Nifoloa
Nifoloa is a dreaded spirit deity of Samoan tradition, feared especially in the Falelima district of Savai'i, who is said to inflict fatal pricks on intruders and the unwary. The name is bound up with sharp, stinging harm, and the figure is counted among the malevolent forces of Samoan spirit belief. Villagers treat Nifoloa with caution and respect to avoid its deadly touch.
