The Earth Spirit, also known as the Spirit of the Land, is a character and boss monster in Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past.
Appearance and personality[edit]
The Earth Spirit has the appearance of a muscular Golem-like creature composed completely out of earthen materials, but with more intricate and expressive details than those of the common clods. Most of His body appears to be comprised of boulders and He wears stone rings on His wrists and ankles, although given His structure these may simply be part of His body. The Earth Spirit also has holes throughout His body that show geode-like material underneath, and possesses gold markings on both His forehead and His upper arms. He has a squat face with plain features and purple eyes. In the 3DS remake of VII, the Earth Spirit has received a redesign that gives Him the appearance of being made of bricks, with His forearms and calves being covered by two sets of metal bands, His upper arms having gold torcs, the geode-like openings being replaced with glowing magma, and His face has been altered.
When summoned forth, the Earth Spirit demonstrates a more reserved demeanor than any of His siblings. He is slow to act, befitting His nature, but lends His aid to the party and the people of Al-Balad once upon realizing the dire nature of the world's circumstances.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]
The Earth Spirit makes his dwelling in the desert of Al-Balad, as it is the region with the most of His element. He is known as the Spirit of the Land to the people of Al-Balad, where He is an important spiritual figure that represents every stone and grain of sand in the Earth. The Likeness is a sphinx that had been constructed in His honor, at least until the Demon King forced the people of Al-Balad to rebuild it so that it would represent the fiend's own twisted visage instead. The ritual used to summon the Spirit of the Land involves drawing His image into the sand at the Oasis. After the Fire Spirit is reawakened, the party heads back to the land of Al-Balad in order to awaken the Earth Spirit as well, as it is necessary to awaken the power of all Four Great Spirits in order to unseal the islands from darkness.
