Like the Golden Masks of Power, the Golden Masks of Unity boosted the Toa's elemental powers. They also let each Toa combine with their creature, who wore a Creature Mask of Power of its own, boosting the Toa's powers further. While joined, a Toa could read the creature's knowledge and memories. They could separate at will, but if the Toa's mask was knocked off while joined, the two were forced apart.
