Goron Portraits
Added 2024-07-06 21:00:03 +0000 UTCI thought I'd make a "rock hard" joke, but I'll spare you this time.
Only this time...
Honestly, as of today I think this is the best Goron I've ever drawn. He looks so friendly and handsome, and... okay, fine, it's the belly. You've got me.
This one also has a little bonus portrait - one with more body hair! I admit I'm not entirely sold on body hair for Gorons, but this looks decent enough... What do you think?
Also, I should mention: Those "Hero Tunic" pictures are just me messing around and trying stuff! But who knows...
Extra lore~
It's not well understood where exactly Gorons come from, even to them! They're a rather oblivious kind - new Gorons just seem to turn up from nowhere, completely lost as though they had amnesia.
There's several theories that try to explain their origins... Some point to them being magical creatures - spirits that inhabit rocks. Other theories point to Gorons somehow impregnating the earth itself when they... relieve themselves in the most intimate confines of Death Mountain. Then, the mountain itself releases an almost fully-formed Goron, who knows how long after.
What do you think?
What IS known is that Gorons eat special rocks to enlarge their bodies. Being a species with rather few needs and desires, most Gorons will just loaf around and wander in the mountains alone, humming to themselves. They do enjoy talking and relaxing - sometimes even cuddling - usually while lounging in hot spring water (which helps keep their rocky skin smooth).
Some Gorons are more sporting, however... They're known to be fierce fighters due to their powerful bodies, and they've made formidable gladiators over the ages.
Comments
Yeah! They at least LOOK male, and there doesn't seem to be Goron females... So the theory that the mountain is their "female" kind of holds up. I'd sure they still enjoy each other's company! Gorons are laid back, but they're still very social. They have a culture, a hierarchy... They value their appearance, they groom each other... When you've got all that, love is just a step away!

Heck, maybe it became a fashion line after Link rolled through town. ; P In a lot of canons Gorons are only "male" too, right? I wonder where they do come from, (And I wonder if they can at least get up to some exciting fun regardless of how more are made~)
