Irawaru

Irawaru is a figure in Māori mythology who, according to legend, was transformed into a dog by his brother-in-law Māui.

After being transformed by Māui, Irawaru becomes a dog. There is no description of his appearance as a human.

As a dog, Irawaru's abilities and behaviors are limited to those of a canine. However, it is worth noting that Irawaru's transformation is at the hands of Māui, who has supernatural powers in Māori mythology.
