The Haakapainizi is a strange monster from the Kawaiisu people in what is currently Nevada. It looked like a giant grasshopper carrying around a large basket. It would move around singing and grabbing children to place in its basket. It was eventually killed by Mouse who tricked it into eating a hot coal. Eating this coal caused Haakapainizi to turn to stone from the inside out. Citations: Bane, Theresa. Encyclopedia of Beasts and Monsters in Myth, Legend and Folklore.
