Why this matters

Elbaf’s whole ethos is pride/courage over fear; a transformation that feeds on “personal demons” sets up the giants (or their heroes — Jarul, Dorry & Brogy, Loki) overcoming it through willpower. The Kirin/“nightmare” motif of the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Kirin reinforces a dream-logic cure. See Killingham, Holy Knights, Nightmare Hole.
