In JoJolion, readers are introduced to a new race known as Rock Humans. Unlike most carbon-based creatures, they are creatures whose bodies are made of silicon.
Rock Humans are very similar in appearance and come in both genders: male and female. However, they have harsh backgrounds, distinct lifestyles, and unique abilities.
In this video, we'll discuss Rock Humans in more detail. Read this article until the end to ensure you don't miss any information!
A Portrait of Their Life
As living creatures, Rock Humans have the ability to reproduce and multiply their offspring. Rock Humans are described as giving birth in spring and summer and carrying their fetuses for six months.
At birth, a Rock Human baby is as small as an insect, measuring 28 millimeters long and weighing only 15 grams. Ironically, the baby Rock Human is immediately thrown by its mother deep in the forest, where it is placed among the roots of a dead tree.
Normally, they would die immediately due to lack of nutrition or being attacked by wild animals like snakes and the like. However, strangely, it's insects that are the first to approach the Rock Human babies.
One insect that is attracted to the Rock Human babies is bees. Upon discovering a Rock Human baby, the bees will attempt to attack it with their stingers. However, the Rock Human babies have instinctive survival instincts that allow them to survive.
The baby will cling to the bee, treating it like a mother, providing warmth. The bees will then carry the baby to their nest.
There, the Rock Human babies will target the queen bee and attempt to enter her body. They will then learn the laws of nature, the flow of time, the concept of numbers, and how to survive in a group naturally.
The Rock Human babies will wait 17 years until they venture out into the outside world as adults. They can then blend in with humans and group with other Rock Humans to their advantage.
Uniquely, Rock Human relationships are described as based on "give and take," so there are no feelings of love or friendship between them. Despite this, Rock Humans appear to demonstrate strong bonds and mutual support.
Rock Humans can live in the open and eat a variety of foods, such as plants, fruit, nuts, and the like. However, their favorite food is honey. Furthermore, they are described as having an allergy to mango.
Rock Humans can also adapt and survive various weather changes. They particularly favor rocky areas, considering them their true home.
Unfortunately, human civilization has made it impossible for Rock Humans to remain in nature indefinitely. Like it or not, they must adapt and adopt human ways of life, such as living in houses or buildings.
Rock Humans also have the habit of periodically hibernating. They transform into stone and sleep for long periods of time, ranging from thirty to ninety days. However, when they awaken, they can remain awake for up to two months.
They also uniquely choose specific places to hibernate, such as temples, gardens with statues, or under maple trees, and avoid areas prone to flooding or bird droppings.
Because they require a long period of hibernation, they cannot attend school or choose regular jobs like most people. They choose jobs that are more flexible and not tied to their schedules.
Another unique fact about Rock Humans is that they rarely fall in love with humans. If they do, their relationships are likely to lead to disaster and tragedy.
Furthermore, Rock Humans are said to have long lifespans of up to 240 years. However, their end is quite tragic. When they die, their bodies disintegrate into stone fragments.
Rock Human Powers
When we talk about Rock Humans, their main power is, of course, the ability to transform themselves into stone at will. This ability is very useful for camouflage purposes, allowing them to deceive or trick others.
Furthermore, almost all Rock Humans appearing in the JoJolion series are Stand users. The reason they can awaken Stands is likely because they live in mystical places, such as Devil's Palm and the Wall Eyes in Morioh City.
Most Rock Humans possess Stands with terrifying powers, especially Toru, whose Wonder of U power can bring disaster to his targeted enemies.
Their Role in JoJolion
Rock Humans in JoJolion play the role of antagonists. They are interested in researching the Rokakaka fruit, which possesses the power of equivalent exchange, seeking both money and power.
Some of them form a criminal organization led by Tamaki Damo. They smuggle the Rokakaka fruit and sell it to certain individuals at exorbitant prices.
In addition to using it as a commercial commodity, they also research the properties of the Rokakaka fruit at TG University Hospital under Toru's leadership. The fruit is believed to bring about significant changes for Rock Humans.
However, they are all ultimately eliminated one by one in various moments and fierce battles.
