A Badge of Office[1][2][3] is a staff or tool used by a Turaga to symbolize their experience and knowledge.
History
On many occasions, Badges of Office are the Turaga's transformed Toa Tools. Other times, they have been used by their owner since they were Matoran, such as Vakama's Firestaff. Turaga can channel their minute elemental powers through their tools if they desire to. They could also be utilized in melee combat for self-defense.[4][5][6]
During the Dark Time, when the six Turaga of Mata Nui were kidnapped by Infected Rahi, each of their Badges of Office were separated from them and hidden away. However, Takua discovered them while searching for the Toa Stones, and used them to help complete his journey. Eventually, Takua was able to rescue each of the Turaga and return their Badges of Office to them.
