Mask of Mutation

Miserix's Mask of Mutation
Kanohi
Title Mask of Mutation
Powers Permanently mutates target
Bearers Miserix[1]


The Mask of Mutation allows its user to selectively and permanently mutate another living being from a distance.[2] The user can also give and take away powers with the mutations,[3][4] but they cannot change the target's element.[5][6] The user also cannot mutate themselves.[7] A mutation caused by the mask is permanent unless it is undone by the mask user.[8] 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.[9] In theory, reversing a mutation is more difficult without detailed knowledge of the original mutation.[10] A Noble Mask of Mutation would be weaker than the Great version.[11]

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.[12]
  • Although the Mask of Mutation is exclusively used by a Makuta,[13] Toa do not consider it to be an immoral mask as Miserix was not a part of the Makuta's rebellion.[14][15]
  • Mutran was originally going to wear the "Kanohi Artidax," the Mask of Mutation,[16][note 1] but Greg Farshtey dropped the idea upon seeing that Mutran and Chirox shared the same mask in their sets to avoid confusion.[17][18] The name Artidax became an island, and the Mask of Mutation was instead given to Miserix.
