Trivia

• The name Kamohoalii is a reference to a shark god in Hawaiian mythology. Kotaki is the last name of Kekai Kotaki, a former ArenaNet concept artist who conceptualized this weapon.
• This item was named Maw of the Deep during beta testing.

Notes

Bugs:

• Currently, Kamohoali'i Kotaki does not use the stow animation.
• When equipping Kamohoali'i Kotaki with your weapon unsheathed outside of water, you will show part of the blue water-like aura; this won't fade away until you mount or change areas.
