Hero Twins/Monster Slayer
Monster Slayer and Child-of-the-water are the War Gods, having been transformed from earthly beings. They are ye'i, at least in the sense that they are impersonated by masked dancers, but are perhaps in a class by themselves. More about this legend

Sandpainting
The gods' sandpaintings are kept on deerskin or on sheets of sky or naska rather than being made new in sand each time. The picture cannot be given in this form to men who are not as "good" as the gods; "They might quarrel over the picture and tear it, and that would bring misfortune; the black cloud would not come again, the rain would not fall; the corn would not grow."?
