Notes

Even beings as evil as the Piraka had things they feared, and Irnakk was their greatest nightmare. Brought to life from their fears by an unknown power, Irnakk was one of many guardians of the Kanohi Mask of Life. Being a creature of nightmare, Irnakk's zamor spheres had the power to create realistic illusions of an enemy's greatest fear – so realistic that the target could die from fright. He could also turn a foe from a physical being into merely a thought, and then absorb that thought into his own mind. Surrounded by the monstrous evil in Irnakk's brain, no being could survive with sanity intact.3
