Xandoré (pronounced Shan-doh-reh) is the god of wrath and hatred and is the one who motivates war between men. It is said that he hated men and so he took discord to encourage wars between them. Xandoré is able to transform into a hawk. In some cultures, he is associated with storms.

Legend[]

When Tupã got angry with Pirarucu, Xandoré was called by him to carry his lightning to the target. Xandoré managed to hit Pirarucu squarely in the heart, but despite the latter's faint, the former decided that death was not a worthy punishment, so he convinced Tupã to turn him into a fish.
