As Enik is a more evolved creature than the rest of his species, his head is filled with animatronic motors to help express more emotion, like a furrowing brow, the ability to squint and intricately moving lips.

The movements were controlled by a dedicated puppeteer and the head itself weighed more than thirteen pounds.
