He had many affairs and is a symbol of lechery. He exchanged ribald taunts with Pele and then called on his plant forms — olomea, hala (pandanus), ʻuha-loa, ʻamaʻumaʻu (ferns) — to block her advancing fires, which they did (For. Sel. 228-229). He finally mated with Pele, taking for himself Hilo, Hāmā-kua, and Kohala, and allotting Kaʻū, Puna, and Kona to Pele. When he fought the dog Kū-ʻīlio-loa he called on his kukui, ʻuha-loa, and ʻāmaʻumaʻu forms to hold the dog's mouth open; he then multiplied himself into many pigs and entered the mouth to kill the dog (For. Sel. 214-215). Other forms included a handsome man, kūkae-puaʻa grass, clouds, the humuhumu-nukunuku-ā-puaʻa fish, and the god Lono. lit., hog man. See Makaliʻi; ʻOlopana. (FS 196–249)
