Ulupoka

In Polynesian mythology, Ulupoka is the god of evil and demons, prevalent in Fiji.[1] According to the tales, Ulupoka was decapitated during a battle with other gods. His head fell to the earth but, due to his divine nature, he did not die, and his head now rolls around, causing mischief, illness, and death.[2]
