The Kanohi Hau was the Mask of Shielding, a Kanohi that projected a quasi-holographic force field around the bearer, blocking most physical attacks.
History[]
The Kanohi Hau traces its origins back to some of the earliest mask-making techniques adopted on Spherus Magna, where an unclear number of Hau masks were created for the Matoran populace. At this point in the history of the Matoran Universe, the Hau became heavily associated with Mata Nui. As such, the mask became a symbol for the Great Spirit, owing to the protection and wisdom he offered the denizens of the Matoran Universe.
Over the 100,000 year span of the Matoran Universe's functionality, the Hau became a particularly wide-spread Kanohi. On Metru Nui it could be crafted with relative ease using Regeneration and Growth Kanoka disks. Given the ease that Hau could be created, however, the Kanohi became somewhat common in Matoran society, often being regarded as an practical Kanohi and becoming widely circulated.
When the Toa Mata arrived on Mata Nui, each Toa was tasked with earning a Kanohi Hau in order to gain a Golden Kanohi.

Trivia[]
- Owing to its protective capabilities, the Kanohi Hau came to represent the clandestine Order of Mata Nui.
- Makuta Teridax has twice appeared wearing an Infected Hau in lieu of his Kanohi Kraahkan.
- Toa of Magnetism were known to specifically seek out Kanohi Hau as secondary Kanohi. While a regular Hau-bearer had the ability to project quasi-holographic force fields around themselves, a Toa of Magnetism would be able to conjure magnetically-charged force fields with stronger defensive capabilities, shielding themselves not just from physical attacks but also energy-based assaults and projectiles.
