Pronunciation	AV-sah

The Kanohi Avsa is the Mask of Hunger.

Powers

The Avsa allows its user to drain light, energy, or positive emotions from a target at a distance, even to the point that it kills the target. The user will absorb the energy removed from their target. The mask can also drain a Makuta's essence.

This mask can be used to make lightless beings such as Shadow Matoran. The Kanohi Avsa places a psychological barrier in its victims that keeps their light from returning, although the light drain must be complete before the barrier is set. The power scream of klakk can reverse this by breaking the barrier. Other beings with a sonic scream ability could also break the barrier, granted they know the exact frequency, volume, and duration to do so.

Trivia

• Toa would not normally wear this mask as they feel its power is immoral.
• Like the rest of the immoral Kanohi, these masks were created under the direction of Brotherhood of Makuta.
• The Avsa's power is more versatile than that of a Vorahk's, as it can absorb emotion or inner light as opposed to only taking a target's physical strength.
