Tamatoa is a villanous crab who loves all things shiny. In an effort to exude beauty and superiority, Tamatoa displays his collected treasures atop his golden shell. An avid collector and hoarder, Tamatoa's materialistic obsession has driven him into madness over time. He can be found in his cave surprising unsuspecting victims and stealing their treasures.

Personality: Tamatoa is unpredictable and possibly insane. His mood tends to shift at the drop of a hat, going from cheeky and comedic, to murderous and menacing in a mere matter of seconds. He's quite monstrous in both size and attitude; one of his most well-known traits being his sadistic habit of eating anyone around him, be they humans, sea creatures or even deities—he even admitted to eating his own grandmother. He is a narcissist who loves talking (and sometimes singing) about himself. He views himself as above everyone else in beauty, but deep down he is very insecure about himself.

Voice Direction: Tamatoa has a mid to low smooth voice with a New Zealand Accent. Feel free to use his official voice as a reference
