Cultural myths from a time past live on in today’s world.

Vanuatu is a series of isolated tropical islands inhabited by a people
who have passed down stories and tradition in oral form for many
generations, keeping alive their traditions and culture.

On the island of Ambrym there is a large rock, named Pouviaserole. The
locals say it was a monster that once was the guardian of the sacred
Olal Bay. According to tradition Pouviaserole, or Guardian, was a huge beast with
the appearance of something between a savage dog and a wild boar. In
the middle of its head there was a large horn.
