Cloud giant

Cloud giants are among the most powerful of giant kind. Cloud giants believe in their own inherent superiority, and this has lead to a schism in the race between those who believe it is their duty to help those lesser than themselves, and those who believe it is their duty to crush those lesser then themselves.

Description[]

Cloud giants’ skin ranges in color 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 5,000 pounds. Females are slightly shorter and lighter. Cloud giants can live to be 400 years old.

Cloud giants dress in the finest clothing available and wear jewelry. To many, appearance indicates station. The better the clothes and the finer the jewelry, the more important the wearer.

They also appreciate music, and most can play one or more instruments (the harp is a favorite).

Type Humanoid
Subtype Giant
