Shelek
Kanohi
Title Mask of Silence
Powers Renders target mute and deaf
Bearers Chirox
Mutran (both formerly)

The Kanohi Shelek is the Mask of Silence. It allows its user to simultaneously disable a target's ability to speak and hear for as long as the user concentrates.[2][3] The mask cannot rob either speech or hearing; it has to do both.[4]

Example Usage

Chirox used his Kanohi Shelek in The Final Battle to temporarily deafen and mute Takanuva so that he and Bitil could ambush him.

Trivia

  • Toa would not normally wear this mask, due to its association with Makuta.[7]
  • Like the rest of the immoral Kanohi, these masks were created under the direction of Brotherhood of Makuta.[8]
  • The advantage that Makuta Chirox had for wearing a Shelek while already having access to Silence as a Makuta power was so that he could use two Makuta powers at once,[9][10] which Makuta cannot naturally do.[11]
