The totokia (also pineapple club or beaked battle hammer) is a type of club or battlehammer from Fiji. The totokia was called the "pineapple club" because of the spiked ball behind the weapon's beak. The name is a misnomer; the shape actually is modeled after that of the fruit of the pandanus. The spike ("beak") and head of the weapon were used to puncture the skull of the enemy and crush the head. In addition to its functional use as a weapon of war, totokia were also status symbols.

- La Totokia est une massue de guerre d'origine fidjienne. Elle est également connue sous le nom de massue ananas en raison de la ressemblance de sa tête avec ce fruit — bien que le pandanus en soit probablement le véritable modèle.Elle est l'une des variétés des nombreux casse-têtes et massues utilisés par les peuples mélanésiens et polynésiens.

- La totokia es una maza o martillo de guerra de Fiji. La totokia era llamada "maza de piña" debido a la bola con púas detrás del pico del arma. El nombre es incorrecto; la forma en realidad está modelada según la del fruto del pandanus. El pico y la cabeza del arma se usaron para perforar el cráneo y aplastar la cabeza del enemigo. Además de su uso funcional como arma de guerra, la totokia era también un símbolo de estatus. El arma es construida con madera dura. Las armas llevadas por los tusken de Tatooine, en la Guerra de las Galaxias de George Lucas, fueron inspiradas por la totokia. (es)

Totokia are held in the collections of several museums, including the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, the Auckland Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Peabody Essex Museum of Salem, Massachusetts, the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology of the University of Cambridge, the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas, and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. African and oceanic art expert Bruno Claessens writes that the weapons carried by the Tusken Raiders of Tatooine in George Lucas' Star Wars were inspired by the totokia. (en)
