架空の地底世界“Subterranean”の最も暗い場所、古い文明の痕跡が残る“回廊”に生息する象。体表に青く光る光苔を付着させている。常に同じ方向に“回廊”をゆっくりと回っていく様は修験者のようでもある。

This elephant lives in the darkest depths of the imaginary underground world of “Subterranean” and is found within a “corridor” where traces of an ancient civilization remain. Its body gives off a blue glow generated by luminous moss. It endlessly circles the walls of the “corridor,” always moving in the same direction, as if engaged in some ascetic practice.
