The Kanohi Kraahkan is the Mask of Shadows.
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.
Powers
The Kanohi Kraahkan allows its user to access Makuta-level range and strength of power over anger, fear, and Elemental Shadow.[3] It also lets the user see moral darkness in others. The Mask of Shadows will automatically send out Shadow bolts to attack non-Makuta beings who touch it whenever it is not being worn.[4] Even though the mask grants its user Shadow powers, it does not boost any pre-existing Elemental Shadow powers.
