Ruru

The Kanohi Ruru was the Mask of Night Vision. The Great Ruru gave its user the power to see clearly in darkness and a limited amount of x-ray vision. It also allowed them to cast a beam of light for illumination, which could be used to blind opponents. The Noble Ruru only allowed its user to see clearly in darkness.

Ruru were carved out of a mixture of Teleport and Enlarge Kanoka on Metru Nui.
