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 Tubes in a chamber below Destral and drained their light using Shadow Leeches.[1] Some of these became Toa of Shadow, while the process did not finish for others.[2] Makuta Tridax planned to assemble an army from these Toa of Shadow.[1]

Several of the Toa survived Destral's destruction. One awoke from the stasis, and began to consider destroying the world.[3] Later, Teridax teleported that Takanuva[citation needed] and two others to Ba-Koro to combat Mazeka and an alternate version of himself.[4] All three were killed by the alternate Teridax.[5]

Some Shadow Takanuva still survived, though most remained in stasis, waiting to be rescued.[6][7]

Infrastructure

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.[3]

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.
