Unfortunately we had to adapt the design for costs reasons. So here is the two-legged version. I like it very much !

Mo'orea, which means yellow lizard, is the daughter of a women, chief of Tiarera'i tribe, and a taniwha.
She is the protector of the tribe's graveyard and only her sacred wood sword can repel the demons, coming to eat the departed's souls.
Pa'ipa'i, the jellyfish, was a gift from her taniwha father, and is her link to the dead realm. He gives her the power of seeing the demons and spirits, that makes her the messenger between Tiarera'i people and ancestors.
