The Wapuu\u2019s <strong>yellow body<\/strong>, a staple of the mascot, has been preserved and works seamlessly with the event\u2019s color scheme for this year.

The yellow of Wapuu\u2019s body contrasts beautifully with the cool blue and green tones of the Fajalauza pattern, creating a dynamic and eye-catching design that feels both timeless and contemporary.
