The hook is notable in that it grants Maui the ability to shapeshift.

Aside from being a weapon, Maui also uses the fish hook in his dances and performances, swinging it around himself as he does so.

According to Maui, he used the fish hook to slow down the sun itself, pull islands out of the sea, and battle colossal monsters. Like its owner, the fish hook has elaborate markings engraved on it, representing the various tales and adventures it has been used in. It had since been used throughout his exploits and has considerable magical abilities. It was given to Maui after the gods adopted the former and turned him into a demigod with supernatural power.

The fish hook is a sizable bone-like weapon created by the gods of Polynesian lore.
