On the journey to recover the water elemental at Ginso Tree, Ori and Sein encountered a creature called Gumo. Gumo can be considered the last creature of the Gumon race, which protects the wind element. When darkness enveloped the Nibel forest, instead of opposing it to gain light, Gumo gradually decayed and accepted darkness as part of life. Gumo stole the Water Vein, which needed to get into the Ginso Tree, from Ori’s hands.

Although Gumo caused many difficulties for her, Ori decided to save Gumo from being trapped. This awakened Gumo and changed his mind, returning Water Vein to Ori to continue the journey to restore the light.
