Jasy Jatere or Jasi Jatere is the name of an important figure in Guarani mythology. One of the seven cursed children of Tau and Kerana.
Jasi Jater, which literally means "a small piece of the moon", is unique among his brothers in that he does not have a monstrous appearance.
He is usually described as a small man or possibly a child, with blond hair and sometimes blue eyes. He is handsome in appearance, sometimes even described as handsome or charming, and carries a magic wand or staff, sometimes described as a golden cane, although what clothes he wears, if at all, does not seem to be an important part of the legend.
Like most of his brothers, he lives in the wild and is considered a protector of the mate plant. Sometimes he is also considered the protector of hidden treasures.
It is said that the power of Jasi Jater stems from the magic staff he carries, and if someone can take it away from him, he cries like a little child.
