Kaiaimunu is an important hybrid creature in Papuan mythology which has 2 widely divergent explainations. In Papua New Guinea, there have been numerous sightings of a creature that looks like a dinosaur. Researchers have referred to it as a Kaiaimunu, and it's believed that it's a descendant of the raptor family. Although it's not clear if this animal is a Therizinosaurus, it has long neck and front claws, which are similar to those of the famous raptor.

In the Purari Delta, people believe that a demon called Kaiamunu is a part of their initiation rituals. He's supposed to swallow and regurgitate to life. The houses of the tribe's men are made out of materials that are similar to what Kaiamunu looks like.

In the Purari region the Kaiamunu is represented as a piece of wickerwork that is shaped like a basket with four legs. The monster is considered to be 9 to 12 feet long with a long neck and a large mouth. The beast is also said to have a roar that resembles thunder.

On the other hand, in the other version it's believed that this creature, which is about 10 to 15 meters long, has a long tail and a large neck. It looks like a wallaby with a head similar to that of a turtle's. It also has smooth brown skin. It was described as having a top head that was as high as a house, and its underbelly was as high as an adult. The physical attribute that makes it resemble the Therizinosaurus is the presence of front claws.
