Origin and character’s universe
Tamatoa is a secondary antagonist from Disney Studios’ 56th animated film, Moana: The Legend of the End of the World, released in 2016. The plot is inspired by the traditions and tales of Polynesian mythology, following the quest of a young girl determined to sail across the ocean to save her home island. Tamatoa is a giant crab measuring around fifteen metres, belonging to the fictional species of monster crabs from Lalotai, the underground kingdom of monsters. Characterised by a pronounced sense of pride and an obsessive love for anything that glitters, he hoards countless treasures, jewels and gold objects on his carapace, including the precious magic hook that the demigod Maui attempts to recover throughout the story.
