Well, we don't even know if any Arrancar would be strong enough to be on the level of a Stern Ritter. I just find it strange that some of them use masks for no apparent reason.

But Äs Nödt does look intimidating with his mask, all you see in his face is the dark, merciless eyes and the spiked mask, it does make him look more ruthless. Especially when we know how he is, implanting fear in his opponents, destroying them from the inside.
