Tāwhiri (pronounced “tay-WEER-ree”) is the fierce and powerful God of Storms, including thunder and lightning, wind, clouds, and other violent weather. He is a son of Rangi and Papa, who was opposed to his brothers forcing their parents apart. In his anger for separating their parents, Tāwhiri formed an army from his children (winds and clouds of all kinds) and destroyed the forests of Tāne, drove Tangaroa and his progeny out to sea, pursued Rongo and Haumia until they had to take refuge in the bosom of their mother Papa, and only found in Tū a worthy opponent and eternal enemy.

Tāwhiri’s mask is gray, with jagged yellow lines on the forehead that represent lightning, and blue spirals on the cheeks that represent wind. His presence is represented by smoldering incense. Tāwhiri is worshipped by the people of the Fire Islands out of fear, not respect: incense and burnt offerings are made for him in special rooftop shrines, in the hope that the appearance of smoke will remind Tāwhiri of his own children (the clouds) and placate him into sparing the island. His true followers, those who seek his will and power, are sahuagin, blue dragons, and other evil creatures who admire destruction.

Tāwhiri belongs to the Fire Islands Pantheon.
