The Kanohi Kraahkan is the Mask of Shadows.
The standard Kanohi Kraahkan grants the user access to the power of Elemental Shadow. The mask generates a secondary energy pool that the user can draw from, though this pool does not regenerate and can only be used for Shadow-based attacks. There are limits to the abilities of said attacks, 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.
A Kraahkan Nuva is created when a destined Krahhkan is dipped in Energized Protodermis. In addition to its standard abilities, the size of the elemental pool it grants is increased, and its power can be shared with individuals near the user; however, it can only be used by Nuva beings.
Teridax's Kraahkan
While all Masks of Shadows are called the Kraahkan, only Teridax's Kraahkan has the additional powers often associated with such this Kanohi, being able to induce anger and fear in its targets and sense moral shadow in other beings. Additionally, Teridax's Kraahkan was forged in protosteel by Artahka himself.
History
The Kanohi Kraahkan was crafted from Protosteel[1] in Artakha.[2] 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 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 mid-teleport by Makuta Gorast and Vamprah.
Teridax later formed the stars above Metru Nui into the shape of the Kanohi Kraahkan when he announced the success of his plan to the whole Matoran Universe.
Other Kraahkan
Another Kanohi Kraahkan appeared in the Matoran Universe when an alternate Teridax crossed over to the core dimension.
Alternate Universes
The Melding Alternate Universe
In a reality in which the Toa were created to heal Spherus Magna instead of Mata Nui, the Brotherhood of Makuta never rebelled and conquered their inner darkness. Teridax wears a gold Mask of Shadows, but its power is not associated with evil. The Kanohi Kraahkan of this universe is currently located in the core dimension.
Toa Empire Alternate Universe
In an alternate universe, the Kanohi Kraahkan was taken from Teridax by the Toa Empire and placed in the Archives as a trophy. The mask was warded so that if anyone touched it, the Toa Empire would be alerted.
The Kingdom Alternate Universe
In a reality in which the Great Spirit Mata Nui remained dead, the main dimension's Takanuva knocked the Kanohi Kraahkan off the alternate timeline's Teridax during the Battle at the Light Barrier. An alternate Toa Tanma then destroyed the mask.
In the Doronai Nui

This secondary pool lasts for one hour and dissipates if the Kanohi is removed. The user cannot absorb Shadow, and cannot perform a Nova Blast of Shadow.
