Mask of Mutation
Miserix's Mask of Mutation
Kanohi
Title	Mask of Mutation
Powers	Permanently mutates target
Bearers	Miserix

The Mask of Mutation is a Kanohi that allows its user to selectively and permanently mutate another living being from a distance.

Powers

Along with mutating the target physically, the mask's user can also give and take away powers with the mutations, but they cannot change the target's element. The user also cannot mutate themselves. A mutation caused by the mask is permanent unless it is undone by the mask user. The user is able to undo other mutations such as those caused by Hordika Venom, Makuta viruses, and Roodaka's Rhotuka power, but not those caused by Energized Protodermis. In theory, reversing a mutation is more difficult without detailed knowledge of the original mutation. A Noble Mask of Mutation would be weaker than the Great version.

Bearers

• Makuta Miserix - Wears a shapeshifted version

Trivia

• Because the Mask of Mutation, not the Kanohi Kraahkan, pertained to the original purpose of the Brotherhood, the former was given to Miserix as the organization's head.
• When Krika was tasked with executing Miserix, he reported to Teridax that their former leader resisted, and that his Mask of Mutation was destroyed during the struggle, as to not raise suspicion about not fulfilling his mission, since he did not bring Miserix's Kanohi back to Destral.
• Although the Mask of Mutation is exclusively used by a Makuta, Toa do not consider it to be an immoral mask as Miserix was not a part of the Makuta's rebellion.
• Mutran was originally going to wear the "Kanohi Artidax," the Mask of Mutation, but Greg Farshtey dropped the idea upon seeing that Mutran and Chirox shared the same mask in their sets to avoid confusion. The name Artidax became an island, and the Mask of Mutation was instead given to Miserix.
