Karaku, The Volcano God

Current Events

Karaku the volcano god is a colossal beast worshiped as a god in the Atlantean safe haven dimension of Pacifica where Atlanna rules. He rests inside a volcano but when he stands up he is taller than that. Beside him rest multiple Fire Trolls that seem to obey him.

Atlanna keeps Karaku at bay by using the Staff of Storms and offering him sacrifices periodically.

After Aquaman and Mera are captured by Atlanna’s army she tries to make a sacrifice of Aquaman and Mera but they escape. Karaku is angered and awakens shaking the entire island they are on.
