Gaichuu are giant insects covered in jewel like armor. "Gaichuu" is the Japanese rōmaji for "pesty bug" or "outside order" in English. They live in the dark lands outside of the artificial sunlight (especially in Yodaka and Yuusari) and attack anyone who travels along the darkened paths (they are attracted to heart).
To destroy them, one must penetrate their armor with heart. Gaichuu are said to have no heart, but may be able to gain one if they manage to consume enough quantities of heart, which was proven with the Cabernet.
Every Gaichuu has a weak spot or gaps somewhere along their armor. The Gaichuu cannot be killed even if you behead them, as shown when Niche beheads Gaichuu Four Roses, but can most certainly be killed by shooting a Shindan into to their gap or weak spot, which ruptures their armor. These gaps are numerous, but the trouble behind that is they are hard to spot.
It was later revealed by Niche's Sister that Gaichuu are another form of the Spirit Insects that once occupied the Amberground, once the Spirit Insects shed the last of their "Hearts" they became the massive Gaichuu. While the other ones who went under a special transformation became the "Spirit Amber".

- In the manga, Niche had grown and found the heart of the Cabernet's body which allowed the Shindan to destroy it.
