Its means 'scary'. It's simple. It's not kawaii, meaning 'cute', it's 'SCARY'.
And it isn't a mispelling, either. In Japanese, they use syllables, so there's that extra 'ee' sound at the end. DEAL WITH IT. D:<

Common misspelling of "Kowai" which means scary/creepy. Most certainly caused by familiarity with words like "Kawaii" which means cute, or "Hawaii" which means Hawaii.
