Ruaumoko

Ruaumoko (also known as Ruamoko) is the youngest son of Rangi and Papa, god of volcanoes and seasons. He has never been born and remains inside his mother’s womb. His movements are considered the cause of earthquakes.

In other forms of Māori mythology, Ruaumoko was born and clung to Mother Papa’s breast until he fell into the Underworld. There, when he walked he created earthquakes in the upper-world. He is also known as husband of Hine Titama’, the goddess of death and a daughter of Tāne.
