In many myths, Whiro is refered to as Whiro of Kisa (kee-ssa). He is described as a dragon that resides in Kisa Bay. The Kisians were about to be invaded by the Niscupi tribe. The Kisians had little hope as they had just returned from a disappointing defeat. The Niscupi boarded their boats and shipped off to Kisa. The Niscupi army passed through Kisa Bay with their war drums sounding. Whiro was disturbed from his hibernation and very much angered by the Niscupi. As punishment, he casted greedy thoughts into the crew. They quarreled for ten days and never moved from the bay. In the midst of all there arguing they depleted their food reserves. It was then that the Kisians attacked their enemies and defeated them. The Kisians celebrate their victory and honored Whiro of Kisa.
