Esperia was filled with fascinating creatures, and the Earth element was home to several species that lived only within its unique wilderness.

In the mountains from which the rivers of the land flowed, the Golems blended in with the rocks overlooking majestic valleys. The Golems came in many different sizes and possessed the ability to merge with stone, changing the appearance of their bodies to adapt to their needs.

Despite their gigantic appearance, they lived in perfect harmony with the other creatures. It was not uncommon to see them using their own stone bodies to help small animals cross rivers or to shelter homes from the rain.

    Cha Cha, our dear little platypus who thought of himself as a philosopher, reflected on the difficulty of finding a balance between indulgence and strictness toward oneself.
