Kanohi
The mystical masks worn by many inhabitants of the universe, Kanohi are capable of providing power to virtually all its users. Coming in many shapes and sizes, they are forged using either molten Protodermis or Kanoka discs and magnetically attach to the user's face, and are imbued with an ability that empowers the wearer. The natural colour for most Kanohi is a dull silver-grey, and when worn they change colour to match the armour of their wearers (This does not apply to legendary masks or those of unique power, such as the Avohkii, Mask of Light). The majority of the wearers of Kanohi suffer weakness when their Kanohi are removed - Toa become weak and delirious, Turaga suffer extreme weakness to the point they have difficulty standing, Makuta will suffer delirium and their Antidermis will begin leaking out if they lose their mask, and Matoran will soon lapse into a coma-like state and eventually die.

Kanohi mainly come in four main variants:


 * Humble: The most common standard variant of Kanohi, worn most commonly by Matoran. They are the only main Kanohi type to lack their own unique form, instead appearing similar to a Noble or Great mask. Humble Kanohi have the least amount of power, being only able to use the absolute bare minimum of the mask's power - for example, a Humble Kanohi Akaku can be used to see for a moderate distance further than the user's normal vision, rather than the vastly enhanced vision and X-Ray vision a Noble or Great Akaku would provide. On Metru Nui, Humble Kanohi were denoted by painted silver streaks, but when the Matoran arrived on Mata Nui, these poorly-painted markings soon faded away from exposure to the sun.
 * Noble: The second most common variant of Kanohi, worn most commonly by Turaga. Noble Kanohi have unique shapes and have a moderate amount of power, fully using the mask's power but less so than a Great Kanohi - for example, a Noble Kanohi Mahiki only allows the user to cast illusions, as opposed to a Great Mahiki, which allows the user to shapeshift to a limited degree while also creating illusions. When the Toa Metru, Lhikan and Jovan became Turaga, their Great Kanohi became Noble Kanohi. Toa can also use the power of Noble Kanohi, while Matoran can only use one to access Humble Kanohi-level power.
 * Great: The second rarest variant of Kanohi, primarily worn by Toa and other beings of similar power. Great Kanohi have unique shapes and a large amount of power, using the mask's power to its fullest potential - for example, a Great Kanihi Hau creates a stronger and longer-lasting shield than a Noble or Humble Hau. When Matoran are transformed into Toa, their Humble Kanohi will transform into a Great Kanohi. Matoran and Turaga can also use the power of Great Kanohi, but only to the extent of a Humble or Noble Kanohi respectively.
 * Legendary: The rarest and most powerful variant of Kanohi, each of which only one can exist at a time and each of which contain a fundamental element to the universe. They cannot exist at a Great, Noble or Humble level, as a lower variant could not contain the sheer power of the mask. Legendary Kanohi are extremely difficult to control, even for a being of immense power such as Makuta. The only individuals who can wield such power with ease are those who are destined to wield the specific mask. Thus far, five Legendary Kanohi have been seen: the Avohkii, Mask of Light; the Kraahkan, Mask of Shadow; the Avohkaan, Mask of Light and Shadow; the Vahi, Mask of Time; and the Ignika, Mask of Life.

