==Summary==
Dark Gaia is the primary villain in Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma. Taking the form of a Chaos Comet that corrupts the planet in the former, and a scheming god in the latter, it represents darkness and destruction. Linked to its opposite, Light Gaia, the two together lock the world in a repeating loop of life and death, with Dark Gaia often bringing forth the end of humanity, only for it to be eventually resurrected.
