The Piasa emerged from the ancient limestone cliffs of the Great Plains during a time when the Thunderbird first claimed dominion over the skies. These fearsome creatures carved their domains into the rocky plateaus, establishing themselves as guardians of the earth's most sacred secrets. Their existence became known through elaborate pictographs left by ancient tribes who both feared and respected their power.

The Plateau Piasa possesses the ability to merge with rock formations, becoming one with the earth itself. They can manipulate the terrain around them, creating natural barriers and revealing hidden pathways. Their connection to the land grants them incredible physical strength and the ability to sense disturbances in the earth's energy.

The Plateau Piasa serves as a bridge between the physical world and the ancient spirits of the land, guiding worthy seekers to hidden knowledge while testing their resolve through trials of physical endurance. They work in harmony with the Earthbound Guardians to preserve the balance between progress and tradition.
