Nataska
The Black Ogre
This is the Hunter or the Ogreís Father. His snout is generally very long. This kachina leads the other Ogres, Wiharuma and Nunuvenu and usually follows close behind the Soyokí Mana on First Mesa. He normally carries a bow and arrow in his left hand and either a saw or a sword in his right hand. He is one of the kachinas that threaten the children and make them pay ransom in food.
