Traits

Read from the figure's description, which a model wrote. Open "why" for the sentence a trait came from.

Form

Colossal terrain shaping giant
why
The story is about a boast being tested against something that simply does not move, and the seismic vocabulary is doing the descriptive work: two mountains arguing is an earthquake, and the tale is in part an account of what one feels like.

Defensive powers

Superhuman endurance
why
On the day the two of them tower up and size each other over, the signal is given, and Sungkulangit strikes Kinabalu with all its might until the whole land shakes with the impact — and Kinabalu stands up under it, unmoved.

Roles
