Swamp giants are aggressive, simpleminded savages that constantly wander bogs and marshlands to hunt, pillage, and scavenge for food. They are unsavory, brutish creatures that stand around 13 to 14 feet tall and weigh up to 1,000 pounds. Swamp giants rely mainly on alligators and crocodiles for food and hide, but they also supplement this with other large beasts such as anacondas, deer, elks, giant fish, giant frogs, giant turtles, and humanoids.

Swamp Adaptations.

 Swamp giants once looked like smaller hill giants, but evolution and several millennia of living in their wet and humid environments have slowly caused them to have physical adaptations. Their tough skins have become mottled and frog-like, and their hair stringy and dark green. Their eyes have evolved to see in the dark and have become very sensitive to movement. While not becoming totally amphibious, swamp giants can hold their breaths longer, enabling them to remain submerged for long periods of time in order to move closer to their targets.

Electricity Generators.

Swamp giants, like other giants, are known for their tremendous size and strength, as well as their ability to throw rocks at great distances. But what makes swamp giants even more dangerous is their ability to generate powerful volts of electricity like an electric eel. Anyone caught within the vicinity of this discharge is often instantly slain. Those few that survive the electrical attack usually remain stunned and only live long enough to be finished off by the giants' axes.

Xenophobic Giants.

Swamp giants are wary of humanoids, especially lizardfolk, and hunt those that stray too close to their lands. Swamp giants particularly hate lizardfolk as the latter have become their oldest rivals and threats for controlling territories. They fear black dragons that encroach in their domain and will try to eliminate them while they are still young because older black dragons tend to enslave swamp giants and use them as guards. Swamp giants tolerate the company of trolls and may work with them to form raiding parties.
