description
Jumaga is the third and youngest of the "Three Great Beasts" of Obojima-Though its reputation is considerably less prestigious than that of its counterparts. Most would consider Jumaga to be the most reckless and unpredictable of the islands chosen three, a sentiment supported by Jumaga's actions. In the Age of Dara alone, Jumaga has caused many disasters, from avalanches to tsunamis, and forest fires alike—each incident painting Jumaga differently. At one point, Jumaga was even seen entangled in a brawl with the Hunter, a fight which lasted several days. Still, the Great Beast has garnered the respect of the Islanders. Unlike the Sky King or the Hunter, Jumaga calls a portion of the island its domain. It is here that the locals have found a symbiotic relationship with Jumaga, and in doing so, shown a new side to the Great Beast.
The Last Century: In the last 100 years, Jumaga has seemingly satiated its reckless and wild desires, its bestial actions now seen by islanders as almost ceremonial. Its domain has also become a sight in which islanders pay respect, leaving behind at the ledge of offering valuables, which they hope will please the great beast, and hide their cattle from Jumaga's view.
