Mahiki

“Shapeshifting - some mask powers are worth the wait!”

— Matau, BIONICLE 2: Legends of Metru Nui

Mahiki
Mask of Illusions
Power(s)	Let user create elaborate optical illusions and shapeshift to limited degrees
Kanoka	Reconstitutes At Random; Weaken
Notable Wearer(s)	Matoran/Toa/Turaga Matau
Pronunciation	Mah-HEE-kee

The Mahiki was the Mask of Illusion. The Great Mahiki gave its user the power to change how others perceived them. The Noble Mahiki did not allow the user this ability, and only let them project illusions. Elda, Arthron and Rode could see through the usage of a Mahiki.

Mahiki were carved out of a mixture of Reconstitute At Random and Weaken Kanoka on Metru Nui.
