Tuna

(Maori mythology) A god, considered the son of Manga-wai-roa and source of eels.
- 1887, John White, The Ancient History of the Maori, page 84:
  Tuna was carried down by the flood; and when Maui saw him in the net he stretched forth his arm and with a blow of his stone axe smote Tuna and cut off his head, and it and the tail fell into the ocean. [...] The head became fish, and the tail became the koiro (ngoiro—conger-eel).
