Azurda

Azurda is a supporting character in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and Torna ~ The Golden Country. He is referred to as Gramps by Rex and Nia, and as Nuncle  by Addam.

Appearance and personality
Azurda is a small Titan, only a couple dozen metres long, that resembles a European dragon. He is mostly composed of rock, with grass across his back and long neck, and has several fins and a horn on his head. In his larval form, Azurda takes the form of a tiny white furred dragon with a single horn with a blue core on his chest, pink stubby wings, and ears of the same color.

Azurda acts as a parental figure to Rex, looking out for him and admonishing him when he makes mistakes.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Azurda is the home of Rex, a salvager who makes money by selling things he fetches out of the Cloud Sea. He acts as Rex's guardian and ferry, with the story opening with him taking Rex to the Argentum Trade Guild to sell his wares. Rex then runs off on a job he knows little about, leaving Azurda docked and upset at the kid's shortsightedness. He catches up with Rex as he is fighting Malos on the Ancient Ship, and fights off a mysterious black ship long enough to help him, Pyra, Nia, and Dromarch escape. However, he is badly wounded, and crashes on Gormott.

Rex cries as Azurda's body fades away, but he reappears in a larval form, a tiny white dragon. From there, he sits in Rex's diving helmet and acts as guide on his adventure.

During the finale of the game, Pneuma revert Azurda to his titan form, and he flies Rex and the party away from the crumbling World Tree.

Azurda is seen in a photo alongside the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 party as Aionios splits back into the worlds of Bionis and Alrest.

 * He otherwise resorts to treasure hunting, though it lands him in trouble, as shown during Azurda SOS.
 * One of the gifts he gave to one of his past girlfriend appears to have been a mountain of meat and fish, as hinted in one of the Viridian Gate's auto dialogue.
