  • In Fijian mythology, Dakuwaqa (Dakuwanga) is a shark-god. He was greatly respected by fishermen because he protected them from any danger at sea and sometimes protected them from evil denizens of the sea. He was once going inland to conquer Kadavu Island through the river when another goddess challenged him in the form of an octopus. After a great battle, the octopus won by pulling out his teeth with her 8 arms which enabled her to hold off the massive attack of Dakuwaqa, forcing Dakuwaqa to promise to never attack Kadavu again. That is how Dakuwaqa became the god and protector of Kadavu. Dakuwaqa can also change shape into anything, but his real form is that of a muscular Fijian man with the upper torso of a shark. In the book Pacific Irishman, the Anglican priest Charles William Whonsbon-Aston records in Chapter 1, Creation: When I came to Fiji the famed fish-god, the Dakuwaqa, was very much a reality. The Government ship, the Lady Escott, reached Levuka with signs of an encounter with the great fish, while the late Captain Robbie, a well known, tall, and very erect Scot, even to his nineties, told of the sleepy afternoon as his cutter was sailing from his tea estate at Wainunu, under a very light wind, with most of the crew dozing. A great fish, which he described as near 60 feet in length, brown-spotted and mottled on its back, with the head of a shark and the tail of a whale, came up under his ship, almost capsizing it. The crew, instantly awake and concerned, followed the ancient pattern, pouring a strong libation of kava into the sea, which, it would seem, was just the right idea for placating fish-gods; the monster slowly submerged, the breeze gradually gathered the cutter away, its keel dragging along the monster's back, making the skin pale. To the Fijian crew this was the "Dakuwaqa"--in the twentieth century; what must have been the effect in the tenth? (en)
  • Nella mitologia figiana, Daquwaka è un dio squalo. Riceveva grande rispetto dai pescatori, che ne invocavano la protezione contro i pericoli rappresentati dal mare e dai suoi abitanti. Coraggioso, testardo e geloso delle sue prerogative, sta a guardia dei varchi nella barriera corallina. Diverse leggende locali lo dipingono in lotta con altri guardiani, come la piovra che lo imprigionò tra i suoi tentacoli a Kadavu dopo un'estenuante tenzone, costringendolo alla resa e a promettere che avrebbe vegliato sull'isola e sui suoi abitanti.
