He appeared to be slightly vain as well in Raya's description.
Physical appearance
Dang Hai is a Southeast-Asian man who wears the purple and pink color scheme clothing of his Kumandra tribe, Talon.
Role in the film
Dang Hai and a few of his people attend the truce meeting of their divided lands, as Chief Benja of the Heart land wishes for all of them to become Kumandra again. After the gem was broken to pieces, he took one and kept it at Talon.
When Raya reaches his house in Talon, it is revealed he has been turned to stone by the Druun, while Dang Hu became the new chieftess in his place. He is later revived along with the rest of the Druun's victims when the gem is placed back together.
