Profile
Named for the giants in The Odyssey, Laistrygon is an amoral, capricious being who often towers over the humans he might just ... snack on.
As of current lore, he has many magical powers at his disposal, including but not limited to: teleportation (using Enigma Beast as a void portal to step into), levitation, size-shifting, shape-shifting, elemental magic, telekinesis, etc. He is also currently, however, limited to only being able to come out at night (he is unable to enter where sunlight hits so he can only navigate through shadows), and he has moonlight based powers such as being able to see all that is cast in moonlight, phasing through matter and becoming invisible (latter of which can falter if the sky is cloudy, and it takes a lot of energy to clear the sky of clouds).
Laistrygon is also a proficient alchemist, conducting a variety of experiments which includes trying to create life in the form of homunculi. Paramirum/Antiphates is one of his creations.
His main base of operations is on the far side of the moon. His raven familiars inform him of pertinent information on Earth.
META
This character goes way back. I originally dreamt of him, with exact timeline being fuzzy, somewhere in 1999-2001 because I remember certain details very vividly (like sleeping in a loft bed which I no longer had in 2002), loosely inspired by a character from a comic I read; in the dream he was a giant man in old-fashioned clothes descending upon a small town (sealed by a glass dome?) and catching people into a jar or a pouch, I can't remember. and later an illustration would show him cooking something in a kettle, heavily implied to be the fate of the humans he collected.
First time I drew him was in 2006, but it wasn't there yet. 2007 is when I drew him digitally for the first time.
So, yeah, he's craaaazy old. And still captures my imagination.
