Regardless of wether the mask itself looks cute, I still think it is serving the purpose of making the Shakalaka's appear as much larger than they actually are. Not to mention Cha-Cha and Kayamba seem to be a bit different then most Shakalakas considering they can actually peacefully live with the humans. It seems pretty much all other Shakalaka are very territorial and dismissive towards any other species but themselves. This could be related to the fact that both Cha-Cha and Kayamba are young and therefore more open and innocent though. Perhaps the Shakalakas do not even realize themselves the masks serve as a survival mechanism, only wearing them since they are so ingrained in the Shakalakas' society.
