Puna
Tuamotuan · deity · mythic prehistoric · deity
Entered deity / male / immortal / mythic-prehistoric. ACCURACY NOTE: the prompt glossed Puna as 'the eel-lord of the deep', but the Tuamotuan sources firmly make Puna the SHARK-form king/sovereign of the lost sea-land Hiti-marama in the Rata/Vahi-vero cycle (the distinct eel of the Tuamotu cycles is Te Tuna, slain by Maui); Puna is authored accordingly. SOLITARY: his kin and the heroes he opposes (Kui, Vahi-vero, Tahiti-tokerau, Rata) are not authored figures in this batch, so no in-batch kin edge is asserted.
