The Hunt for the Mask of Life#

He approached the mask anyway, in keeping with the conduct that had defined his service as Guard Captain.

The Ignika acted on its own judgement. Jaller came close enough to losing his life in the chamber for the encounter to qualify as a genuine near-death rather than a narrow escape.

A small number of early-period records carry inconsistent terminology, including the use of "Tohunga" rather than "MatoranMatoranThe most abundant species in the Matoran Universe, chosen by Mata Nui to inhabit and maintain his cosmic body." for the species.
