Kamohoalii

In Polynesian mythology (specifically: Hawaii), Kamohoalii is a shark god and a son of Haumea and Kane Milohai.

Kamohoali swam in the area around Maui and Kahoolawe. When a ship was lost at sea, Kamohoali shook his tail in front of the fleet and the kahuna would feed him awa (a strong, fermnted drink), and Kamohoali would guide the men home.

Alternative: Kalahiki (Kahoolawe)
