Goliath

* Portrait
* Close Up

Goliath is an extremely powerful and dangerous monster that takes part in the Battle of Diamonds. It is the largest monster seen in the game so far and is intelligent, fully communicative in human language, and quite likely very old since it recognized the MC's Arbiter Form - calling it "Prophet".

## Background

Goliath at first only seen as a very large, red-eyed, shadowed face talking to Ella. He was kept alongside the captive Valravn beneath the Diamond Mountain Range by Ella Vulpe. It isn't entirely clear whether he was there against his will but he seemed to obey Ella's wishes without any visible inducement. His breath was the reason the air in the Garza Mines in the Diamond Mountain Range was deadly to humans.

### Battle of Diamonds

Goliath offers to stop Alexis Allaband's rampage across the battlefield. When Ella agrees, he dramatically rises from the beneath the mountains, causing an earthquake that devastates the assembled combatants. Two M17: Himavats awaken alongside him and they advance on Alexis. The fight between them largely turns into a stalemate, with Alexis being much too fast for Goliath to catch and Goliath being much too durable for Alexis's iron to damage. This stalemate ends when Malik Drexel is able to break out of the massed Strength Eater and Undine trap set for him and severely damages Goliath with his "Burning Tower" ability. The enormous explosion thoroughly burns through Goliath's dense skin, allowing Alexis to renew her assault. Goliath was teleported away by Hex when it decided to collapse the dimension and evacuate after Ella's death at the hands of Nyx Elis.

### Twins Arc

Should the MC choose to go exploring with Rina Mori during the S.I.N initiation infiltration, they both get a opporunity to go onto the roof of the manor and get a view of a large part of Hex's dimension. They are able to see Goliath sitting in the middle of the ruined city, seemingly half buried and asleep. Rina is terrified, both of Goliath's sheer size and the power emanating from him.

Later, when Nicolette Heart engages Eisheth after invading the dimension to evacuate the MC, Goliath awakens upon sensing the intrusion. A single roar and movement from him cause an earthquake that shakes the entire mansion, but Nico and the MC are able to escape before he arrives.

## Powers and Abilities

Other than his poisonous breath, Goliath has not displayed any specific supernatural powers. However it should be noted that a living being of his size is simply not possible without supernatural influence. At current estimates, Goliath is almost 6 kilometers tall and 3 kilometers wide. Goliath's incredible size means that he's functionally immune to most kinds of damage whether physical or supernatural. Even the Level 5 Alexis Allaband - was unable to hurt him in any meaningful way. His size also means that even his smallest physical actions - like walking - can cause massive damage. His punches hit with the force of nuclear explosions - crushing an already very durable M17: Himavat in a single hit.

## Trivia

* To put Goliath's size into perspective, he is estimated to be twice the size of the Citadel in Half Life 2 or 7 Burj Khalifa Towers stacked end to end.
* Goliath's name comes from the famous biblical story of David and Goliath.
* Eisheth expressed surprise when she learned that Kira Kelsey is a spawn of Goliath presumably because he never took any other person as a spawn before.
