The 'Stone Man', the great adversary of the Ibonia epic, who abducts the hero's betrothed Iampelasoamananoro and is overcome by Ibonia in disguise. The name carries the element vato ('stone'); 'Stone Man' is Haring's rendering. Authored as a demigod (a more-than-mortal antagonist of the heroic cycle). Wired reciprocally as Ibonia's enemy and as the captor/rival over Iampelasoamananoro; no parentage is firmly named, so parentIds are omitted.
