If the [Gedo
Mazo](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Demonic_Statue_of_the_Outer_Path) is the
emptied body of the Ten-Tails, then why don't any of its forms look like that?

I have a theory as to why it doesn't have tails, maybe because its chakra was
split into the Tailed Beasts and hence it lost its tails. But it still doesn't
explain why none of the forms look like that considering that the Gedo Mazo is
the way the body looked when [Hagoromo
Ōtsutsuki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hagoromo_%C5%8Ctsutsuki), the Sage of
the Six Paths, sealed its empty body inside the moon with [Chibaku Tensei
(Planetary Devastation)](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Chibaku_Tensei).

Any ideas as to why this might be?

Why doesn't the Gedo Mazo have tails?


The Gedo Mazo is just a recipient. The body of Ten Tails is on the moon,
Rikudou sent his body there.

I think Madara and Obito plans to take the chakra of the Juubi in the Gedo
Mazo, the recipient, and put it back into the real body of Ten tails.

answer


The gedo statue doesn't possess any tails because it serves as a "husk" or
vessel for all the tailed beasts to reform into their original entity: the Ten
Tails. Instead of tails, the gedo statue possesses 9 featureless white eyes
that gain pupils for each tailed beast the statue reassimilates. This would
make sense since the ten tails eye possesses 9 tomoe that could symbolize each
tailed beast assimilated in its base form's eyes.
