Gaiyanad is a dual-Type Rock/Grass-Type legendary Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with Vulkantaur, Pokoraidon and Garudaeol, Gaiyanad is a member of the Elemental quartet, representing earth.

Physiology
Gaiyanad is an extremely tall Pokemon with a feminine humanoid body made entirely out of brown stone, which, while rugged, still has visible curves to it. Its chest is covered in what appears to be either plant life or moss, being of various shades of green that appears to be plaid, resembling a midriff-baring shirt of some sort. Its pelvis is covered by black wood, resembling short shorts, and some of the wood stretches into the plant life on its body and straps around, resembling suspenders of sorts. Gaiyanad's face is noticeably feminine yet sharp-eyed, with bright green eyes and long dark green hair made of moss, having what appears to be a cap made of black wood on its head. Its feet are covered in black wood boots that go halfway to the knee. Gaiyanad's right arm is a bright green from the fingertips to the elbow. It always carries a huge axe with a black handle and a sharp blade made of the same brown rocks as its body.

Special abilities
Gaiyanad's axe is imbued with its earth powers, which it can use for a powerful slam attack that can split a rock formation. Its stone body can protect it from various threats, and its green hand can cause plant life to grow.

Behavior
During the early days of the planet's existence, Gaiyanad shaped the world's landmasses and boundaries alongside the other three Elements, using its axe to carve formations into Groudon's continents, and using its green hand to grow plant life. When the world was in sync with the elements, Gaiyanad recused itself within the depths of an immense mountain, surrounded by crystals.

Habitat
Gaiyanad lies within the Earth Altar located in the Jadeep Underground, which in itself is located in the depths of the Crystal Caverns.

Origin
Gaiyanad is based on an elemental spirit of earth. Its feminine appearance and status as an earth elemental reference Gaia, the female personification of the Earth, AKA "Mother Earth". Its clothing clearly takes cues from lumberjacks, its extremely tall height lending some reference to the tall tales of Paul Bunyan. The Grass-Type and ability to work with trees also brings to mind dryads (tree nymphs).

Name origin
Gaiyanad comes from "Gaia", "Paul Bunyan", and "dryad".
