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.

These Kanohi are really well designed. Say will we get another Kanohi later on? I had the idea of another kanohi, called the Kanohi of Lust/Addiction which would work similarly to Antonblast’s Jewel Ghoul since Jewel Ghoul represents Lust as the Lust does not have to mean desire of love to someone, as lust is taking pleasure to something that is addicting, such as smoking, eating, etc.
