Kamapua'a
In Hawaiian mythology, Kamapuaa ("hog son") is a hog-man fertility god. Kamapuaa is best known for his romantic pursuit of the fire goddess Pele, who he shared a turbulent relationship with. Despite Pele's power, Kamapuaa's persistence allows him to turn her lava rock into fertile soil. He often appeared as a handsome chief, but could also take the shape of various plants and animals. Whenever he turned into a boar, he had eight eyes.
