Moai
From Final Fantasy Wiki
The Moai is a recurring Easter egg in the Final Fantasy series, appearing in unexpected locations, usually on World Maps far from important locations, and having little to no function whatsoever. In most cases, they are a reference to the Moai, monolithic human statues from the Polynesian island of Rapa Nui (Easter Island).

[edit] Appearances
[edit] Final Fantasy IV
A stone appears on the Red Moon. This one is an allusion to the infamous face on Mars myth rather than the Moai. A "happy face" crater and rock formation, inspired by the Galle crater of Mars, also appears.
In the Game Boy Advance version, the Lunar Ruins open in front of the stone face once Zeromus is defeated.
In the DS Remake, if the player stole Dark Matter from Zeromus, and uses it on the Stone Face, they will fight Proto-Babil.
[edit] Final Fantasy V
A Moai appears at the bottom of the ocean. It serves no other purpose than being an Easter Egg.
[edit] Final Fantasy VII
A Moai appears on a cliff in the Great Glacier, while other Moais appear in the Chocobo Racing Arena. This is the first time stone faces appear in locations rather than world maps.
[edit] Final Fantasy VIII
In PuPu's sidequest, the UFO is sometimes seen abducting a stone face with its light beam. Additionally, colored stone faces are involved in the Obel Lake sidequest, though no graphics are shown for these.
[edit] Dissidia Final Fantasy
One of the player icons is a moai from Final Fantasy V.
[edit] Fortress
A Moai appears in a forest in concept art for the game.
