...[Onewa] triggered his mask power, reaching into the mind of Matau. As a crafter, he knew just when a hammer was needed and when a more delicate tool would get the job done. He carefully applied the mask-energies to drive out the Vahki's influence.

Komau
Mask of Mind Control
Power(s)Lets user control the minds of another
KanokaFreeze; Weaken; Remove Poison
Notable Wearer(s)Onewa
PronunciationKoh-MOW

The Kanohi Komau was the Mask of Mind Control. It gave its user the power to see into another's mind and control it.[1] However, it did not allow power over beings with no mind, such as Vahki and some types of Rahi. The Noble version could not control creatures as mentally powerful as the user for as long as the Great Komau. Both versions could create mental pain in the target.[2]

Komau were carved out of a mixture of Freeze, Weaken and Remove Poison Kanoka on Metru Nui.[3]

Noble: Toa Mata Lewa once used a Noble Komau to control a Nui-Kopen to transport himself and others out of a Nui-Rama hive.[5]
