Question

Note to players: this tossup clues things that are not strictly the same, but one is named for the other and they are colloquially grouped together. For example, the grouping of goats and mountain goats even though mountain goats are not the same genus. The sailor Antonio Pigafetta alleged that these objects originated from the habitat of Garuda birds large enough to grab buffalos or elephants. Adolf Jensen’s sacrificial dema deity is exemplified in the Moluccan story of Hainuwele, who emerged from one of these objects. Some of these objects originate from things that inspired “Chinese” Gordon to associate one island with the Garden of Eden. A blanket-shrouded Iberian bogeyman illustrated by Goya in Los Caprichos may have lent its name to these objects. The originators of some of these objects allegedly grew underwater and mated with each other during stormy nights on the (*) Seychelles. These objects share their name with buttock-shaped, allegedly aphrodisiac nuts and were created (-5[1])after Te Tuna was defeated in a battle (-5[1])for Hina’s affections. For 10 points, a tree producing what fruit grew after (10[1])Maui planted an eel’s head? ■END■ (0[1])
