Introduction

In the ancient realm of Eden, the Giants stood as titans among beings of today. It was a fabled race that stirred both awe and wonder. With a colossal stature and a legacy woven with myth and legend, the Giants evoked a sense of grandeur that transcends the ordinary.

Frost Giants are the closest descendants to this ancient race, although hardened and made barbaric by millennia.

Generations of Frost Giants have lived for millennia among the harsh perennial winters of the mountains in the extreme north of the continent.

Their solitary life, often led without any family or memory of their more ambitious ancestors, has made them an aggressive, illiterate and territorial race. The Frost Giants are the only ones among the direct descendants of the giants who have no problem making pacts with demons or creatures of the Void

Habitat

The icy and desertic domains North of Eden.

Description

Frost Giants have thick fur that can protect them from the freezing cold. Theirs is a face, dark and sad, that is always grim, expressing resignation to a miserable fate, made of narrow-mindedness and creatures as ruthless as the permafrost desert in which they live.

Their thick and very long eyebrows, which protect their eyes from snowstorms, are the only expressiveness you will ever notice in their faces. They have developed muscles and some are even capable of performing small magic tricks, such as melting small blocks of ice. Their eyes, generally almost invisible and hidden by thick eyebrows, light up with blue flashes when this happens.

About 3.5 m tall, Frost Giants have an imposing size, which they generally maintain by fishing in cavities dug into the Arctic ice. Frost Giants are rather fond of their large horns, which they typically do not use except as a means of attracting their mate. In fact, unlike their Troll cousins, Frost Giants are highly monogamous.

Behaviour

With a rough and crude demeanor, but a fickle temperament. Frost Giants are cunning and opportunistic.

They are perhaps as barbaric as the Trolls but in reality they are very intelligent, and for them barbarism is more a choice of style.

They cannot stand company other than that of their partners, who in any case generally lose in their very dangerous struggle in the midst of the ice.

Like their troll cousins, Frost Giants live very long lives, and their main cause of death is usually adventurers, ice dragons, and other terrific creatures of the fearsome frozen deserts.

The Frost Giants, contrary to what one might say, are very aware of their miserable condition.

Looking sulky, Frost Giants enjoy cracking the skulls of foolish intruders who enter their territory no more than they enjoy complaining.

In fact, it is said that the ethology of these beings has developed in such a way that it is precisely the need to find a partner to complain to, which pushes these sad and depressing beings to look for each other and therefore to mate.

In Combat

In combat a Frost Giant faces the enemy head on, without fear of dying. He usually uses his rough physical strength, rarely using tools or throwing boulders of snow or ice.

Abilities

Rocky Punches: The Frost Giant hits the enemy with the full force of his fists, which are as hard as boulders, dealing 2d3+2 damage

Frost Giant Immunities: A Frost Giant is immune to poisons, enchantments and diseases. It receives half damage from frigumancy magic and 1 and a half damage from piromancy magic.

Drops

Frost Giant Fur, Giant’s Call.
