Qasavara is a spirit from Melanesian mythology, more precisely from the Banks Islands in the northern part of Vanuatu.
In the Mota version of the myth, Qat, the Great Spirit who made everything, and his twelve brothers were invited to spend the night in the house of a giant named Qasavara.
Qat caused the tree to grow so long that when it bent over, the tip touched a neighboring island.
The brothers jumped off and the tree, released from the extra weight, sprang back, throwing Qasavara high into the sky.
Another lesser-known version portrays Qasavara as the gatherer of the spirits of the damned, who he then feeds to mythical monsters.
