The reef triggerfish also holds cultural values to the Hawaiian natives although it is not endemic to the Hawaiian waters. This triggerfish is thought to be connected to the Hawaiian pig god Kamapua’a.<ref>{{cite thesis |last=Kame'eleihiwa |first=L. |date=1982 |title=Legendary tradition of kamapua'a, the hawaiian pig-god |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/2453224347 |degree=Masters |publisher=University of Hawai'i at Manoa|id={{ProQuest|2453224347}} }}</ref> Kamapua’a was notorious for his violent behaviors. He ended up marrying the fire goddess Pele but because of his behavior they began fighting. Pele fought with lava and Kamapua’a with control over the ocean waters. Pele requested the help of the underworld and other gods, and together they drove Kamapua’a over a cliff where he fell into the ocean water becoming the reef triggerfish. The fish’s thick skin is meant to symbolize the armor needed to swim past the waves of Pele.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://molokinicrater.com/humuhumunukunukuapuaa-fish/ |title=Fish of the Month: humuhumunukunukuapuaʻa |date=December 12, 2017 |website=Molokini Crater}}</ref>
