Kubinaga (首長, lit. long neck) is an archetypical unused colossus, it's name first discovered in the data sheets.
Description[]
This colossus has a texture segment, however it is empty with no textures listed.
Fumito Ueda mentions in the artbook that he wanted a long-necked bird, and this colossus' name is similar to the way Ueda refers to Roc, being "首が長い - Kubi ga nagai".[1] It's possible that Kubinaga is the colossus featured in the "Bird III" sketch, as it has several elements that are also similar to Roc.
It had thin wings with runes similar to the ones in Roc's frill, meaning it's possible they were weakpoints. Its head was pointy and had a swirly design on its side. The only fur appears to be on its neck.
After Kubinaga was rejected, it's likely that it was one of the designs that were merged into Roc later on.
Trivia[]
- Kubinaga is misspelled as "Kubunaga" in the "se-frame-table".[2]
