Adaro
[Other] In Melanesian belief (San Christoval, Ulawa, southern Mala island), the bad part or soul-substance of a man which remains after death as a ghost. Distinguished from the figona or spirits which were never human. See also Aunga. On the Solomon Islands, an adaro is a malevolent sea-spirits in the shape of a fish-man, a man with tail fins on his feet and gills behind his ears.

It is believed that the adaro travels along rainbows and kills men by shooting poisenous flying fish at them.
