One of the figures in Catalan traditional festivities like festes majors are these big-headed characters. They are called different names depending on the area: cabeçuts, capgrossos, cabuts, cabets, caparrots, nanos or nanets. All these words derive from the concepts of "big head" or "short person", since that's their most iconic characteristic.
They're hollow paper-mache figures where the dancer puts their head in, and sees through the figure's mouth. They dance usually cheerful songs and greet the people who are watching, particularly children.
The figures can represent stereotypical people from the town (a school child, a rich man, a priest, a farmer, a heiress, etc), local historical or legendary people (nobles, pirates, etc), or just silly people. In some places, if someone from the town/city becomes famous or does something very good for the town, people can choose to make a capgròs that represents them.
If I'm not mistaken, this figures also exist in Basque culture, where they are called buruhandiak or kilikiliak (am I right, @beautiful-basque-country?)

i gotta be honest with yall i absolutely hate New Year's Eve. i just wish i could go to sleep tonight and wake up on January 1st 2024 already.
it just gives me so much anxiety and it's such a chaotic festivity; i always try to include as many activities as possible before midnight and one way or another something gets left out which is just extremely frustrating. everything past midnight feels so exciting so it takes me AGES before going to sleep because i wanna make sure im not missing out on anything, as if the most important event of 2024 is gonna happen between those hours.
Mad lord of festivity,
Drunkenness in a full throe,
Granting frivolous creativity
For the sake of entertainment,
Let joy also become mighty
To erase grievance.

People from Solsona (Central Catalonia) celebrating Carnival.
In this city, one of the main traditions for the Carnival festivity is the silly version of giants and "big-heads". In other Catalan festivities like festa major and Corpus, there are elegant giants and silly "big-head" figures that dance on the streets. Following the spirit of Carnival, which is to make fun of everything, the giants and "big-heads" that dance for Carnival are made to be caricaturesque.
