Editing Kaulu (section)

== Abilities ==
The Hawaiian god Kaulu has many strange abilities and is an extremely powerful fighter. This in which  Kaulu is a trickster god and is quite destructive and at times violent, and is known for being one of the most powerful beings in Hawaiian mythology. In fact, Kaulu was even powerful enough to kill several other deities of the Hawaiian pantheon. Kaulu is immortal and does not age.  Kaulu also seems to be invulnerable to being harmed when fighting.  In one the legends of Kaulu, he fought against some of the other gods and killed them, and he killed a huge monster shark.  Kaulu had his strange abilities since birth, he was already able to shapeshift, speak, and other things.

Kaulu's brother Kaeha also displayed his [[shapeshifting]] ability when he turned into a tiny size and hid in a leaf while speaking to people as a prank, and making them sacrifice their alcoholic beverage to him. Kaulu also has the ability to communicate with spirits, and when he was a kid he used the spirits to find his brother Kaeha.  It would seem that Kaulu actually has some kind of reality warping ability as well.  When Kaulu was just a child he challenged the ocean and its waves to a fight, and the huge, many story high waves crashed against him, but he didn't even budge.  {{Citation needed|date=July 2023}}

Kaulu then struck the ocean, and ever since then, the waves around [[Hawaii]] have been much smaller.  In another legend, Kaulu's brother Kaeha was tricked by some of the gods to go out on a surfboard then be eaten by the chief of sharks, so Kaulu then drained the entire ocean by drinking it, hence why the ocean is salty.  Kaulu then tore the jaws of the shark apart with his bare hands and freed and saved his brother Kaeha.  The story mentions Kaulu being attacked by some other supernatural figure with a lightning bolt, and Kaulu blocked the lightning bolt with one finger. {{Citation needed|date=July 2023}}

In the legends of Kaulu, he was even able to pull pranks on the spirits and gods and was so good at shapeshifting that not even spirits could find him when he hid from them. The Hawaiian seer or sage Makali stated that Kaulu is "all-powerful". In another part of the legend, Kaulu flies or travels to the realm of the gods in heaven and asks them for food.  The guards jokingly agree to let him have as much as he can carry, and Kaulu takes all of the food and storage of their entire farm in his arms.
