The Kanohi Miru is the Mask of Levitation.

Powers

The Kanohi Miru allows its user to float and glide on air or slow their fall. The mask does not allow for flight from a standing start,[2] so the user has to rely on wind currents to push them while they stay afloat.[1]

Kanohi Miru were created from Teleport and Weaken Kanoka disks on Metru Nui.[3]

Example Usage

  • Great: While falling from a mountain, Toa Gali used her Kanohi Miru to slow her descent, allowing her to land safely in Deep into Darkness.

Set Information

The Great Kanohi Miru was first released with 8535 Lewa in 2001, colored green. A teal Miru was released with the 1392 Kongu distributed by McDonald's. It was also possible to receive a Great Miru in a mask pack that year in green, red, brown, blue, white, and black variations. A transparent neon-green Great Miru (advertised as a "special edition Lewa mask") was also distributed in 2001 through promotional events and at LEGOLAND parks.

In 2002, a 8559 BIONICLE Krana was released that contained three Krana and two Kanohi of either silver or gold color. The Great Miru was one of the six masks available as such.

The great mask bears the code 3-LT on the inside. In its prototype stage, the code was located on its chin.

In early 2008, a lime green Noble Miru was released with 8944 Tanma.[4][5]
