Jesus overcoming Satan with love,
or Beowulf battling Grendel with honor?

【Humbaba/フンババ】
砂礫のような質感をした分厚い皮膚に覆われ、背中から無数の棘が生えた山のような体格の大型魔物。
水辺に生息する哺乳類が魔物化したもので、圧倒的な体格を支えるべく、泥に含まれる有機物を選り好みせず食べるようになった。
背中は大量の泥に覆われているが、幾度も乾燥と蓄積を繰り返したことで分厚い鎧のように変化しており、その破片は人を殺める凶器でもある。
背中の棘は極めて固く殺傷能力に優れ、質の悪い鎧であれば人体ごと容易に貫いてしまう。
一挙手一投足が致命的な威力を誇るため、無理な討伐は厳禁である。