Besides the main types of Kanohi, several other, rarer variants of Kanohi have been seen:
 * Infected Kanohi: Kanohi corrupted by a Makuta or Kraata, Infected Kanohi appear discoloured, scarred and pitted, and covered with ooze and rust. Any being who is forced to wear a Infected Kanohi falls under the direct control of the Makuta who created the infection or Kraata that infected the mask. The victim can be saved from this control by either having their mask cleansed of infection by six elements being focused onto it simultaneously or by simply having the mask removed. On Mata Nui, this infection was often referred to as "The Madness". Legendary Masks cannot be infected. Any being who has the mental focus needed to activate a Kanohi will still be able to use the mask's power when under control.
 * Kanohi Kaita: When multiple beings fuse together, such as with a Matoran Nui or Toa Kaita, their Kanohi will also combine together into a unique mask which possesses all the powers of the Kanohi fused into it at a stronger level. A Kanohi Kaita will allow the user to use all these powers both simultaneously or in separate usage, and will appear as either a unique mask with characteristics of the fused masks or as one of the fused masks coloured gold, silver or bronze. If the Kanohi Kaita is knocked off the user, it will remain in existence in its fused form for as long as the fusion remains fused. Thus far, five Kanohi Kaita have been seen: the Aki (Kanohi Kaita of Valour, formed by the combination of a Great Hau, Pakari and Kakama), the Rua (Kanohi Kaita of Wisdom, formed by the combination of a Great Kaukau, Akaku and Miru), the Ouvon (Kanohi Kaita of Courage, formed by either the combination of a Noble Hau and a Humble Huna, Miru, Pakari, Akaku and Kakama, or by the combination of a Great Suletu and a Humble Calix, Elda, Sanok, Kadin and Iden), the Irbek (Kanohi Kaita of Knowledge, formed by the combination of a Noble Huna, Rua, Mahiki, Ruru, Matatu and Komau) and the Zelryn (Kanohi Kaita of Survival, formed by the combination of a Humble Ruru, Komau, Matatu, Mahiki, Huna and Rua).
 * Golden Kanohi: Six unique Kanohi that were golden in colour and possessed the powers of the Kanohi Hau, Kaukau, Miru, Pakari, Akaku and Kakama in one single mask, although the user could only use one of these powers at a time. They were created for the Toa Mata when they placed all six of the Great Kanohi each had found onto life-sized statues of themselves, which then animated and awarded each a Golden Kanohi in the shape of that Toa's original mask before disappearing. When the Toa Mata were transformed into the Toa Nuva, the Golden Kanohi transformed into the Kanohi Nuva version of the Toa's original mask.
 * Copper Mask of Victory: Powerless masks of ceremonial value, Copper Masks of Victory are masks made through a mysterious form of Protodermis and forged in a copper colour. They were originally given by Turaga Dume to victors of Alkini tournaments, and when the Matoran migrated to Mata Nui, the Turaga awarded them to exceptional players of sports or to those who had done a great service to more than one Koro. Sixteen Matoran are known to have been awarded Copper Masks of Victory - Hafu, Hewkii, Nuparu, Onepu, Taipu, Tehutti, Kopeke, Matoro, Kongu, Tamaru, Hahli, Macku, Kotu, Jaller, Kapura, and Takua. The Toa Mata have also each been awarded a Copper Mask of Victory after their arrival and first act of protection for their village.
 * Kanohi Nuva: Specialised Kanohi created when a destined Kanohi is exposed to Energized Protodermis, transforming into a new, more ridged and unorthodox shape. Kanohi Nuva can only be used by Toa Nuva and provide the user with a enhanced version of the regular mask's power as well as a secondary power related to the main one - for example, the Kakama Nuva, in addition to allowing the user to run at greater speeds than a Great Kakama user, also allows users to vibrate their body's molecules so fast that they can pass through obstacles without harm. In addition to this, Kanohi Nuva also allow the user to share the mask's power to its fullest potential with any other being they are aware of and consciously choosing to share the power with. Thus far, only six types of Kanohi Nuva have been seen - the Hau Nuva, Kakama Nuva, Pakari Nuva, Akaku Nuva, Kaukau Nuva and Miru Nuva.
 * Kanohi Kaita Nuva: The Kanohi Nuva variant of the Kanohi Kaita worn by the Toa Kaita. These masks provide the same enhanced abilities and sharing of powers as the three Kanohi Nuva that were combined into them, but at a even stronger level, rendering the Toa Kaita virtually undefeatable. Only two Kanohi Kaita Nuva have been seen to be capable of forming - the Aki Nuva (Kanohi Kaita Nuva version of the Kanohi Aki, formed by the combination of a Hau Nuva, Kakama Nuva and Pakari Nuva) and the Rua Nuva (Kanohi Kaita Nuva version of the Kanohi Rua, formed by the combination of a Miru Nuva, Kaukau Nuva and Akaku Nuva).
 * Organic Kanohi: Unique mutated Great Kanohi created from Humble Kanohi when struck by lightning from the Red Star. These Kanohi were created when the Toa Inika were created, and constantly squirm and pulsate. The Organic Kanohi are sentient, and communicate in a unknown manner that cannot be explained conventionally with the Toa Inika, helping them to learn how to use the masks' powers far quicker than a Toa regularly would be able to. Only six Organic Kanohi exist - Jaller's Kanohi Calix, Hahli's Kanohi Elda, Kongu's Kanohi Suletu, Hewkii's Kanohi Sanok, Nuparu's Kanohi Kadin and Matoro's Kanohi Iden. Should the Toa Inika form a Toa Kaita, the resulting Kanohi Kaita would also be organic.

