Mo'o of Hawaiian legend are aquatic dragons that often appear as beautiful women, geckos, and giant lizards.

In one tale, volcano goddess Pele sends her younger sister, Hi'iaka, on an errand to slay three mo'o and rescue her mortal sweetheart. #BookologyThursday

So for this #RockinTuesday, here's a shot from Waialua on Oahu. Somewhere around here is a mo'o, a dragon spirit...

The Hawaiian word mo'o can be applied to any reptile, but the mo'o described in Hawaiian mythology are large dragon-like creatures that serve as the guardians of certain bodies of water. They also have the power to shapeshift between reptilian and human form. #MythologyMonday

Here's my first video exploring the Hawaiian inspirations for Pokémon, locations, & themes from the Alola region.

Salazzle draws inspiration from fire-bellied newts and mo'o, the female dragons of Hawaiian mythology.

Also in Hawai'i, the Honu like the Mo'o (lizard), Pueo (owl) and the Mano (shark) are sacred in Native Hawaiian culture.

Seeing a turtle is very lucky! We have the Honu, the Hawaiian sea turtle. Turtles are so beautiful.

Banana flowers, which mo’o (geckos) love to lick.
Each one of those long flowers will eventually produce a banana.

The mo’o of Hawaiian myth, a shapeshifter and attributed to being almost always female and reptilian. Coincidentally also related to the taniwha.

Mo'o are versatile and quick on their feet. But so are tanuki.

In that moment as the sword was out of position, she lunged in, and shoved the second one right into his chest. "Now, you're-" before the Lizard could finish her thought, she was met with an open palm shove, pushing her off him easily. Her eyes went wide, and she hissed at the tanuki on primal instinct, "My spell should've paralyzed his body! How's he still fighting?! Much less standing!?" Uki Uki thought to herself as the tanuki began to slowly shuffle towards the mo'o keeping his sword in position to protect himself. She glowered at him, looking for a weak spot... noticing his unprotected legs. Changing her arm from one of the thin and weak moth limbs to a massive octopus tentacle, lashing it around his leg before he could react pulling him off balance, she quickly got up as he was dazed from landing on his back. Quickly flipping over and moving on all fours, she pounced ready to pin him down. Only to have herself knocked back from a massive wooden pole staff from one of the leafs he was hiding. He was faster, and more clever than she suspected. The tanuki staggered to his feet the pole from his back gone- but one in his hands, he was versatile too. As Uki Uki got to her feet, she noticed something; the way he held it, it was the exact same pose as one of her other suspects would use with their halbred, Sidra Set. Her eyes narrowed, "No wonder he caught me so quickly... he seemed to keep attention to detail and mannerisms, too." Uki Uki mused, then got an idea; "Are you really gonna hurt an unarmed lady?" Uki Uki questioned, Tycho glowered. "You're a shape-shifter, hardly defenseless." Tycho noted, his eyes scanning every inch of the fake moth's body watching for another tentacle trick. "That's true... the only problem for you is; you don't know which kind. You dont know what'll sear my flesh, and what will just make me retreat."

#Orchids are #flowers, too.
I took this picture at one of our orchid society meetings, at least ten years ago. I noticed that this Cymbidium orchid was jiggling a bit, so I got my camera ready. Up popped a green gecko (mo’o), and I was able to get the shot.

I think this is a night-blooming cereus bud, but I’m not positive.
See the small mo’o there? (gecko)
