Huna

“The problem with invisibility, [Vakama] had discovered, was that he could not see himself either. It was no easy trick to run when he couldn't see his feet.”

— Narration, BIONICLE Adventures 5: Voyage of Fear

Huna
Mask of Concealment
Power(s)	Let user turn invisible but still cast a shadow
Kanoka	Contraction; Enlargement; Freezing
Notable Wearer(s)	Vakama
Pronunciation	HOO-nah

The Kanohi Huna was the Mask of Concealment. While in its Great form, it gave its user the power to turn completely invisible and grant them visual indetectability, but they still cast a shadow. The only difference between its Great and Noble forms was that the Noble form had a shorter duration of power, unlike the Great, which could last longer. A Huna-wearer could only be detected by someone seeing their shadow or the usage of an Arthron, Elda or Rode.

Huna were carved out of a mixture of the following Kanohi on Metru Nui:

• Enlargement
• Contraction
• Freezing

Example Usages

Vakama using the Great Huna's Mask Power

Great: In BIONICLE 2: Legends of Metru Nui, Vakama used his Huna Metru to shroud himself in invisibility to avoid having Makuta Teridax see him.

Noble: Turaga Vakama used his Huna to drive the Rahi Nui into a rage and trick it into running into a wall in BIONICLE Chronicles 4: Tales of the Masks.

It was also released in the other colors of the Turaga: light blue, tan, dark grey, lime green and light grey, so the other Turaga could wear it. It was also released in the Muaka and Kane-Ra set in the color black, meant to represent an Infected Mask. It was also released in black-and-silver with the Tehutti set of 2004. A blue version was included in the promotional McDonald's Maku set and with her 2003 set as well.
