Description

Barinade is a parasitic lifeform that grew inside of the Zora deity Lord Jabu-Jabu. Jabu-Jabu is a gargantuan fish-like entity that the Zora's worship as the embodied spirit of the seas. In his plot to obtain the Triforce, the Dark Lord Ganondorf attempted to capture the Zora's spiritual stone, the Zora's Sapphire. He was refused by King Zora XVI and in an act of vengeance placed a curse on Jabu-Jabu. Barinade grew inside the fish-god, infesting his insides and causing him great pain. Barinade resembles a large jellyfish-like creature that is anchored to the inside of Jabu-Jabu. It is connected by a series of tentacles that worked their way deep into Jabu-Jabu's body. Although it appears to be an individual organism, it is in fact a colonial lifeform, with many smaller Bari jellyfish comprising a large portion of its main body. When the Hero of Time (aided by King Zora's daughter, the Princess Ruto) destroyed Barinade, Jabu-Jabu was calmed and the Zora people awarded the hero with the spiritual stone.
