Adaro
Adaro In Melanesian mythology, sun spirits who move about in waterspouts, cross from place to place using rainbows as bridges, or come to earth during sun showers. They are part fish, part human. Their chief is Nyorieru. An Adaro spirit may shoot a man with a flying fish, causing him to become unconscious. Only if a special offering is made in time will the victim recover.
