This article might have further canon details available on PathfinderWiki. |
Ancient beyond measure, giants have evolved into numerous subspecies that thrive in harsh environments. However, they’re best known for their prodigious strength, stature, and pride.1
Appearance
Giants are tall and muscular, ranging from 9–15 feet in height depending on subspecies (though a few giants are much taller). 1
Society
According to legend, their gods forged the giants at the dawn of time to endure for all ages. Thanks to their strength, adaptability, and self-congratulatory mythology, giants are often incredibly proud. Giants care deeply for tradition and kin, commemorating their deeds and building bonds through media, tattoos, and stories. 1
Adventurers
A giant’s pride often drives them to test their strength against unfamiliar environments, attain trophies of great deeds, and return home with tall tales of their exploits. However, many chafe at other settlements’ tiny amenities, encouraging giant adventurers to explore wildernesses where their size provides a clear advantage. 1
Names
Most giants have a single multisyllabic personal name and can trace their lineage back as far as the Gap. Some sample names include Akor, Elthel, Flega, Gehela, Igvale, Rigreth, Roros, Sortar, and Vekora. 1
