Native American Hopi Carved Wind Deity Katsina Doll by Milton Howard
The Wind (Yaponcha) is not a katsina but is a being or myth meant to scare the children. He is disliked and when he appears, which is rarely, people throw stones at him to try to get him to leave so the wind will stop blowing. In the male form he frightens the girls into good behavior, in the female form he frightens the boys into good behavior. Click on numbered boxes below image for additional views.
