I think that the Moais have those birds on their backs. Also, if you look at Probopass from above, the Pukao, the nose and the mini-noses form a wind rose: http://imgur.com/Xk2ssQZ | |||
It's a shame that Probopass is so despised. It is a great design with a great story behind it... If you see relevant my message, could you edit this article? Thanks for reading me! --[[User:CaptainBlueOlimar|CaptainBlueOlimar]] ([[User talk:CaptainBlueOlimar|talk]]) 18:41, 10 February 2014 (UTC) |
