Fire Giant

Type: Giant
Habitat: Volcanic regions, underground forges
Threat Level: Extreme

Description

Fire Giants stand about eighteen feet tall with coal-black skin and hair that flickers like flame. They are master smiths and warriors, forging weapons and armor of legendary quality in volcanic forges.

Behavior

Fire Giants have a rigid, militaristic society based on strength, craftsmanship, and conquest. They take slaves from other races to work their forges and mines. They are among the most aggressive of giantkind, viewing other races as resources to be exploited.

Combat

Fire Giants are immune to fire and resistant to heat. They wield massive weapons of black iron and can radiate intense heat that damages those nearby. Cold magic is effective; water attacks less so, as it simply evaporates.

Lore

Fire Giant weapons are highly prized for their quality, leading some to trade with them despite their slavery practices. The ethics of such trade is hotly debated in civilized lands.
