Arthron
Kanohi
Title Mask of Sonar
Powers Echolocation
Bearers Jaller
Pronunciation ARE-thronn[1]


The Kanohi Arthron is the Mask of Sonar.[2] It allows its user to sense the movement and positions of targets through echolocation.[1][3] The wearer can also use this mask to examine their surroundings in darkness. This mask is one of the few that can detect an invisible target, such as a Kanohi Huna or Volitak user.[4][5][6] It identifies the general shape and movement of its target but does not provide details.[7][8][9] The mask can also be used outside of water.[10][11]

Example Usage

In BIONICLE Legends 8: Downfall, Jaller's Mask of Sonar detected the Piraka in the Cord, but he was unable to recognize them until they attacked.

Trivia

  • Greg Farshtey has stated that the mask is always on at a low level,[12] but because Kanohi require concentration to activate,[13][14][15][16] this is impossible.
  • The Arthron can give limited sight to beings who are blind.[17]
