Gag Nose

A weird and funny-looking nose. May or may not be detachable—who nose? Almost always symbolic of the character's personality. The most common shape for these noses is to either be extremely long and narrow, (like a stick, mind you), big and round like a clown nose, or the more realistic right-triangle nose. It can also have a different color (Most commonly red and pink) than the face does.
