Menehune

The Menehune are beings from Hawaiian folklore prominently featured at Disney's Aulani resort in Hawaii.

The menehune are a shy group of little folk believed to come out a night and build things such as bridges and canoes, with mysterious half-finished projects out in the middle of nowhere being their handiwork. At Aulani, there are a number of hidden Menehune figures found throughout the grounds and they are credited as being the ones who constructed the Menehune Bridge water play area. Additionally, they are the central focus of the Menehune Adventure Trail interactive scavenger hunt.

Other appearances
In one of the Lilo and Stitch comic stories printed in Disney Adventures prior to the film's release, Lilo tells a ghost story about the Menehune to frighten Mertle and her gang, complete with using a dressed up Scrump as part of a ghost prank.

In Tales from Adventureland: The Keymaster's Quest, the Menehune are described as the creators of the Enchanted Tiki Room, constructing it as a magical bird sanctuary for an intelligent breed of birds known as the Akamai.
