demonic mountain Māori single tradition · 1
Ohomatakamokamo is a tupua (child of the Fire God) in Māori tradition who lived on Te Rua Maunga at Lake Pupuke with his wife Matakerepo. He cursed Mahuika when the fire outside their dwelling died during an argument with his wife, which led to Mataaho destroying their mountain home and forming Lake Pupuke and Rangitoto. In some versions, he was turned to stone by Mataaho, forming the crater Onepoto.
