History Characters / GenshinImpactHilichurls

* SingleGenderRace: All the hilichurls encountered in the game appear to be male, though they could be genderless. [[spoiler:Given [[WasOnceAMan how hilichurls were citizens of Khaenri'ah]], it's implied that female hilichurls exist though as there were known females within Khaenri'ah prior to the nation's destruction.]]

** [[spoiler:Averted in Chapter III Act VI when we meet a hilichurl who is [[GoneHorriblyRight fully capable]] of speaking and comprehending Teyvat's {{Common Tongue}} thanks to a {{Dangerous Forbidden Technique}}.]]

* UndergroundMonkey: The original Stonehide variants are typically found in Liyue, though some made it west to Sumeru and Fontaine; the Frostarm variants are limited to Dragonspine; and the Thunderhelm variants live throughout Inazuma as well as in Enkanomiya, with a few also being found in select parts of Liyue like Chenyu Vale.

* ForceAndFinesse: The Force to the small and slender rogue's Finesse; the lawachurls take advantage of their gigantic size, raw strength, and power to obliterate their foes, and all of their enhanced attacks deal [=AoE=] damage. When it comes to using Giant Slimes, they will simply hurl at them (or, if depowered, they hurl three smaller slimes instead), while rogues are creative with them.

* TheHermit: The good news is that lawachurls tend to be solitary, meaning there will be few distractions when fighting them. The bad news is that they are effectively a OneManArmy that can easily mop the floor with unprepared players.

* IronicName: "Lawa" means "king" or "chief" in hilichurlian. This name comes from hilichurls's philosophy that AsskickingLeadsToLeadership. However, lawachurls tend to stay away from their lesser kin, preferring solitude. Only a few are found ruling other hilichurl tribes.

* UndergroundMonkey: The original Stonehide variants are typically found in Liyue, though some made it west to Sumeru; the Frostarm variants are limited to Dragonspine; and the Thunderhelm variants live throughout Inazuma as well as in Enknaomiya.

* DeviousDaggers: The Anemo rogue is equipped with a curved short blade, with which they can perform slash combos, and which can also be transformed into shurikens.

* ForceAndFinesse: The Finesse to the gigantic lawachurls' Force. In sharp contrast to the latter, the rogues are much more nimble, precise, and can utilize more attack options. This extends to their use of Giant Slimes as well; while lawachurls will simply opt to hurl them at an opponent, the rogues are more crafty with their usage (Hydro rogues will use the Slime to spit out bubbles, while Anemo rogues will ride on an airborne Slime).
* FuumaShuriken: One of the Anemo rogue's attacks is to throw an Anemo-infused shuriken, transformed from its dagger, and another attack has it use said shuriken as a boomerang.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: A Hydro Hilichurl Rogue will summon a Large Hydro Slime and prod it repeatedly with the scythe's rear handlebar to force them to spit out bubbles. Once drained, the rogue will simply kick the unfortunate slime away. They will occasionally throw three smaller Hydro Slimes as a projectile instead.

* MovesetClone: The Anemo rogue has RazorWind attacks similar to the Wanderer's, and can also hover and attack with aforementioned wind blades from above.
* SinisterScythe: The Hydro rogue is armed with a scythe that deal Hydro damage. Its scythe blade can even be adjusted for stabbing foes.

* SwordBeam: While using a Giant Anemo Slime to hover, an Anemo hilichurl rogue will unleash wind blades with every slash, with the final one being a cross-blade.
