Kupua
（重定向自Kapua）
In Hawaiian mythology, the Kupua are a group of demigods: heroic tricksters.
Hawaiian myths and legends abound with such characters. They are traditionally described as monsters having the power of appearing in different kinds of bodies. They usually have cruel and vindictive characters and are ready to destroy and devour any persons they can catch. There are, however, many kupuas of kindly spirit who give watchful care to the members of their own families.
