The '''Shadow Takanuva''' are a group of corrupted [[Takanuva]] from various alternate universes, who were captured and drained of [[light]] by [[Makuta]] [[Tridax]] to create an army of evil [[Toa]].

== History ==
Makuta Tridax, using a [[Kanohi]] [[Olmak]], traveled to almost a hundred alternate universes and captured a Takanuva from each one. He then stored the Takanuva in [[Stasis Tube]]s in a [[Destral Fortress#Tridax's Vault|chamber]] below [[Destral]] and drained their light using [[Shadow Leech]]es.{{OnlineCitation|DW|6}} Some of these became Toa of [[Shadow]], while the process did not finish for others.{{GregCitation|FF|date=2009-01-09|item=2}} Makuta Tridax planned to assemble an army from these Toa of Shadow.{{OnlineCitation|DW|6}}

Several of the Toa survived [[Battles and Conflicts#Order of Mata Nui/Brotherhood of Makuta War|Destral's destruction]]. One awoke from the stasis, and began to consider destroying the world.{{OnlineCitation|DID|8}} Later, Teridax teleported that Takanuva{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=260|post=10382|lines=20,39}} and two others to [[Southern Continent#Ba-Koro|Ba-Koro]] to combat [[Mazeka]] and an [[Teridax (The Melding Alternate Universe)|alternate version of himself]].{{OnlineCitation|RoS|9}} All three were killed by the alternate Teridax.{{OnlineCitation|RoS|12}}

Some Shadow Takanuva still survived, though most remained in stasis, waiting to be rescued.{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=482|post=11233283|lines=4,6}}{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=441|post=10954605|lines=7,17}}

== Abilities and Traits ==
Each Shadow Takanuva has varying degrees of control over Light and/or Shadow, depending on how much his inner light was drained by Tridax. Those Shadow Takanuva who were fully drained are able to create, control, and absorb elemental Shadow energy in a variety of ways.

After their inner light was drained, the Shadow Takanuva lost their sense of morality, and gained new murderous and destructive urges.{{OnlineCitation|DID|8}}

=== Mask and Tools ===
Shadow Takanuva wear the Kanohi [[Avohkii]], the Great Mask of [[Light]]. It gives the user control over elemental Light. The user can also promote peace and understanding in other beings, and sense their moral light.

== Trivia ==
* The Shadow Takanuva are the only Toa of Shadow in the core dimension.
* Shadow Takanuva who die in the [[Matoran Universe]] are not revived by the [[Red Star]], because they are not native to the core dimension.
