The guardian spirit of Rapanui families in the mythology of Easter Island. They have a rather thin build, while they are incredibly strong. They are able to take the form of any object of living and inanimate nature.
Aku-Aku live in inaccessible places of the island and from time to time are shown to residents in the form of various animals, carrying good or bad omens.
Sometimes these spirits choose a family and become its protectors, fulfilling all the wishes of family members. With people who have unkind feelings towards this family, Aku-Aku behave aggressively and vindictively.
It is believed that they are involved in the installation of moai (stone statues on Easter Island).
Считается, что именно духи Аку-Аку причастны к установке моаи (каменные статуи на острове Пасхи). Несмотря на свою худобу, они обладают достаточной силой, чтобы и сейчас иногда перемещать их по острову.
