Poliʻahu is the most famous of the four deity sisters of Mauna Kea, the beautiful snow goddess who makes the summit her home. Poliʻahu, whose name means “cloaked blossom,” or “temple bosom,” is a legendary daughter of Wākea who dwells at the summit of Mauna Kea. As the snow and ice goddess, she is the antithesis of her fiery archrival, Pele. It is Poliʻahu who spreads her beautiful white kapa across the summit of Mauna Kea in the winter, and adorns the mountain with her pink and gold cloak in the summer. The summit of Mauna Loa is also that of Poliʻahuʻs, though she occasionally still has arguments with Pele regarding that. She is the eldest daughter of Kāne and, her younger sisters are her ladies in waiting. Many men have pursued her, yet she always ends up alone.

This creature is endangered.

Kaihon eggs are remarkable in that they have a fuzzy, leafy texture to them. It feels like you're touching a fern leaf!

About the Kaihon Creature

Kaihons are, historically, one of the most persecuted species in Ark. Thousands of years ago, the superstitious beliefs that once governed Ark (stronger than they do today) lead humans to participate in Kaihon Wing Burnings. Humanity believed that stripping a Kaihon of its wings was a way of balancing the power of Mother Nature with humanity. It was humanity's way of exerting itself against Mother Nature.

As a result, Kaihons have a natural aversion to humans and do not enjoy socializing or being close to humans. However, they are very friendly with their own kind and frequently help each other. Kaihons are very compassionate creatures.

Today, Kaihons are one of the most protected species in Ark. Harming a Kaihon, even unintentionally, can be punishable by 10 years in prison.
