Kāihau
kaitiaki o te hau me te rangi
Guardian of the air and the skies.
Dominating Aotearoa's skies, Kaihau, the celestial taniwha, prowls with fierce determination. Her scales blaze like the untamed Southern Lights and her eyes reflect the piercing light of distant stars.
In every thunderous gust, Kaihau's mighty breath demands respect. She is fierce and formidable, a presence that echoes through the roaring winds, warning all who dare to disrupt the balance.
