This is a pig with attitude! Made of hard, glossy, dense milo wood, Pua`a Ho`ohoni sniffs the air (or is he sniffing you?). Kamapua`a (kah-mah-poo-AH-ah) is the fire goddess Pele's rival. She controls her territory with fire and smoke, while Kamapua`a uses guile and his many pig-forms to till, plant, fertilize and nurture his half of the island of Hawaii.

The Hawaiian pig is a lean, mean fighter in the wild, but tamed is a great pet if you and he get along. That's more his decision than yours. Pua`a Ho`ohoni's name means "sniffing pig", but if he approves of you, he knows that in Hawaiian, "ho`ohoni" also means "to kiss".
