Profile

Origin

In Irish folklore, the Fomorians are a race of monsters who competed with early humanity for control of Ireland. According to legend, they originated from the sea, and would rise from the waters to attack the shores of Ireland. They were defeated at Maighe Tuireadh by the Tuatha Dé Danann, at which the Fomorians were led into battle by Balor.

Following Rahu's defeat, the party can return to Coordinate 136 to find a large locked chest in the entrance, which the Pyro Jack of the HipHop Brothers wants to open. A Fomor will appear in 5F holding the Silver Key, who will drop it when killed, though the key does not open the chest.
