Shiva

**Shiva** is the client and the resident of the Stone Land in the Mystic Islands of the titular game.

He is the Destruction Deity, who shares a similar title and powers with Meowlin but on a lesser scale, who can not seem to control his powers of destruction as great as the latter is able to.

As of the end of his chapter, he formally resigns his position as the Destruction Deity.
