna itself, although not corresponding to canon.
In 2001, a chrome silver colored Kanohi Rua with the shape of a Hau was also released in the Power Pack in a limited number.
A Krana pack was released in early 2002. Alongside the set's three Krana it contained two Gold Kanohi or Silver Kanohi that the Toa Mata wore. Later, in 2003, a Krana-Kal pack was released. This pack, like its predecessor, contained three metallic-colored Krana-Kal and two random Kanohi Nuva which, alongside the normal coloring of the Nuva masks, featured rare silver Kanohi Nuva to represent the Toa Nuva's masks when their powers were stolen by the Bohrok-Kal.

"You must not remove your masks, unless you are replacing one with another. Without them, your strength is halved."
— Toa Helryx to the Toa Mata, Swamp of Secrets
Skabelon:Object
Kanohi are masks that grant powers to their wearers, worn by many inhabitants of the Matoran Universe.
The first masks were created by the Great Beings for the Matoran. Afterwards, Mata Nui taught the Matoran how to make masks on their own. On Metru Nui, masks were made from Kanoka.
Properties[]
Kanohi are magnetically attached to their wearers. Kanohi of certain levels contain a power that the wearer can access, which is done through focus and concentration. If these powered Kanohi are cracked or broken, they do not function properly or at all. The masks come in a variety of different shapes, derived from the need to discern the power a mask has. While masks can be forged into any different shape, they are not done so in order to maintain consistency in identifying the power it might have. When Kanohi are made originally, they adopt a grayish color which they keep until they are worn. At that point the mask adopts a color with respect to the wearer.
When a Matoran, Toa, or Turaga has their Kanohi removed, they suffer weakness - Toa feel weak and dizzy, Turaga suffer extreme weakness, and Matoran lapse into a coma-like state if the mask is not replaced within an extended period of time. Some beings are able to wear Kanohi, but do not suffer any effects of not doing so.
Kanohi have a tendency to retain an imprint of their owner's consciousness and identity within themselves for a short time after being removed, allowing any mask to be infused with great amounts of a life-force to resurrect the deceased mask-wearer. However, after an extended period of time, the imprint will fade away.Skabelon:CN
There are various types of Kanohi that exist; they are primarily grouped into four basic categories, though exceptions arise from special circumstances.
Types[]
There are four known power levels for a Kanohi: Powerless, Noble, Great, and Legendary.
Powerless[]
The most common type of mask is the powerless masks worn by Matoran. The process used to make the mask causes the energy to leak out, which is why these masks have no powers. However, they are needed for Matoran to live and function properly. Although Matoran can sense the power in a Great or Noble mask, they lack the mental discipline needed to access its powers. Matoran can customize their masks, making modifications such as adding a scope. Matoran masks can become Great masks when they come in contact with Toa Energy, and transform again into Noble masks when this Toa Energy is expended. This happens whenever a Toa is transformed from a Matoran, and again when the Toa become Turaga after sacrificing their Toa Energy and completing their destiny.
On Metru Nui and Mata Nui, powerless "Copper" masks also exist, being decorative trophies awarded to the winners of sporting events.
Noble Masks[]
Turaga wear Noble masks, which are infused with a small amount of power that they can access. These masks are transformed from Great masks when a Toa is turned into a Turaga. Toa, however, can also access the power of Noble Masks.
Great Masks[]
Toa and other beings wear Great masks, which offer a stronger mask power and can only be used by entities on their power level. Most powered masks worn are of the Great variety, and come in a myriad of abilities.
Golden Kanohi[]
Artakha created six masks called Golden Kanohi which had the powers of the masks worn by the Toa Mata: Shielding, X-Ray Vision, Speed, Water Breathing, Strength, and Levitation. They were only in existence for a short time after all six Kanohi had been found by their respective Toa. They were stored inside Kini-Nui, and when the six Kanohi were placed on the Suva, they activated the release of a Golden Kanohi. The Golden Kanohi were later transformed into Kanohi Nuva upon being submerged in Energized Protodermis.
Organic Kanohi[]
Six Kanohi were rendered organic and sentient by the lightning from the Red Star that created the Toa Inika. They lost these traits when they were transformed into the masks of the Toa Mahri.
Fused Kanohi[]
Like many Matoran Universe entities, Kanohi are able to fuse, sometimes with one another but also directly onto the user. Kanohi that fuse naturally to one another (such as Kanohi worn by Toa Kaita) have been seen to display new powers or properties.
Mutated Kanohi[]
In cases where the mask is altered by some kind of mutation (often fusing directly onto the user, such as the Toa Hordika and Nidhiki) the wearer usually loses access to the mask powers. However, when Karzahni was mutated by the Pit Mutagen, his Olisi kept its powers.
Infected Kanohi[]
The dark essence of the Makuta species, the sentient Kraata slugs, are able to corrupt and infect Kanohi, turning the bearer into a servant of the Makuta's will.
Legendary Masks[]
There are some extraordinary Kanohi that possess powers far beyond a normal mask; these are known as Legendary Masks. Only three are known: the Kanohi Vahi, the Mask of Time; the Kanohi Ignika, the Mask of Life; and the Mask of Creation. These masks cannot be worn by ordinary users, and often require special circumstances for their power to be accessed.
Mask Making[]
On Metru Nui, Kanohi masks were made from Kanoka by Mask Makers in Ta-Metru. The type of Kanoka and its power level determined what kind of mask it would be, and the creators could also combine Kanoka to create different masks. Level 1-6 Kanoka are formed into Matoran masks, Level 7 is turned into Noble, and Level 8 becomes Great. The reason for these distinctions is that power leaks from the Kanoka during Kanohi creation, thus allowing only masks made from higher level Kanoka to have powers.
To forge a Kanohi mask, the Kanoka would be melted down and reforged or carved into the desired shape. The masks could not be flawed or else their powers (if the finished product was meant to have any) would leak out. Flawed masks were melted down to make more raw Protodermis. Masks would be painted with a coloring additive after being made, to differentiate power level. Matoran masks would have silver paint added to the top half, Noble, black paint, and Great masks would remain one full color. On Mata Nui, this coloring eventually faded away from sun exposure and lack of maintenance.
Certain devices could be added to Kanohi after the mask is made, such as the telescopic eyepiece commonly added to the Akaku as well as during its creation. These additions could also later be removed without damaging the mask.
There are other ways to make Kanohi, as Kanohi predated mask makers. Mask making on Metru Nui stopped temporarily while it was was deserted, and resumed briefly when it was again repopulated, and halted finally when the entire Matoran Universe was evacuated. Other places where masks were made include the islands Artakha and Karzahni. It is possible to make masks out of purified Protodermis and skip the Kanoka stage.[1]

