Azurda (セイリュウ) is a character in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Often referred to as Gramps (じっちゃん) By Rex and other characters, he is a small Titan that serves as both Rex's guardian, as well as his home.
Origin
Azurda is a Titan, one of several that were born from the womb of Torna approximately 800 years before the events of Torna ~ The Golden Country. Originally conceived as Blades, the titans somehow gained autonomy and now roam the Cloud Sea freely. Not much else is known about Azurda's early life, though he is friends with Jin and Ornelia. He also has a close relationship with Addam, who refers to him as "Nuncle." Azurda fought alongside the main party during much of the Aegis War, including attempting to defend the city of Auresco against Malos. After the war, Addam entrusted Azurda with protecting Fonsett Village.
About 500 years later, Azurda agrees to let Rex, who refers to him as "Gramps," live on his back while they travel around and take on salvaging jobs. One of these jobs resulted in Rex accidentally acquiring the Aegis, and Azurda helps him escape pursuit, but is severely injured in the process. As a last resort to stay alive, Azurda reverts to his larval state. Now small enough to fit in the many compartments on Rex's clothes, Azurda follows the party to help in quests and battles.
One of these quests involves the third Aegis sword, which Azurda knows the location to and can help the party get to by being the guardian of Fonsett Village. After the final battle, Pneuma turns Azurda back into his titan form so he can carry the party to safety.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
As a stage element
