Giant

Giants are large humanoids that range from 15 to 30 feet depending on the exact type of giant. They also vary greatly in alignment, personality, and strength. Below you can find information on the most commonly encountered types of giants.

### Cloud Giant

Cloud giants are giants that typically live at points of high elevation, such as mountain peaks. Cloud giants' skin ranges in colour from milky white to light sky blue. Their hair is silvery white or brass, and their eyes are iridescent blue. Adult males are about 18 feet tall and weigh about 5000 pounds. Cloud giants prefer to wear fine clothing and jewelry. They are magical in nature and are able to summon forth a cloud of fog and mist at will. Cloud giants are most commonly neutral good or neutral evil.

### Fire Giant

Fire giants stand at roughly 18 feet in height and have stocky body types similar to dwarves. They tend towards orange or red hair and very dark skin. Adults weigh around 7000 pounds. Fire giants possess extraordinary vision and have complete immunity to fire damage. They prefer to dwell in hot environments like volcanic areas, either in caverns or castles, and existed in societies often led by a king or a queen. Fire giants are known for being particularly cold and ruthless in their actions. They are most commonly lawful evil.

### Fomorian

The godless Fomorians are the "most hideous and wicked of all giantkind." They are hideously deformed and misshapen, but the random positioning of their sense organs gives them keen perception. Fomorians have no loyalty beyond those they fear and seek the enslavement of all creatures, particularly other fey. The fomorians' deformities prevent them from throwing boulders the way other giants do; however, they still wield mighty weapons, usually greatclubs. They are most commonly encountered deep in the Underdark, or in the Feywild's equivalent known as the Feydark. Fomorians are chaotic evil.

### Frost Giant

Frost giants tower over most humanoids at an impressive 21+ feet in height, though they are seldom seen due to their habit of living in conditions that most would deem extremely cold and borderline uninhabitable. Frost giants weigh around 2800 lbs. They have white skin and either blue or dirty yellow hair and wear skins or pelts, along with jewelry they own. Their eye colour usually matches their hair colour. Frost giants are typically neutral evil in alignment.

### Hill Giant

Hill giants are the smallest of the giants, and are by far the least intelligent. They are short and stocky in comparison to other giants, but are extremely muscular, capable of hurling boulders up to 300 lbs. through the air. The reason hill giants appear to be more muscular than other giants is because of their shorter limbs, but taller giants, such as fomorians, are still much more powerful. Coupled with being extraordinarily unintelligent, hill giants are also extremely cruel and self-serving, which makes them dangerous foes. Hill giants are almost entirely all chaotic evil.

### Shadow Giant

Dark giants that usually inhabit the Underdark or, in some cases, alternate planes of existence that they are exiled to. Shadow giants stand at approximately 16 feet in height and delight in causing as much trouble for smaller humanoids as possible. This does not always equate to violence, as sometimes shadow giants simply enjoy traumatizing their victims or subjecting them to psychological torture. Shadow giants are extremely solitary in nature and are quite greedy, often willing to be paid off by powerful entities to commit acts of villainy for them. Shadow giants are chaotic evil.

### Stone Giant

dult stone giants average about 18 feet in height and weigh 1700 pounds. Stone giants have an excellent sense of smell and have infravision to 200 feet. Stone giants are the longest living of the giants. Stone giants prefer temperate mountain ranges as their habitat. Stone giants are powerful enough to survive and make a living in the Underdark in the face of competition. They have a tendency to gather in larger individual groups the deeper the given group is located, but are primarily denizens of the Upperdark, though their numbers are small even there. The alignment of stone giants is typically true neutral.

### Storm Giant

Storm giants are extremely intelligent giants who live on cloud islands. Their vision is adapted to underwater conditions, where they see equally as well as they do in the air. A storm giant stands about 26 feet tall and weighs over 3000 lbs. They tend to wear fine tunics and belted sandals. Storm giants are capable of throwing lightning bolts at will. These giants are regarded as being chaotic good in nature, and acts of mercy towards smaller mortal humanoids is seen as a good deed in storm giant culture.
