Rising from the deepest volcanic pits, the Fire giant embodies the relentless fury of a living inferno. A towering behemoth made of smoldering rock and cascading lava flows, it radiates blistering heat that warps the air around it. The creature's immense, coal-black hands can reshape metal, and its glowing, molten gaze strikes terror in the hearts of even the bravest adventurers.
Motive: To incinerate and consume all in its path
Environment: Volcanoes, lava fields, and places of intense heat (Mountains)
Health: 18
Damage: 6 points
Armor: 2
Movement: Short
Modifications: Resisting heat and fire as level 7; Overwhelming obstacles with brute force as level 7
Combat: The giant lashes out with fists of molten rock, causing not just direct impact damage but also setting aflame anything flammable. A struck target must succeed on a Speed defense task or catch fire, taking an additional minor wound (2 points) every round until the flames are extinguished.
Interactions: Driven by its infernal nature, the giant communicates through belching embers and roaring flames, seeing most creatures as mere fuel for its fiery rage.
Uses: The giant could be the result of a dark ritual gone awry, a guardian for an ancient, powerful artifact, or an elemental force summoned to lay siege upon a kingdom.
Loot: Obsidian shards imbued with residual heat energy, rare minerals only found in the heart of a volcano, scorched remnants of ancient, flame-proof gear
GM Intrusion: As a character dodges the giant's attack, they inadvertently step onto a thin crust of hardened magma, which promptly breaks, plunging them into a pool of molten rock for additional damage.
