Behavior & Notes

  • Wakes once a century, carrying an ecosystem on its back; movement reshapes terrain.
  • Slow but unstoppable when roused; crushing path and causing localized quakes.
  • Harbors flora/fauna that may defend it; shell terrain can be explored when dormant.
  • Weakness: calming/grounding rites may lull it; targeted strikes at limb joints to divert its path.

Open questions / conflicts

  • Where does it roam (independent realms vs. continental coasts)?
  • Is its awakening tied to Eclipse echoes or environmental imbalance?
  • Can it be redirected rather than slain, preserving the micro-biome on its shell?
