The Kanohi Mahiki was the Mask of Illusion.
History[]
The Kanohi Mahiki traces its origins back back to some of the earliest mask-making techniques adopted on Spherus Magna, where an unclear number of Mahiki masks were created for the Matoran populace. At this point in the history of the Matoran Universe, the Mahiki became heavily associated with the Makuta species, who held the mask up as a symbol of their diverse and changeable collective nature.
Over the 100,000 year span of the Matoran Universe's functionality, the Mahiki became a somewhat wide-spread Kanohi. In Metru Nui the mask could crafted with relative ease using Reconstitute at Random and Weaken Kanoka disks. Given the ease with which Mahiki could be created, however, the Kanohi became somewhat common in Matoran society.
Quite notably, a Le-Matoran named Matau was known to have sported a Mahiki during his time as a Toa Metru, one of the Matoran Universe's final and most prominent Toa Teams, marking a decisive footnote in the mask's history.
Powers[]
The Kanohi Mahiki allowed the user to alter their physical appearance. This shape change is limited to physicality and voice replication. In other words, the mask allows for the changing of shape, color, and some mass-changing to match another being, as well as assuming that being's voice. The Great Mahiki also allowed its user to create optical illusions, such as making illusions of the user.
The Noble version of the Mahiki is less powerful than its Great variant, only allowing the user to make optical illusions.
