| abstract | - The Yawning Giant is an area in Xenoblade Chronicles X. It is located in western Oblivia. This vast chasm effectively has no bottom, and falling into it has the same effect as death, and Skells that fall in will also be destroyed. This effect does not occur when flying; skells will be stopped at an exact distance into the chasm, making it much safer to explore as long as the Flight Module is always in operation. A small floating island in the centre of the Yawning Giant houses FN Site 304, a cave in the southeast contains the Demon's Pocket, a smaller cavity in the chasm wall contains an indigen nest, and the Tyrants Gotthard, the Intimidating and Hartmut, the Calamity are present above the chasm floor at all times. The bottom of the chasm cannot be seen from above, and appears shrouded in thicker layers of air just below the bottom-most areas a flying Skell can reach. The walls of the chasm are dominated not only by rock, but by the same mysterious gigantic metal water pipes that appear interwoven into the rest of Oblivia's landscape.
