Another story As a boy, Muthappan was rebellious. He was a great hunter and would skin the animals that he killed and wear their skins as clothes. One day, he came across a coconut tree that was being tapped for toddy, the liquor fermented from coconut sap. He climbed the tree and emptied the jar that was holding the toddy. When the toddy tapper returned and saw Muthappan, he immediately challenged him. Muthappan turned the man to stone for daring to address such a powerful god in this manner. During performances of Muthappan theyyam, the performer consumes the toddy liquor and passes it around to the spectators.

Few years back temple authorities desided to reduce the number of dogs inside the temple. They took some dogs and puppys away from the temple and left them alone. Surprisingly from the very day onwards, while Sree Muthappan Theyyam was performed, the performer was not able to do that, actually once the performer finishes theyyam dressing, the sprit of Sree Muthappan enters his body and the performer becomes God till the theyyam performance is finished. Since the dogs was taken away from the temple, Sree Muthappan do not enter theyyam performers body. Knowing this the Dogs were bought back to the temple. From that day onwards theyyam performance was as usual.
