The Púkel-Men or Watchstones:
“At each turn of the road there were great standing stones that had been carved in the likeness of men, huge and clumsy-limbed, squatting cross-legged with their stumpy arms folded on fat bellies. Some in the wearing of the years had lost all features save the dark holes of their eyes that still stared sadly at the passers-by. The Riders hardly glanced at them. The Púkel-men they called them…”
Return of the King, J.R.R. Tolkien
which were Made by the Drúedain people:
“…they were stumpy (some four foot high) but very broad, with heavy buttocks and short thick legs; their wide faces had deep-set eyes with heavy brows, and flat noses, and grew no hair below their eyebrows, except in a few men (who were proud of the distinction) a small tail of black hair in the midst of the chin. Their features were usually impassive, the most mobile being their wide mouths; and the movement of their wary eyes could not be observed save from close at hand for they were so black that the pupils could not be distinguished, but in anger they glowed red.”
Unfinished Tales, J.R.R. Tolkien
Canon Menehune-like people who carved tiki-like stone men with wide mouths, heavy brows, flat noses (as their features were). Cross-over so lawyered.
