In Maori mythology, the Manaia is a powerful symbol that represents a guardian against evil and a bearer of great spiritual energy. It is often depicted as a figure with the head of a bird and the body of a man, or as a creature with a serpentine body and two heads. The Manaia is believed to have the ability to travel between the spiritual and physical worlds, and is often seen as a protector and guide.
