The Kanohi Kaukau is the Mask of Water Breathing. A Kaukau Nuva is created when a destined Kaukau is dipped in Energized Protodermis.

The Kanohi Kaukau allows the user to breathe underwater and liquid protodermis. While the mask is active, the user cannot breathe air.


The Great Kanohi Kaukau allows the user to breathe water and the water permutation of liquid protodermis. However, they lose the ability to breathe air (or other substances) while the mask is active. The mask does also not protect the user against environmental dangers of deep waters, such as cold and water pressure.

The Great mask has an increased duration compared to the Noble mask.

Breathe Water disks make a target able breathe water or protodermic water - and only those substances.

Higher level disks have a longer duration.
