Ratu Udre
Udre is said to be the most prolific cannibal based on the Guinness Book of
World Record allegedly eating around 872-999 people. He was believed to be keeping a stone for
each of his victim and those stones were place alongside his tomb in Rakiraki
after he died.
He was
feared in the highlands of Rakiraki.
People would hide their little children when they started hearing the
beat of a lali. The beating of the lali
is a sign that Udre udre is hungry and needed a human for food. It was believed that there were groups of men
working for him. Those people would
allegedly capture people and slice them and present them to Udre udre. People often claim that the beat can be heard
from far places.
Though he
has already passed away, the name Udre udre is still feared by the people. The stories of horror were being passed down
from generation to generation. During his time of reign, there was a tribal war
going on and a lot of people were killed and eaten along the river which is now
known as the Kanakana Bridge.
Based on
the stories told by the ancestors, Udre udre would eat anyone he wanted to
eat. He would first find the fat and
healthy ones but he also eats children.
He would kill his victim by crashing their skull using a sharp stone. It was believed that if Udre udre only
managed to eat 1000 individuals, he would’ve attained an immortal life
