Ukupanipo
Water deity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Hawaiian mythology, Ukupanipo is a shark god who controls the amount of fish close enough for the fisherman to catch.[1][2][3] He occasionally adopts a human child who gains the power to transform into a shark, but when in human form has a mark like a shark's mouth under their shoulder blades.[2]
