The golden, bandage-like organs covering its body are highly elastic. However, they are prone to tearing under extremely dry conditions, so daily moisture checks are absolutely essential.

Awakening
Gildra is dual-element, so its crystal is either Dark Awakening Crystal or Ground Awakening Crystal — the item data names one element per crystal and does not say which a two-element Pal takes. Either way it costs 50 Radiant Gems of that element plus 10 World Tree Holy Water.
Its Partner Skill gains a line
Awakening any Pal raises its stats. Gildra is one of 66 whose Partner Skill also gains an Cooldown Reduction: XL bonus at rank 5 — blank at rank 1, so it needs condensing too.
