Shukaku.      Gaara was the jinchūriki of Shukaku — the One-
Tail. The beast has a vast amount of chakra, even more so when
compared to most humans. Shukaku's presence inside Gaara allowed
him to manipulate sand at will. It was initially thought that
Gaara's automatic Shield of Sand stemmed from Shukaku and the
beast's own self-preservation instincts. However both Gaara's
father and uncle stated that it was in fact his mother's will
that moved the sand after she swore an oath to protect him no
matter what before dying.[1] Because Shukaku is said to devour
the soul of its jinchūriki if they were to fall asleep, Gaara
has spent up to fifteen years not sleeping at all and when the
series started he was driven mostly from a desire for his own
existence, and blood-lust, the latter being a trait Shukaku can
easily influence.      Partial Transformation      Half Shukaku
