A hookah is a device used for smoking that operates through indirect heat and water filtration. A traditional hookah is composed of a base filled partially with water, a bowl in which the substance being smoked is placed, a pipe which plunges into the water of the base, and a hose that connects to the smoke-filled portion of the base. The source of heat is generally placed on top of the bowl.
The peculiar golden hookah is an inhabitant of Bopalopia. It appears to have some form of life as it pulls itself along by its tassels, wandering the land while belching out colourful, often stupefying, smoke.
