Abaia
Abaia is a gigantic magical eel from Melanesian mythology that dwells at the bottom of deep freshwater lakes in Fiji, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu. The beast considers all creatures in the lake its children and protects them furiously against anyone who would harm or disturb them. Those foolish enough to catch fish from a lake containing Abaia are overwhelmed by a great wave caused by the thrashing of its powerful tail.
