Hecatoncheir (cephalopodamorph), the 256th Known One.
Does Hecatoncheir really warrant being in Jaki?
[ask from Jan 15, 2021]
Here's an old pull that's relevant to current discussion. As might be suspected, Jaki is one of those races that's better understood with knowledge of the Japanese. It is "邪鬼", literally "wicked oni/ghost." The 鬼/ki kanji in particular encompasses a broad number of meanings, as you can see in the Jisho dictionary link. But this "ki" is also the same ki that's in "Kishin/鬼神", you know, the largely protective deities. So why is the [4 Heavenly Kings +Thor] race considered "oni"? It's more about the expression they wear on their faces to exude a "fierceness"/"scariness" to repel evil. See: one of the definitions on Jisho. Also, Fierce Deity Link, aka "Kishin" Link. "Fierce" probably would have been the ideal localization for the Kishin race, btw. And maybe "Wicked" for Jaki.
So, the Hecatoncheir isn't literally an ogre, but it might be considered fierce or scary in demeanor/countenance. Considering their appearance in Hesiod's Theogony:
Then their other appearances in myth: their imprisonment in Tartarus by Ouranos and their release by Zeus to help him fight the Titans in the Titanomachy. So maybe they're monstrous but they aided in establishing the new order of the Greek cosmos-- thus, Hecatoncheir might be considered an archetype of the Dark-Neutral Jaki race.

A Little Bit of Everything
Ragnarok from FFXIII bears resemblance to the game's Eidolons. For example, notice the many arms (Hecatoncheir), claws and muscles (Bahamut), frills (Brynhildr), crown (Alexander), rings (Shiva), and cloak (Odin). There are also elements of the Pulse deity.
It's quite difficult to spot because these creatures have complex designs...but I found it fascinating either way.
