Volaluval is the god of rivers and the sea among the Paiwan, named in the enumeration of Paiwan deities recorded by the Paiwan minister-scholar Chun-fa Masegseg Tung and reported in the survey literature on Aboriginal Taiwanese religion. He belongs to the group of nature gods that, together with the creator god and alongside the mountain god Sakina and the soil god Salamati, make up the at-least-eight gods of the traditional Paiwan pantheon. Volaluval presides over the rivers that descend from the Central Mountain Range and over the seas off the people's south-eastern coastal territories. The Pulotu cross-cultural database independently lists a river god among the leading Paiwan supernatural beings, supporting the deity's standing in the cosmology.
