axe

The axe^{1, 2} was a large, green axe that served as Lewa's Toa tool when he was a Toa Mata.^{3, 4, 5, 6} Lewa used it to channel and focus his elemental power of air.¹ Lewa's axe could easily cut through trees, vines, thick underbrush, and foliage.^{7, 8, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 2} Lewa used it to cut through trees and vines as he climbed and jumped through the Le-Wahi jungle^{3, 4, 9, 10, 2}, and to cut through thick foliage in the treetops⁸. With his powerful arm⁷, he also used it to slice through vines and plants so he could glide through the air.^{7, 9, 10, 2}

The axe was created by Artakha, and Lewa received it before his training on Daxia.^{12, 13} When Lewa was transformed by energized protodermis into a Toa Nuva, the axe presumably transformed into the air katana.

Notes

• It has also been referred to as a mighty hatchet⁸, and the arm that Lewa used to wield has been referred to as his powerful hatchet arm⁷.
• Despite being made by Artakha, the axe was not made of protosteel.¹⁴
