Dzoonokwa, one of the best known mythical personages in Kwakwaka'wakw art, is usually represented as a female. She is a giantess of great strength and awesome appearance. Her characteristic features are large size, dark hairy body, hanging breasts, and a great head with heavy brow, arched nose, sunken cheeks and eyesockets, and lips pushed foward and rounded to produce her fearsome cry, "Oooooh!" (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
