Immunity Necklace

The **Immunity Necklace** is awarded to an individual, or in rare cases individuals, who have won an individual Immunity Challenge post-merge.

## About

Similar to the Tribal Immunity Idol that grants a group of castaways an exemption from Tribal Council, the Immunity Necklace grants one castaway individual safety. Unlike Tribal Immunity, the safe individual still attends and casts a vote at Tribal Council. However, the other players cannot cast a vote against the safe individual.

When a contestant is in possession of the necklace, it is brought back to camp and typically placed on the shelter. While other castaways can "try on" the necklace, ownership lies solely with the winner and cannot be stolen by another, unless the winner decides to give up the necklace.

## Design

Typically, the Necklace will fit with the motif of the season, with some tribal design or small tiki attached. Other designs include feathers, tiki heads, skulls, and even teeth. A winning contestant will wear the necklace at Tribal Council around their neck to indicate their exemption from being voted against.
