'''Land Umber''' is a recurring character and boss in the ''[[Mana (series)|Mana]]'' series. It is part of the eight Benevodons, a group of fearsome & powerful creatures who once laid waste to the world. Land Umber rules over the earth element.
==Background==
Since time immemorial, Land Umber roamed the land of [[Fa'Diel]] along with its seven other siblings, causing chaos and destruction on their path. When the [[Mana Goddess]] came upon [[Fa'Diel]], she wielded whe [[Mana Sword]] to the horrible beasts and sealed them into their respective [[Mana Stone|Mana stones]]. Then, she transformed into the [[Mana Tree]] deep inside the [[Sanctuary of Mana (Trials of Mana)|Sanctuary]] where the blade laid on her knotted feet. Meanwhile, the benevodons waited in slumber for aeons until Mana power began to wane as the [[Mana Tree]] started to wither.

==History==
===''[[Trials of Mana]]''===
[[File:Land Umber fight ToM remake screenshot.jpg|thumb|300px|The party facing Land Umber]]
The shift in Mana was further accelerated by evil factions around the world longing to wield the Mana Sword's power. An emissary of the Goddess was sent from the Sanctuary to the human world in hope of finding someone suitable to defeat the enemy and restore the world back in shape.

A Chosen one was selected by [[Faerie (character)|Faerie]] to gather the [[Mana Spirits|elementals]] and wielding the fabled blade against the evil forces who sought to release Mana power contained within each stone to open the portal to the [[Sanctuary of Mana (Trials of Mana)|Sanctuary of Mana]]. Aided by their comrades, their ultimately failed to prevent their enemy to use the sword to break the seals on the Mana Stones, ushering a new era of despair. Faerie pleaded the party to defeat each benevodon before they combine into an indestructible chimera and they started venturing all over Fa'Diel to locate them.

Land Umber was found deep within the gem valley of Daria, where he attacked the party with herculean might. Fortunately, the earth benevodon was eventually defeated.

The [[Land Umber's Ring]] can be found near the benevodon's lair in the [[Trials of Mana HD|remake]]. It reduces earth-elemental damage inflincted by enemies by half.

===''[[Children of Mana]]''===

The recent Mana Surge turned Land Umber into a [[Malevodon]] by combining it with [[Fiegmund]] to create [[Landmund]]. The monstrosity was fought in the [[Ice Citadel]] under the watchful eye of the [[Mana Lord]], but was eventually defeated, turning the two benevodons into their original states.

Some time after the incident, [[Gnome]] told the protagonist to ask Land Umber about various topics concerning the world. The hero headed back to where they had fought the Malevodon to meet with the spirit of the earth benevodon and has their questions answered.

At the end of the game, the eight benevodons joined forces to seal [[Illusia Isle]] from being found in the mortal realm. It is hinted that the island is was becamed of the Sanctuary of Mana in ''Trials of Mana''.

An optional quest only accessible by completing the game makes the protagonist warp deep into the [[Cosmic Rift]] to meet with the eight benevodons for the last time. They gift them the ultimate [[Gem]] called [[Mystic Blessing]].

===''[[Heroes of Mana]]''===
{{quote2|Land Umber, the benevodon of earth has suddenly gone berserk! The party panics as nobody can explain his behavior. The battle to stop the benevodon to stop the benevondon's rampage begins. The benevodon's overwhelming force is tamed, and sealed into the Mana Stone once again, with the help of the other benevondons. The battle is over, but questions remain on everyone's minds. Only Belgar has a knowing look of concern on his face.|Notebook}}

Roget and crew discover the Mana Stone of the earth in [[Chapter 8 (Heroes of Mana)|Chapter 8: Clashes and Quakes]] after defeating the [[Pedda|Peddan]] troops invading [[Molebear Moors]]. Gnome, the the corresponding elemental spirit, joins the party afterwards.

Players can later summon Land Umber by building an [[Altar of Earth]] once for each mission. The benevodon deals 350 damage with the added [[Petrify (status)|petrifying]] effect to enemies in range.

In bonus mission 42, it is mysteriously released from its stone. Gnome, [[Valda]], [[Loki]], and [[Belgar]] arrive on the scene and manage to take advantage of its newly risen state to force it back in the stone. Though everyone else is left in the dark on how the benevodon got out; it is revealed to the player that Land Umber was accidentally released by Belgar.

==Trivia==
* Like many other benevodons, Land Umber's name appears as a month of the year in ''[[Sword of Mana]]''. He is only mentioned once in the game as the protagonist reads [[Lord Granz]]'s 3rd diary inside [[Granz Castle]] and is spelled ''Landamber''.
