Juego de maní

Peanut Game Fighting Style

The lifelong cultivation-based fighting style practiced by Maníseros land crabs in their rivalry with monk-seal kung fu.

Story so far

The land crabs are described as masters of Juego de maní, a discipline developed across years of training and humiliation by their monk-seal enemies.

The style interacts with a cultivation system of chi, inner cores, cloud ranks, and eventual heavenly advancement. Raul meditates at the battlefield edge to enrich his chi enough for a breakthrough before joining the attack.

Specific attacks are not yet revealed, but the species' level, armor, and claw strength indicate that its martial application is extremely dangerous.

Appearance
