Immunity Idol

The **Immunity Idol** is a totem that symbolizes tribal immunity and is awarded to the winning tribe(s) of an Immunity Challenge. Not to be confused with the Hidden Immunity Idol or the Immunity Necklace, the Immunity Idol serves as a trophy-of-sorts that grants an entire tribe exemption from Tribal Council, thus avoiding elimination. When tribes convene at an Immunity Challenge, the winning tribe passes the Immunity Idol back to the host.

The idol is different every season and reflects the local culture or motif theme of the season. In seasons with more than two initial tribes, the Immunity Idol is separated into multiple pieces, to be shared by multiple tribes. In the event when the multiple tribes are spread into two new tribes, the tribe that wins the challenge would obtain the complete idol. The three exceptions were on *Philippines*, *Cagayan*, and *Mamanuca Islands*, where two separate tribal Immunity Idols were up for grabs.

## Trivia

* In most seasons, the idol is shaped like an ornate trophy, but in some seasons such as *Panama*, *Fiji*, *Samoa*, *Vanuatu* and *The Congo* the idol is shaped like a spear, and is stuck in the ground instead of being placed on a pedestal.
* The Immunity Idol could sometimes be representative of a local deity and not just a cultural object. For example, in *Blood vs. Water* it is Caishen, the god of wealth in Chinese mytholog and in *Thailand*, the Immunity Idol is a statue of Thepanom, the angel of protection in Thai culture.
