The Kanohi Tryna was the Mask of Reanimation, a Kanohi that allowed its user to animate the corpses of dead beings, commanding them to perform basic tasks until they lost concentration. Able to sustain multiple reanimated targets simultaneously, the Tryna could account for grievous bodily damage so long as the central nervous system of its subjects remained intact.
History[]
The Kanohi Tryna traces its origins back to some of the earliest mask-making techniques adopted on Metru Nui, where an unclear number of Tryna masks were created for the Matoran populace. At this point in the history of the Matoran Universe, the Tryna bore no elemental affiliation and efforts to craft the mask proved highly volatile.
Following Velika's Awakening of the Matoran Universe's inhabitants after the Great Spirit Robot left Spherus Magna, the Tryna came to be considered a highly Immoral Kanohi by Matoran crafters. As such, Matoran generally chose to abandon their Kanohi Tryna, fearful of its destructive properties.
Over the 100,000 year span of the Matoran Universe's functionality, the Tryna became an uncommon Kanohi, proving more popular among members of the Makuta species. In Metru Nui the mask could crafted with relative ease using Weaken Kanoka disks, though Turaga Dume later outlawed the production of Immoral Kanohi.
Most notably, Toa Matoro was known to have worn a Tryna as a Toa Mahri during his quest to restore Mata Nui by claiming the Ignika from the Pit.

Trivia[]
- Despite its reputation as a deeply Immoral Kanohi, the Ignika bestowed a Tryna unto Matoro upon his transformation into a Toa Mahri as a means to gauge his ethical resolve, preparing him to balance its tremendous power before eventually wielding the Ignika and achieving his destiny.
