I've been trying to nail down a character design for this guy for a while now. I didn't know if I wanted to go raw earth or natural, plant-themed, or even what species to commit to. With eda's blessing to base my idea roughly around his hunk Jasker, I went ahead and made this elk colossus.

Lord Dannik, among the oldest Primarchs, maintained a tense but meaningful relationship with Gaius prior to the Rebellion, instructing him in the legacy of his kind, the khoran, and of the greater purpose of the Golden Ones, the only mortals to whom they held fealty.

When the Boundless Rebellion ignited, Gaius was nowhere to be seen, having vanished somewhere between the sands of what is now Galilee...but massive footprints in the desert attest that the colossus waits for some unknown reason. The earth, after all, is a patient thing...
