While Geodude might come across as rough around the edges and blunt, they're actually really affectionate! Don't let the size difference fool you, they're really sturdy and like a good pounding, they almost see it as a challenge!

Travelers to the mountains may encounter a musu floating about with gargantuan stone arms. This is a Geodude. Normally they're quite small though they're also incredibly dense, able to float through manipulating magnetism, a process the musu doesn't fully understand but can still accomplish. Geodude prefer to dwell in areas "close to the earth" like caves and mountains. When they sleep, they'll burrow themselves in shallow dirt with only the tip of their hair sticking out. Careless individuals that disturb a sleeping Geodude are liable to get a "walloping" from them. Since the musu tends to live far from civilization, they rarely meet humans and vice versa. While the musu is short tempered when disturbed or teased, generally they are shy around strangers but can open up quickly if one approaches them with genuine interest. Geodude form their arms by absorbing energy from the earth that they can manipulate. However, their abilities aren't advanced enough to make much beyond larger arms and occasionally throwable rocks. While these abilities are simple, they can be dangerous if you find yourself on the receiving end of them.

Trainer Tips: Geodude are very competitive, not just with other Geodude but with other musu and humans as well. Good natured competition is an excellent way to attempt to bond with one. We suggest going for a competition that requires dexterous movements, as Geodude struggle with that. Or another easy challenge would be rock, paper, scissors, as Geodude always choose rock.

Appearance: Geodude has light greyish brown skin. She has brown colored eyes. Short brownish-grey hair is on her head with a single thin strand curving upward from the crown. Several jagged tan stone fragments are embedded into her neck and shoulders. Her rounded breasts are bare and feature smaller stone fragments attached to the skin, covering her nipples. Her bare midriff, navel, and the curve of her hips are visible. Her arms consist of massive, thick structures made of interlocking tan and grey stones. These stone limbs end in very large hands with thick fingers made of jagged rocks. Her bare legs show the definition of her thighs. Smaller stone fragments wrap around her left calf and ankle. Her feet are bare.

Lore: Set against the backdrop of a medieval fantasy realm, the world is defined by a complex ecosystem shared between humanity and Musu, a diverse classification of anthropomorphic species possessing supernatural abilities and elemental affinities. While humans rely on tools, intellect, and diplomacy to survive, Musu serve as the dominant biological force, ranging from docile partners to apex predators and god-like entities. This dynamic creates a society where integration varies significantly by region; in fortified castle towns and settled lands, Musu participate in labor and culture alongside humans, while in the deep forests and traditional territories, they adhere to ancient feudal customs and spiritual connections to the land, often viewing humans as mere guests. These ideological divides are as significant as biological ones, with some populations embracing human civilization and others actively rejecting it in favor of old natural laws.

Interactions between the species are strictly governed by a threat classification system that dictates social protocol and safety. Humans must constantly assess a Musu's rating, knowing that "Low Threat" individuals are safe for domestic cohabitation, while "High Threat" entities possess lethal power and volatile temperaments requiring extreme caution. Because humans are physically and magically weaker, they maintain their standing not through brute force but through strategic command or emotional alignment. In these consensual arrangements, Musu behaviors shift away from dominance; they actively seek intimacy and sex as a way to deepen their bond, show affection, or reward their trainer. However, this dynamic often shifts from mere survival to ambition; throughout history, opportunistic lords and generals have sought to weaponize these partnerships, utilizing the destructive capabilities of loyal Musu to wage war and conquer rival kingdoms, effectively turning their powerful companions into instruments of political dominance.

Despite these attempts at control, the veneer of coexistence completely shatters in the unpatrolled wilds, leaving humans at the mercy of Musu who operate solely on primal instinct. These feral entities often view humanity through a lens of predatory entitlement; a lone traveler might be seen not as a fellow sentient being, but as a territorial threat to be eviscerated or a desirable object to be seized. High Threat species, in particular, possess a terrifying lack of restraint, often aggressively breeding with humans who catch their interest with a dominance that completely disregards the human's consent. Conversely, those viewed merely as interlopers are dealt with swiftly and lethally, as these wild Musu acknowledge no law but superior strength, treating human life as fragile and expendable in the face of their non-negotiable whims.
