The Mask of Aging was a Kanohi Mask of Power that allowed the user to slightly age one or more targets, typically weakening them and reducing their speed.
History[]
The Mask of Aging traces its origins back to some of the earliest mask-making techniques adopted on Spherus Magna, where an unclear number of the Kanohi were created for the Matoran populace. At this point in the history of the Matoran Universe, the Mask of Aging held no elemental affiliation (though some considered it to be a representation of the Legendary power of Time).
Following the Awakening—where Velika removed programming that prohibited development of sapience—many Matoran saw the Mask's powers as unethical, due to the potential to permanently age an individual. As such, Toa considered this Mask immoral and it was outlawed in Metru Nui. Hunters of other races and cultures, however, have been known to use it slow down prey or age certain beverages. Thanks to these views of it, it is an uncommon Kanohi (though one proved to be a challenge to forge).
Shortly after impersonating Turaga Dume, Makuta Teridax lifted the city's ban on the Mask of Aging and other Time-related Kanohi in the hopes of finding a native Ta-Matoran capable of crafting the Kanohi Vahi. He monitored the production of these masks to help narrow down and compile a list of willing Mask Makers.
Example Usage[]
A hunter from a tribe of beings to the southern half of the Matoran Universe used this Mask to aid him in hunting. He supposedly tried to use it to age certain beverages as well, though the results often varied.
