MEANING
In Japanese folklore, the tsuchinoko is a snake-like being. The name tsuchinoko is prevalent in Western Japan, including Kansai and Shikoku; the creature is known as bachi hebi in Northeastern Japan. Tsuchinoko are described as being between 30 and 80 centimetres (12 and 31 inches) in length, similar in appearance to a snake, but with a central girth that is much wider than its head or tail, and as having fangs and venom similar to that of a viper. Legend has it they not only have a taste for alcohol, but that they can grasp their tail in their teeth and roll away like a wheel on steep hills. In modern day Japan, sometimes you may see a "reward" for finding this creature- and they are considered lucky in some areas as a result
ABOUT
Ham (short for Hammer) maybe tries to be intimidating sometimes, but they usually just end up being silly and cute. They'd rather be intimidating, scary and cool like their bro Ouroboros, who has an even cooler nickname "Devourer", but that is just a wish for the future. For now, Ham can just do bleps ;p
MAGIC/WISDOM
TIER 1 MAGIC ABILITY: This Paralogos can roll their body up like a wheel using its tapered tail to "roll" as a form of movement.
