Golden Kanohi

"Then there was a peal of sound, like great bells blended with laughter. Onua gasped in amazement as a new mask suddenly appeared on the face of each stone carving — a golden Kanohi, glowing with light and power."

- Narrator, Tale of the Toa

The Golden Kanohi were powerful and mysterious Kanohi forged by Artakha, that contained the powers of six Great Masks: the Hau, Kakama, Kaukau, Pakari, Miru, and Akaku.

These Kanohi have appeared only once, bestowed upon the Toa Mata after they collected the six aforementioned masks, brought them to the Kini-Nui, and placed them onto life-size carvings of themselves. Utilizing the power of these masks, along with their own elemental strength, the Toa were able to defeat Makuta Teridax. The Toa continued to use these masks during the Bohrok Invasion, utilizing their various powers to help recover Krana. After confronting and defeating the Bahrag, the Toa Mata fell into tubes of Energized Protodermis, where they were transformed into Toa Nuva, and their Golden Kanohi transformed into Kanohi Nuva.

Example Usage
The Toa Mata used their Golden Kanohi to speed to Ta-Koro from the Kini-Nui in The Bohrok Awake.

Bearers

 * The Toa Mata - Formerly; transformed into Kanohi Nuva when they became Toa Nuva

Set information
Golden Kanohi were released in 2002 Kanohi & Krana packs, which contained one gold Kanohi, one silver Kanohi and three Krana.

Trivia

 * A scene in the Mata Nui Online Game depicts Lewa placing all six of his Kanohi on his Suva, and emerging with the golden mask; another scene depicts the Toa Mata's Kanohi simply transforming into the golden masks when they arrive at the Kini-Nui. However, the scene described in the book is the accurate one.
