and as I mentioned in the Oceania thread. there are some Birdmen Mythos, in regards to the Maori and Easter Island. so a summon of something like a Tengu would be nice.

theres also the detachable flying head vampires. though truthfully not sure were I originally heard those because they ain't a Maori Myth

you have your Taniwha, sea monster. sharks, eels, sea serpents, or something else. it really depends on where your from for its description.

and another thing I can think of are River Spirits
Thanks, Lavaere. I'll definitely incorporate the Patu - with the Togungas I was trying to model their weapons on the symbols for each god/spirit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Maorigodsymbols.jpg

Do you think I could get away with simply renaming them as Tohunga patu (even though they don't look like historical patu) or maybe "godsticks"?

I definitely need to incorporate the Taniwha, and I intended for MA Alchera (when I make it) to be more Maori/Pacific Islander, including te moku and more of the gods (Ruaomoko and Hine-nui-te-po).
