Dazuma

Dazuma is one of several ancient creatures, possibly the original inhabitants of Dark.

Appearance
Dazuma, or rather what remains of Dazuma, is a gigantic and ancient cadaver, hundreds of times larger than the Moja. Dazuma appears as a humanoid corpse missing almost all his skin, seemingly armless and headless as well as being disemboweled. Most of his flesh has decomposed to the point it looks and feels like stone, but his brain remains alive, still connected to the spine.

Personality
Nothing is shown of Dazuma’s personality.

History
Dazuma is one of the ancient inhabitants of Dark, but who died or became incapacitated eons ago, becoming this stone-like corpse after years floating through the void. Despite this Dazuma’s brain remains alive and active, able to react to the presence of others. Dazuma’s origin, as well as the nature of his species, are unknown.

Years ago, Dazuma was discovered by Shimada, who utilizes his still-living brain to enter other people’s mental worlds. According to Shimada, he is the only one who knows about Dazuma and his kind.

In the present, Shimada brought Damemaru to Dazuma in order to turn him back from a Shadow.

Abilities
Shimada says Dazuma and his kind possessed immense power, comparable to his own, but seem to be unable or unwilling to move or act on their own.

Mental World Invasion: If a living creature is brought on to Dazuma’s brain, nerves will coil around them and connect to their mind, whereupon other’s may enter Dazuma’s brain through a cavity and enter the creature’s mental world to search for information. Only living creatures with souls can enter these mental worlds, Robos cannot. A creature’s mental world appears a void of pure emotion manifested physically, such as anxiety causing the world to shake.
