What do you think Tamatoa's relationship with his grandmother was like? I know he ate her, obvi, but do you think it was out of anger or self defense? Did they have a falling out?
while I’m totally into the hc that tamatoa doesn’t mind eating lesser beings such as kakamoras or other creatures and I kind of think the same from maui, I like to think that eating your recent deceased is just how giant coconut crabs culture rolls
I imagine that tama’s grandma as the classic huge matriarch type of lady, very scary and serious, but that was strangely nice with her smaller family, not the type to spoil but the type that ask for you to come next to her, kinda pat you in the head/face, hand you some candies and send you away. A weird type of tenderness that Tama was alright with and liked, I think he probably miss her a bit
I think he probably was somewhere between teenhood and adulthood when the incident happen, also, she would be proud that he is using this to strike fear in the heart of his preys before eating them
