The Kanohi Ruru is the Mask of Night Vision. The Great version allows its user to cast a beam of light that allows them and those nearby to see. It also grants them normal night vision and a small degree of x-ray vision[1] not as powerful as that of the Akaku.[2] It can be used as a weapon, blinding enemies with its glow. The Noble version does not glow, but allows its user to see clearly in any level of darkness.[1]

Kanohi Ruru are made from Enlarge and Teleport Kanoka on Metru Nui.[3]

Set Information[]

The noble Ruru was first released in 2001 as part of Skabelon:SetLink in dark gray, Skabelon:SetLink in transparent blue, Skabelon:SetLink in orange, and Skabelon:SetLink in black. It was one of the masks possible to be received in Skabelon:SetLink, in orange, lime green, tan, light blue, light gray, and dark gray. Due to production errors, European releases of the mask pack also included the mask in red, blue, green, brown, black, and white. In 2002, it was released in Skabelon:SetLink in red, and alternatively light gray. It was later released again in black as part of set Skabelon:SetLink in 2003. In 2004, it was released as part of Skabelon:SetLink in dark red dual-injected with silver. The mask bears the code Z-07 on the inside.

A noble Ruru in yellow was included in the prototype for the cancelled Sand Tarakava set. The prototype mask featured the code written below the right eye.

The Great Kanohi Ruru was released in black in 2004, as part of set Skabelon:SetLink, and in 2006 in sets Skabelon:SetLink and Skabelon:SetLink. This mask would later be available in dark blue in Skabelon:SetLink in 2007.

A Hordika-version of the mask was released in black as part of Skabelon:SetLink.
