Description
Some say that firbolgs evolved from plants. Others say they are from another world. Researchers claim that they are a variation of Unknown. They were created by the god of mystery and the unknown, which justifies their mysterious origins and the shrouded design behind those creatures. Firbolg have humanoid anatomy, but their size reminds of ogres. Despite their big size, they often go unnoticed within any natural environment. Firbolgs have a strong bond with nature and magic that can keep them away from unwanted attention. They are usually peaceful creatures, living in small tribes, hidden in forests. Druids are always looking to interact with them, as they can learn a lot from them. Avoiding large settlements and rarely living in cities, Firbolg often have a rough appearance, unaware of any social standards of dressing or styling. They are usually quite strong and wise creatures, with lifespans that allow them to watch civilizations rise and fall
