The Nataska or Ogre Kachina
is part of the fearsome team that accompany the Soyoko when she terrorizes the
children. He usually comes as a pair, standing behind the Soyoko when she
bargains for the lives of the children. He would stomp his feet and drags his
saw in order to intimidate the children. Stories states that he would seek
children and snatch them home to eat them. Together with his dark clothing and
broad face, the children are very petrified of him during the ceremonies. The
feathered fan on his headdress is made of turkey feathers and is placed together
to make him look even taller.
