神秘的獨居者

丘丘人的群落也存在著這樣一種神秘的龐然大物。它們既擁有巨大強壯的軀體，也能夠掌控元素，用以增強自身的能力——比如利用元素保護自身，或利用元素來增強戰鬥時的蠻力，使自己變得無堅不摧。

這些強大的成員被部落中其他丘丘人敬畏地尊稱為「Lawa」，根據筆者猜測，這個詞大概可以解釋為「王」或「頭領」。但事實上，似乎在丘丘人的部落中，它們並不作為頭領實行統治或帶領指揮部落進行活動，而是更喜歡獨來獨往，避開其他丘丘人敬畏與崇拜的目光。

一般冒險家很難遇見這些龐然大物。但即使經驗豐富的資深冒險家在它們可能出現的地點進行探索時，也不得不為將要面臨的風險多做斟酌。

The Mysterious Loners

Among the Hilichurls exists a kind of mysterious, large creature possessing both immense physical strength and the ability to control the elements. They use this elemental ability to further enhance their physical state, such as to protect themselves or increase the brute force of their attacks — a combination making them nearly unstoppable.

These powerful Hilichurls are called "Lawa" by the rest of the tribe, a respectful form of address best translated to mean "king" or "chief". However, Lawa don't actually rule over or lead the tribe at all. Rather, these large loners prefer solitude, avoiding the looks of reverence from the smaller Hilichurls.

Adventurers very rarely encounter these gigantic creatures. Still, even the most seasoned adventurers will think twice before going on expeditions into areas where these dangerous Lawas may be roaming.
