Order Giant
Classification Humanoid
Family Massive Giant

Description Daidarabotchis stand 36' tall. They appear to be mountains when they sleep.
Procreation No mixed nations offspring are possible even with other giants, and procreation is very rare.
Esoterica Daidarabotchis are beings of love resonance, dumaqu, and mijjit. They practice the arts of these energies as well as various forms of radiance (especially euphony), yahas, light of truth and light of innocence, iremia, curacion, banaru, emotional resonance, mashoaab, qi, soul, fortune, poioumenon, earthpower and winds aether, and seasonal aether.
Body The energies of love resonance, dumaqu, and mijjit make daidarabotchis supernaturally attractive, large, strong, resistant to weather, and regenerative. They heal faster than other beings. They do not experience senescence until the age of 80. They practice the art of taberu, a mix of diet and exercise, which can alter their bodies. This involves walking 200 miles every week (usually through the oceans), eating 100 lbs. of shellfish every day, and lifting a mountain once a month. Common alterations include rocky skin, mossy skin, and jeweled skin.
Farming Every daidarabotchi farm is a work of love. They have massive beds of clams and other shellfish along the coasts, which they tend from the mountain homes. They come down each day to gather their giant livestock. They pile used shells on hills to create new mountains. They sleep outdoors, appearing to be an extra mountain, and they do not keep buildings. Instead, they use their size to create lakes, rivers, and hills as part of their homes.
Special Powers Alongside all aforementioned powers of size, strength, beauty, longevity, health, resistance to bad weather, bodily alteration, shellfish farming, and landscaping, daidarabotchis have mild empathy, long distance vision (seeing up to 40 miles), and an inability to become angry. They can sacrifice themselves by pulling out their own jeweled hearts to save their communities in times of scarcity.
Weaknesses Hate resonance and feirua can harm them.
Culture Daidarabotchis are mostly isolated giants. Because of their size, they are few, and when they get together, they tend to make the land around them suffer. Because of this, they meet up in small groups only a few times throughout their slightly longer lives. They love the land around them and the world itself, though, and they often spend time communing with it. When they do meet other daidarabotchis, it is cause for celebration, a feast known as yujo. This usually ends in copulation, no matter the genders, and sometimes in reproduction. The parent of a daidarabotchi raises their child alone, and when the child reaches their final growth spurt at the age of 14 (if one does not occur, they engage in taberu until it does), they are sent off on their own. Because of their size, they rarely have problems surviving on their own, and because of their kindness and sharing, communities often welcome them.
