Menehune

The Menehuns (Manehune, Menehune) are a mysterious highly developed people who, according to Polynesian myths, descended from the sky on the "large 3-tiered island of Kuaihelani". ​‌​​​‌ ​​‌‌​‌ ​​‌‌‌‌ ​​‌‌​‌ ​‌​​​‌ ​​‌‌​‌ ​​‌​​‌ ​‌​​​‌ ​​‌‌‌​ ​​‌‌‌​ ​​​‌‌​ ​‌​​‌‌ ​‌​‌​‌​ ​‌‌​‌‌​ ​‌‌‌​‌‌ ​​‌‌‌‌

In the mythology of the Polynesians, these are dwarfs - the masters of the forests. They live in caves and sometimes shoot people with their bows.

Legend has it that Menehune appears only at night to build masterpieces (they are excellent craftsmen and most of the great buildings of the island are considered to be from work). But if they fail to complete their work overnight, they will leave it unoccupied. No one except their children and the people associated with them can see Menehune.

It is considered that outwardly they are ugly creatures whose height ranges from 12 to 90 centimeters, which only vaguely resemble people. Menehun's gaze is focused and motionless. He usually terrifies others. At the same time, the creatures are friendly and often help people. Menehune appear at sunset: they do not like sunlight because they turn into stone under its influence.