Hau
The Kanohi Hau is the Mask of Shielding. It is the symbol of the Great Spirit Mata Nui, as both serve a similar function - to protect. Among Toa, it is most commonly associated with Toa Tahu. When used, a Hau generates a force field that surrounds and moves around with the user, protecting them from attacks they are aware of. The Humble variant only generates the shield directly around the user, while the Noble variant creates a force field around five times the user's width, allowing them to protect objects but not other beings. The Great variant provides a greater shield than the Humble or Noble variant, but neither can protect the user against ambushes or mental attacks. In addition to tangible projectiles, the shield protects its user from gas or fire-based attacks, and stops those who can teleport from doing so inside the shield.

A Great variant of the mask was worn by Lhikan, who possessed a more elongated and ornate shape to his Vanguard-styled Hau. It later became a Noble mask when he became a Turaga, and after his death was given to Jaller when his Humble Calix was broken. Jaller wore the mask for a thousand years, and learnt its history from Lhikan during his brief time on the Red Star. When he was captured by Karzahni, Jaller's Hau was forcibly replaced by a Humble Calix, similar to the one he once wore.

Kaukau
The Kanohi Kaukau is the Mask of Water-Breathing. Among Toa, it is most commonly associated with Toa Gali. When used, a Kaukau allows the user to breathe water and liquid Protodermis instead of air for a extended period of time, as well as swim faster than they normally could and cause their wounds to heal faster in water or liquid Protodermis. The Humble variant only allows the breathing of water and liquid Protodermis for a period of time and cannot function properly at extreme depths, while the Noble variant can work at any depth and provides both the healing effect and a longer period of use. The Great variant allows the user to breathe water and liquid Protodermis for a longer period of time than the Humble or Noble variant, and also allows a greater healing rate.

Miru
The Kanohi Miru is the Mask of Levitation. Among Toa, it is most commonly associated with Toa Lewa.

Toa Metru

 * Disk Launcher: Vakama's Toa Tool, an upgraded Disk Launcher that was larger and more powerful than a standard Disk Launcher, as well as possessing a flame-styled pattern to its body. He selected it from the Toa Suva as the familiar weapon gave him a sense of comfort in his new body, with some of the other Toa, especially Matau, poking fun at him for using a oversized Matoran tool, although it soon proved its use in versatility. It was used to fire Kanoka and Toa Disks, channel his Fire powers, and could even be used as a jetpack when attached to his back. The Disk Launcher fused to Vakama's arms and mutated into the Blazer Claws when he was mutated into a Toa Hordika, but was restored to its original form by Keetongu when Vakama was turned back into a Toa Metru. Shortly afterwards, however, the Disk Launcher was destroyed by the Shadowed One's eye beams during the battle for the Kanohi Vahi, and Vakama replaced it with his Firestaff.

 * Natural Rhotuka Launchers: Naturally formed Rhotuka launchers that grew from the Toa Hordika's backs after they were mutated, and served as their main method of channelling their elemental powers, with their Rhotuka creating varying amounts of their respective elements depending on their thoughts. These Rhotuka Launchers were lost when the Toa Hordika were changed back into the Toa Metru by Keetongu.
