The piece below on the left is the part that juts out from the chin. It is likely the last piece
to be built onto the structure. It is included here in order to save space and also to make
it easier if you want the ornamentation pieces like the above gem and the chin piece to
be printed on different colors of paper.

The two smaller pieces on this page are included here to save paper when
printing. It also is convenient if you want the vent-like areas facing forward
on either side of the head to appear the same color as the ridge on top
of the head. They should be attached after the next page.
