Pronunciation | Mah-HEE-kee |
The Kanohi Mahiki is the Mask of Illusion. The Great version allows its user to create optical illusions, including changing their own appearance. The user can change the way others see them and imitate voices, but cannot copy any powers the original has. The Noble version does not let the user change their appearance. Instead, it only allows them to create optical illusions. The Kanohi Rode will see through its usage, while a Kanohi Elda will allow its user to sense a being hidden by an illusion.[citation needed]
On Metru Nui, Kanohi Mahiki are made from Reconstitute At Random and Weaken Kanoka.[citation needed]
Example Usages
- Great: Matau used his mask to disguise himself as a Vahki in Legends of Metru Nui.
- Noble: Kopaka used a Kanohi Mahiki to make multiple illusions of himself to confuse a Muaka in the Mata Nui Online Game.

Trivia
- The Mahiki's illusions differ from those created by the Makuta: Mahiki illusions deceive a target's vision, whereas the Makuta's deceive the mind.[citation needed]
- Although Matau describes the Mahiki's power as Shapeshifting in BIONICLE 2: Legends of Metru Nui, this is a misconception. The Mahiki does not allow its user to change their physical form, only their appearance.[1]
