Changes: Komau

Latest revision as of 21:30, 5 May 2021

“...[Onewa] triggered his mask power, reaching into the mind of Matau. As a crafter, he knew just when a hammer was needed and when a more delicate tool would get the job done. He carefully applied the mask-energies to drive out the Vahki's influence.”

— Narration, BIONICLE Adventures 5: Voyage of Fear

Komau
Great Noble
Mask of Mind Control
Power(s)	Lets user control the minds of another
Kanoka	Freeze; Weaken; Remove Poison
Notable Wearer(s)	Onewa
Pronunciation	Koh-MOW

The Kanohi Komau was the Mask of Mind Control. It gave its user the power to see into another's mind and control it.^[1] However, it did not allow power over beings with no mind, such as Vahki and some types of Rahi. The Noble version could not control creatures as mentally powerful as the user for as long as the Great Komau. Both versions could create mental pain in the target.^[2]

Komau were carved out of a mixture of Freeze, Weaken and Remove Poison Kanoka on Metru Nui.^[3]

Example Usage

Usingkomau — Toa Onewa activating his Great Komau.

Great: The first time he triggered his mask, Toa Onewa used his Kanohi Komau to force Whenua to sit down. He later used it to make Krekka distract Nidhiki from killing Turaga Lhikan.^[4]

Noble: Toa Mata Lewa once used a Noble Komau to control a Nui-Kopen to transport himself and others out of a Nui-Rama hive.^[5]
