Kaukau Nuva = Hau?


Tuuli

Recommended Posts

I noticed upon picking up Gali Nuva's mask that it looked similar to the classic hau mask just by looking at it's eye holes and forehead hole. Also it has a big gaping mouth like the hau and before anyone tells me there is a hau nuva, I believe the kaukau nuva looks more similar to the original hau.

And we're drawing what conclusion from this? That the Kaukau Nuva was intended to be the Hau Nuva at an early mythic prototyping stage?

 

I can see the similarities, but there are similarities with the Kaukau as well. The two ridges along the top mimic the single raised area on the original. The 'mouths' share a similar triangular shape, and the 'gills' on the Kaukau Nuva match the smaller gaps on the bottom sides of the Kaukau.

Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone? A write-up for an initial video for a G2 plot

 

I really wish everyone would stop trying to play join the dots with Gen 1 and Gen 2 though,it seems there's a couple new threads everyday and often they're duplicates of already existing conversations! Or simply parallel them with a slightly new 'twist'! Gen 2 is NEW, it is NOT Gen 1 and it is NOT a continuation. Outside of the characters we already have I personally don't want to see ANY old characters return. I think it will cheapen the whole experience to those of us familiar with the original line...

It could also look like a Kakama if you only look at the forehead and gills.

 

But it's a Kaukau.  None of the Nuva masks look much like their non-Nuva counterparts, barring a few things like the big ol' Hau mouth and Akaku eyepiece (which looks completely different anyway).
