Origin

According to Māori tradition, Tōtara-i-kāria was the ancestral vessel that carried Ngātoroirangi back to Hawaiki and played a central role in the migrations that settled New Zealand.

Appearance

Tōtara-i-kāria is not described as having a physical appearance; it exists as a symbolic representation of its people's connection to their ancestral homeland.

Abilities

The Tōtara-i-kāria was involved in an event where Ngātoroirangi summoned a storm through incantations, which destroyed Manaia's fleet seeking revenge. While not directly attributed to the vessel itself, this suggests a potential connection to spiritual or supernatural forces.
