Sylooth

Sylooth (Japanese: シルース, Shirūsu) are Humanoid enemies in Xenoblade Chronicles X. They are bipedal giants that seem both vegetal and fungal. They are not present in Cauldros but a similar species, Gularth, exclusively dwells in this volcanic region.

Description[]

"Giant, two-legged beasts that thrive in woodland areas. Though relatively intelligent, they are not capable of speech. They live on photosynthetic energy derived from certain symbiotic trees, but can also absorb ether while respiring. Young or injured Sylooth may also consume fruits and leaves for supplemental strength.

Sylooth often band together in small groups for mutual protection, warding off stronger foes with sheer numbers. They have also been observed protecting the birds and insects that take up residence in the trees on their backs."

Appendages[]

If any type of appendage is destroyed, (including their legs), there is a chance to receive a certain variation of Sylooth Braces.

Destroying their back or hip can also yield Quality Giant Cells.
Destroying their weak point can also yield Sylooth Tonic Water.

Color Variants[]

Sylooth fall into four color variants:

Green sylooth have green foliage and white spheres with gold spots. They are only found in Noctilum, and can drop Blue Sylooth Braces.
White sylooth have grey foliage and metallic grey spheres with green spots. They are only found in Sylvalum, and can drop White Sylooth Braces.
Brown sylooth have greenish brown foliage and dark grey spheres with red spots. They are only found in Oblivia, and can drop Black Sylooth Braces.
Pyotr, the Shepherd is the only Gold sylooth. He has golden-brown foliage, red-leaved trees, and white spheres with gold spots. He is found in Noctilum and can drop Gold Sylooth Braces.

Trivia[]

While fighting normal minor Sylooth, the battle themes "The Key We've Lost" or "z29ba2t0t1l301e17" play instead of "Black Tar," though they are not associated with the Ganglion but are Humanoids. This trait is shared with Gularth.