Known Kanohi[]
Great Kanohi[]
Great Kanohi are the most powerful normal masks. They are made from level 8 Kanoka. They bestow any of a variety of powers upon the user, including shielding, telepathy, stealth, telekinesis, or levitation. They can be in any shape or form, but throughout the Matoran Universe, mask makers have adopted specific shapes for certain powers, in order to avoid confusion if a Toa is in dire need of a mask. While Toa are the most well-known beings to use masks, many other species are known to be able to use mask powers. Below is a list of known Great Masks of Power:

Kanohi Nuva[]
More powerful than normal Great masks, they were created when the Toa Mata were immersed in Energized Protodermis and became the Toa Nuva. When a mask is immersed in Energized Protodermis, it will become a Kanohi Nuva if it is destined to do so. The only Kanohi Nuva in existence are the Toa Nuva's.
There are eight types of Kanohi Nuva. A Kanohi Nuva has differences from its regular version, such as: the user can grant his/her power to ones surrounding him/her, and their powers are stronger and can last longer.
Hau Nuva, Kanohi Nuva of Shielding |
Kaukau Nuva, Kanohi Nuva of Water Breathing |
Miru Nuva, Kanohi Nuva of Levitation |
Kakama Nuva, Kanohi Nuva of Speed |
Pakari Nuva, Kanohi Nuva of Strength |
Akaku Nuva, Kanohi Nuva of X-Ray Vision |
Aki Nuva, Kanohi Nuva of Valor |
Rua Nuva, Kanohi Nuva of Wisdom |
Noble Kanohi[]
Noble Kanohi are made from a level 7 Kanoka and possess weakened versions of the powers of their Great Mask counterparts. They are also formed when a Toa becomes a Turaga, during which their Kanohi transforms into a Noble one. There can be Noble forms of any mask, except Legendary masks and fused Kanohi worn by Toa Kaita.

Legendary Kanohi[]
These Kanohi are vastly more powerful and difficult to control than other masks. If destroyed, they would unleash their powers, resulting in the break-down of a fundamental force of the Matoran Universe. Each contains a fundamental part of the Matoran Universe: Life, Time and Creation. Legendary Kanohi, unlike Great Kanohi, cannot exist at lower power levels.

Set Information[]
Skabelon:SetBox Skabelon:SetBox Kanohi have been featured in several BIONICLE sets from 2001 to 2010, including all Matoran, Toa, Turaga, and Makuta sets as well as sets of other species. They have also been released in several BIONICLE promotions.
In 2001 a "Kanohi" pack was released, containing two Kanohi. These could be any of the Great Kanohi worn by the Toa Mata in any of the colors they wore or any of the Noble Kanohi worn by the Turaga of their villages in any of the colors they wore. A hand-painted Infected Kanohi Hau could also appear as one of the masks, although rarely. A Toa Mata head and eyestalk and an axle piece also appeared in this set so one could display one of these masks on the lid of a Toa Mata canister to simulate a Suva.
In Germany, Nestlé cereal packs included a single Kanohi, potentially even a Copper Kanohi for lucky buyers, as a limited-time promotion. The pack also featured a cut-out BIONICLE Kanohi Memory activity on the back and a little prospect with information on each Kanohi as well as information concerning the Toa Mata, the Rahi, BIONICLE: The Legend of Mata Nui, and the Copper Huna itself, although not corresponding to canon.
In 2001, a chrome silver colored Kanohi Rua with the shape of a Hau was also released in the Power Pack in a limited number.
A Krana pack was released in early 2002. Alongside the set's three Krana it contained two Golden and/or Silver Kanohi. Each Golden Kanohi contains the powers of all six of the Toa Mata's masks. The Silver Kanohi, while they do not appear anywhere in the story, contain the powers of three great Kanohi each.[8]
In 2003, a Krana-Kal pack was released. This pack, like its predecessor, contained three metallic-colored Krana-Kal and two random Kanohi Nuva which, alongside the normal coloring of the Nuva masks, featured rare silver Kanohi Nuva to represent the Toa Nuva's masks when their powers were stolen by the Bohrok-Kal.
Trivia[]
- Some copies of the 2002 Krana packs included silver versions of the Toa Mata's six Kanohi. The silver Miru, Akaku, and Kaukau each contain all three powers of levitation, x-ray vision, and underwater breathing. The silver Hau, Pakari, and Kakama each contain all three powers of shielding, strength, and speed. The story team developed this Silver Kanohi concept strictly to market the Krana packs; the masks never appear in official story material.[8]
- While they have never appeared or been alluded to in official media, Greg Farshtey has surmised that masks of Fear,[9] Weather Control,[10] Density Control,[11] Poison,[12] and Stasis Fields[13] can be created. There are likely no masks of Acid.[14]
