Removing Brakas on Voya Nui

So, I've check every appearances of the Brakas monkey. And none of them says that there were Brakas on Voya Nui. Velika used the word "Brakas" in one of his idioms or riddle but that's all. — Surel—Nuva _(Talk) 13:20, 29 August 2017 (CET)

Again, I checked every single source, which are mentioned in the Appearances section, and found no evidence that even a lone Brakas ever lived on Voya Nui. Could I remove the Voya Nui's Brakas population info from the page? Or anyone wants to recheck it again? — Surel—Nuva _(Talk) 18:02, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Go for it. Thanks for checking this! -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 18:03, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Revisiting the topic, I've just started to replay the VNOG, and found the idiom about the Brakas (To catch a thieving Brakas, first you must find his tree) from Velika, other than that, nothing implies or mentions that they actually lived on Voya Nui, so the removal was justified.--Surel (Talk) 09:01, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Better Image

Would someone be willing to get a better image for the Brakas sprite used in Quest for the Toa, as was done for the Daikau? Better yet, would it be possible to extract the sprites for all angles to get a better idea of how the model is constructed? I just recently realized that the Brakas is supposed to have a Toa Mata head, which I never noticed before based on the current image, which is very blurry. —Planetperson 05:35, 19 September 2017 (CET)

I just downloaded the daikau's image, enlarged it, and re-uploaded it. I did it with the Brakas image, it's not much better... — Surel—Nuva _(Talk) 12:23, 19 September 2017 (CET)

Hmm, I sense a side-project brewing... —Planetperson 20:31, 19 September 2017 (CET)

May I enlarge the other QftT images or it's not useful? — Surel—Nuva _(Talk) 22:37, 19 September 2017 (CET)

Brakas screenshot — Surel—Nuva _(Talk) 16:47, 24 September 2017 (CET)

Ah, I never noticed that the Brakas didn't actually appear in the game. So, the only images we have are from that screenshot and from an issue of Nintendo Power. That wiki page you linked to is really thorough! Someone in the BZP thread claimed that the Brakas sprites are in fact in the game files but didn't elaborate. It's pretty easy to download a ROM for the game, so maybe someone can double-check? —Planetperson 00:38, 25 September 2017 (CET)

I tried to find any useful sprites, but it was unsuccessful for I only find that early screenshot from the game's prototype. — Surel—Nuva _(Talk) 01:08, 25 September 2017 (CET)

Jointdog created a spritesheet of the Brakas from QftT source and shows what the red and blue version of it would have looked like here. We could use one of those as long as we note that this is how the Brakas would have appeared. MDean (talk) 23:31, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
