A Galdr
Galdr (Japanese: ガルドラ, Garudora) are a type of Ganglion Skells in Xenoblade Chronicles X. They can transform between a humanoid state and a bird-like cruise state. Galdr can be found inactive in cruise mode, but some are just dormant and will attack if approached. They can be found in all five regions, but are most common in Ganglion-controlled regions like Sylvalum and Cauldros.
Description[]
"Manned, air-based units with transformative capabilities. Though colossal in size, these Skells can achieve incredibly high speeds while in cruise mode. While mobility is sacrificed when shifting to Skell mode, the boost in firepower more than makes up for it, as it permits deployment of four primary weapons--the piercing beam, tornado claw, titan missile, and creed revolver. Though each of these armaments differ conceptually, their shared modular nature make the Galdr series a highly versatile one."
Color Variants[]
Galdr come in five colors, and are equipped with one of four types of weapon pods:
- Red Galdr wield the Piercing Beam weapon. Tyrants can drop R.B. Units.
- Gold Galdr wield the Tornado Claw weapon. Tyrants can drop T.P. Units.
- Blue Galdr wield the Titan Missile weapon. Tyrants can drop S.P. Units.
- Green Galdr wield the Creed Revolver weapon and can drop E.M. Units.
- Black Galdr can be equipped with any of the above four weapon pods, and can drop O.X. Units.
The Piercing Beam and Tornado Claw come with battle arts of the same names. The Titan Missile weapon allows use of the RFB Missile art, and the Creed Revolver allows use of the Underhander art.
