I don't think Big Face is a mudokon-bird creature or whatever weird animal could we imagine. Big Face is a just mudokon. As a shaman, he wears a big mask for mystical pourposes.
Some native cultures(american, african) believe that a shaman, or sorcerer can use specific objects(masks, clothes) to get in touch with the sprits world. A mask could protect its owner from bad energies and evil spirits, and could make it easy to the good spirits to identify the owner of the mask.
It doesn't mean that anyone using BigFace's mask can have his power, because the mask only works with its owner, possibly as a mystic power enhancer.
