It shows the power and the somewhat scary aspect of this important Hawaiian deity.
The story of the Mo'o is quite well - known. The Mo'o is a shape - shifter, often taking the form of a lizard or a beautiful woman. In some tales, she is a malevolent spirit that lives in water sources like rivers or waterfalls. If someone disrespects the water or the area where she lives, she might come out and cause harm, like dragging people into the water or causing floods in the nearby areas. There are many versions of this story passed down through generations in Hawaii.
One famous Hawaiian scary story is about the night marchers. They are a procession of spirits of ancient Hawaiian warriors. It is said that if you see them, you should not look directly at them or make any noise. If you do, bad things will happen to you. They are often accompanied by torches and drums, and they march along paths that were once used by the warriors in ancient times.
