- For other Giants, see Giant.
The Gigantes are a race of giants that Gaea gave birth to when the blood of her mutilated husband fell upon her earthly form. They are huge, man-like creatures with serpents for feet. Their hatred of the Olympian gods runs deep, and they will never pass up a chance to do one harm.
Special Att/Def: Varies by individual.
Each Gigante has at least one special power; for example, Antaeus heals all damage he takes each round. In combat, he also increases 2' in size and does an additional Id8 in damage each round, to a maximum size of 21' and a maximum of 5d8 in damage. Both of these powers work only as long as his feet are touching the ground. Another gigante, Enceladus, is so terrifying in aspect that any being seeing him must save versus spells or flee as if affected by a fear spell. Any time he saves against a magic spell, Enceladus can grab it out of the air and fling it back at his attackers. If the spell allows no saving throw, he is automatically able to use this power.
