Monster: Death Giant

Monster: Death Giant

Death giants, while physically weak for their size, are tough to deal with due to them being attuned to the Negative Energy Plane. These soul-draining giants are very difficult to kill.

    Guardian Souls: A death giant’s victims become its guardians in death. Each death giant is surrounded by a constantly swirling cloud of intangible spirits. These spirits provide the death giant with warnings and protection, granting the creature a +4 bonus to Hearing and Vision rolls and the benefits of Danger Sense (p. B47).
    A death giant’s will binds its guardian souls to it. They are not ghosts or undead in the usual sense and cannot be damaged or separated from the death giant. This is a magical ability that can be negated in zero-mana areas. In addition, a casting of Turn Zombie or Turn Spirit suppresses this ability for 1d minutes.
