Description

So the Miru was a challenge to design a human!Tohunga version of. I did a bunch of research on Pacific island art over the summer when I was getting started on making this a real project and what I found was that masks generally tend to have all the features of a human face present, just with one or two of them greatly exaggerated or diminished. The Miru is a tad hard to adapt to that kind of style considering it's one of the masks with the fewest features of a human face in it. Eventually I decided that it made the most sense to play off its already birdlike shape and give it a bird's beak as its nose, and I owned up to the humongous grin that the Miru has by filling its mouth with oversized, blocky teeth.

I figure the Le-Matoran paint themselves for camouflage when they go out into the jungle to scout or hunt.
