⚠️ Danger: 8

The Adaro are dangerous aquatic spirits from the mythology of the Solomon Islands. Unlike typical mermaid or sea spirit myths, Adaro are malevolent beings that travel via waterspouts and hurl poisonous fish at humans from the sea. Described as half-man, half-fish, with features like a shark fin, gills behind the ears, and even a pufferfish growing out of their head, they represent a darker counterpart to benevolent sea spirits. They’re believed to dwell in the sun’s western path after sunset, symbolizing danger and death from the ocean depths.
