[edit] Character Detail
When Sam & Max first arrive at Easter Island in Moai Better Blues, it's the Moai heads who tell them about the renewed volcanic activity that is threatening the death of the island and everyone in it. For somewhat unexplained reasons, Sam and Max take the case. After going through Baby Jimmy Hoffa, those two get to the cave and find the Ocean Chimps. Using the Moai Heads (unintentional) help, they manage to make Max the king; this allows them to discover that Mr Spatula is the true antagonist. But Sam and Max save the island from him, leaving the heads to ponder there for the next X000 years.
They later appeared in Chariots of the Dogs, where they, alongside Jurgen, are being used by T.H.E.M. to send souls to hell. The only known soul sent to hell is Bosco's.
At least a thousand years old, the Moai heads are apparently immortal. They each have distinct superpowers related to the elements, though they are reluctant to use them. They all seem to despise their incredibly boring lives.
[edit] Storm Moai
The Storm Moai is half-buried underground, making his mumbling almost impossible to decipher as well as putting him in a perpetual foul mood. A small storm cloud forms over his head whenever he gets annoyed - which is every time Sam and Max interact with him in any way.
[edit] Wind Moai
The Wind Moai is the only female Moai head and the most talkative one by far. Much to Sybil's chagrin, Abe takes an interest in her. The feeling isn't mutual, though. The Wind Moai can conjure up strong winds just by breathing; even just whistling creates a noticeable breeze.
[edit] Earth Moai
The Earth Moai can create earthquakes by laughing, but is almost always in a grumpy mood. Luckily, a mood-altering Basalt Sandwich turns his demeanor around completely.
