The Kanohi Shelek is the Mask of Silence.

Powers

The Shelek allows its user to simultaneously disable a target's ability to speak and hear for as long as the user concentrates. The mask cannot rob either speech or hearing; it has to do both.

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.
  • However, a Toa of Sonics can perform a similar effect to the Shelek by absorbing sound from an area.
• Like the rest of the immoral Kanohi, these masks were created under the direction of Brotherhood of Makuta.
• 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, which Makuta cannot naturally do.
