Unit 2: Research (Remote Locations)

In my previous idea, I just assumed my Pagan Colossus would be forest bound due to the nature aspects of Paganism. However, I've decided to broaden my search and look at different nature locations on Earth to see what sort of areas he could lay dormant in. 

Taking my characters back story into consideration, I've decided that he would change location every hundred years or so, meaning he has various Lairs across the Earth, each one of them in different climates, which means my characters has to be able to adapt and live in each of them.

There is also his size to take into consideration, would he be able to stay above ground and remain hidden if he is taller than most trees that grow on the Earth? Or would he have to resort to burrowing underground? 

After searching for 'Remote Locations', I was given a number of various islands with different climates:
