Zunesha

Zunisha is an enormous elephant that wanders the New World and carries the island of Zou on his back.

Appearance
It has the appearance of a regular elephant, but with a massive size comparable to an island.

Personality
It does not seem to mind carrying a civilization on its back, although due to its massive size it may not know it exists.

Relationships
It has instigated a symbiotic relationship with the Mink Tribe and the island of Zou. At least a couple of times a day it showers itself with seawater. This, from the perspective of the inhabitants, is equal to a flood. However, since this way they can also acquire fish for food, it's considered a blessing by the Minks.

Abilities and Powers
It can carry a whole island on its back and walk in the New World sea. It has a great longevity.

Past
For about a millennium it has wandered the sea of the New World and he has lived for centuries alongside the Mink Tribe and the other lifeforms on Zou.

Trivia

 * Zunisha is the oldest living creature introduced in the series, its lifetime predating even the Void Century.
 * Given the fact that Zunisha can stand in the middle of the sea, it is highly probable his design was also based on the painting The Elephants by the surrealist painter Salvador Dalí, The Elephants are notorious for being quite gigantic elephants with buildings on their back and extremely long legs similar to those of the animals seen on the Long Ring Long Land.
 * The kanji 象主 means "elephant lord".
