The [[Kanohi]] '''Kraahkan''' is the Mask of Shadows.
The [[Kanohi]] '''Kraahkan''' is the Mask of Shadows. A '''Kraahkan Nuva''' is created when a destined Kraahkan is exposed to [[Energized Protodermis]].


== History ==
The Kanohi Kraahkan grants its user access to the power of elemental [[Shadow]]. The mask relies on its own elemental energy pool when using the mask's elemental abilities. There are limits to said abilities, and as such Kraahkan-bearers do not have access to the full range of powers available to beings naturally-attuned to the element of Shadow.
The Kanohi Kraahkan was crafted from [[Protosteel]]{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=95|post=3764|lines=8,15}} in {{p|Artakha|Location}}.{{BookCitation|BW|chapternumber=1|chaptername=Artakha|entryname=History|page=11}} It was then worn by Makuta Teridax for the next 100,000 years.


When Teridax and Takanuva battled in Mangaia, they merged to form [[Takutanuva]], their masks also merged into the [[Mask of Light and Shadow]]. However, Takutanuva and his mask soon separated, and Teridax's body was crushed by the door to Metru Nui.

When the [[Piraka]] traveled to the [[Great Barrier]] to raid [[Mangaia|Teridax's lair]], [[Reidak]] attempted to steal the Kraahkan. However, it blasted him with [[Shadow]] bolts when he picked it up, so he threw it into the [[Silver Sea]]. The Mask of Shadows was later retrieved by Makuta [[Icarax]], who began to wear it. Eventually, Teridax expressed interest in retrieving the Kraahkan, but before he could do so, the Kraahkan was reduced to atoms and scattered across the entire Matoran Universe when Icarax was killed in [[Teleportation|mid-teleport]] by Makuta [[Gorast]] and [[Vamprah]].

The Kanohi Kraahkan is the Mask of Shadows. A Kraahkan Nuva is created when a destined Kraahkan is exposed to Energized Protodermis.

The Kanohi Kraahkan grants its user access to the power of elemental Shadow. The mask relies on its own elemental energy pool when using the mask's elemental abilities. There are limits to said abilities, and as such Kraahkan-bearers do not have access to the full range of powers available to beings naturally-attuned to the element of Shadow.

Application

Only one Kraahkan has existed in the history of the Matoran universe - that originally by Makuta Teridax (and later Icarax, before being destroyed). Like all the masks worn by the members of the Brotherhood of Makuta, it had been forged by Artakha alongside their armor during the inception of the Makuta species. However, according to legend, the Kraahkan was created by mask makers enslaved by the Brotherhood. The mask possessed a number of additional traits not possessed by standard Kraahkan:

  • Like all of the primary masks worn by the Makuta, it was forged from protosteel and specially designed with the ability to be able to shapeshift alongside their wearer.
  • It possessed the power to induce anger and fear in targets.
  • It allowed its wearer to sense the inner darkness in others.
  • While not worn, it would blast any non-Makuta who touched it with bolts of shadow.

The mask was briefly fused with Toa Takanuva's Avohkii as the mask worn by Takutanuva. In this form, it possessed the powers of both masks.

A version of this mask from the Melding alternate universe has since been brought to the main universe, alongside its bearer - that universe's Teridax.

Toa would consider this mask power immoral due to its association with Teridax and the wider Brotherhood of Makuta.[1]
