Pö-ökang-hoya and Palö-ngao-hoya are the Twin War Gods, grandsons of the Spider Woman, who mingle with the people and play tricks on them, but if the people are in trouble, they appeal to their wise grandmother who shows them how to outwit evil.
They are sometimes impersonated and the people who take part in the ceremonies keep images of them in their houses. They are not associated with any particular ceremony, but may appear in several, nor are they impersonated by members of any particular society or clan, but by anyone who is selected. Both war gods are depicted as young boys, but yet as warriors."--Colton.
