Rau

"The lead Kikanalo gave an angry snort as it closed in on Nokama. The Toa of Water responded with a similar sound."

- Narrator, Legends of Metru Nui

The Kanohi Rau is the Mask of Translation. The Great version allows its user to understand and speak in almost any written and spoken form of communication. The Noble version only lets the user understand writing, runes, and symbols. Both versions enable the user to comprehend the meaning behind carvings.

On Metru Nui, Kanohi Rau are made from Remove Poison and Enlarge Kanoka.
