He's not Lleu Llaw Gyffes, but this figure resembled a jellyfish when he was born, so his mother wrapped him in a lock of her hair and threw him into the sea. He took the shape of a wood pigeon to descend to the Underworld, which was ruled by his father, and he tricked a goddess into discarding her burning fingernails, thus learning from her that wood can be used to make fire. A flock of birds woke up the goddess of death while this figure was trying to gain immortality by crawling into her body. His other deeds include using his sister's hair to lasso the sun and force it to move slower, and hauling up the North Island while fishing. For 10 points, name this Polynesian trickster hero who is the namesake of a Hawaiian island.
