Catalogue of Kanohi Masks (v. Cha)

There are dozens, perhaps hundreds of Kanohi in existence, but not all of them have Matoran names, just descriptions of their powers, which I think is really lame. What I’ve done here is catalogue those masks that have appeared in my MOCs so far that are either canon but simply don’t have a Matoran name (or appearances) or are original mask powers that I or others have created.

This is not necessarily an exhaustive list and will be updated as time goes on.
