I finally found it! Hisian Goodra. Although in ancient records they were described as swamp beasts, personally, due to their calm character, I would describe them more as gentle giants.
Today, we have a little Yanma mail guy!! They serve as both a messager and delivery person for the villages- because of that, they don't really have a permanent home, and just travel around with their dad, wherever they're needed for work! They're very spunky and energetic and curious! Their hobbies including running and looking for cool stuff that's washed up on shore! (Which is how they found their goggles)
Years later I read a quote by Stephen King that summed up what it was like living with the abuse: “People outside such relationships will sometimes ask, ‘How could you let such a business go on for so many years? Didn’t you see the elephant in the living room?’ And it’s so hard for anyone living in a more normal situation to understand the answer that comes closest to the truth; ‘I’m sorry, but it was there when I moved in. I didn’t know it was an elephant; I thought it was part of the furniture.’”

I was in college before I stopped trembling everytime my father raised his voice. He could be shouting at a business associate over the phone and I'd be quaking in a corner somewhere. I didn't need a psychiatrist to tell me that witnessing my father beating on my mother like she was a Mexican piñata would have a profound effect on me.
Years later, when I asked my mom about the beatings and reminded her about the only one I ever actually saw, she said it was that very day she made up her mind to leave my father. That day, something inside her said that if she didn't leave, someone was going to end up dead, and she was pretty sure it would be her. But by the time she made her decision, the damage had already been done to me. I'd been programmed to accept abuse as part of my life.
OH when I went to the gym over Halloween weekend, I saw MANY people in costumes working out and running. It’s really situational funniness I guess hmm
