moai (MOH-ai) - n., any of the 887 large carved stone figures on Easter Island.


Wikipedia has more. Plural identical. Name borrowed from Rupa Nui, the Polynesian language of Easter Island. As well it ought to have.

Heh -- I'd forgotten about him. Been a few years since I've seen a Red Meat strip.
