That's right. They've been surviving by locking themselves inside their walls while under siege by Demonic Beasts.

Those beasts have a set attack cycle. They're not exactly demons immune to hunger and exhaustion.

They cannot hold out any longer. Therefore, we must evacuate any remaining survivors immediately.

 |

@Gilgamesh
 |

However, it doesn't have much in the way of stamina. According to legend, it could run thousands of miles in a day. But, if you study it, that seems unlikely.
 |

[k]
 |

 |

@Gilgamesh

An Ušumgallu can only maintain its maximum speed for about a minute. After that, it slows down and must feed.

@Dr. Roman

Ah, you're talking about burning calories. There's also muscle fiber and blood vessel endurance.
 | 
						||
[k]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
@Dr. Roman
 | 
						||
It's the same with cheetahs. The fastest animal on Earth, they can get up to speeds of eighty kilometers per hour in a space of about two seconds.
 | 
						||
[k]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
@Dr. Roman
 | 
						||
But it turns out that kind of high performance can be dangerous. Maintaining that speed for more than about ten seconds could burn up their brains.
 | 
						||
[k]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
@Dr. Roman
 | 
						||
That's why cheetahs always chase their prey for under ten seconds, and burn incredible amounts of calories doing it.
 | 
						||
[k]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
@Dr. Roman
 |

If it can take down its prey, the cheetah wins. But if the prey can evade the cheetah for more than ten seconds, the prey wins.

On the other hand, a Mušḫuššu doesn't have much combat power, but it has incredible endurance. It can be active for a whole day without feeding.

So you see, Demonic Beasts all have special traits. Usually they never fight alongside each other.

However, there's probably someone commanding them all. The commander brings them together and they come to attack once every seven days.
