Skin color among mountain giants is usually light. Their hair is brown, black or occasionally red (red hair is held in regards to great beauty among mountain giants), with eyes ranging from brown to green to blue.
Mountain giants are violent as a result of their history. Banished by their hill giant ancestors, they were forced to drive out the stone giants from their northern ranges. They regularly mock-fight amongst each other. However, they prefer not to start a real fight without a genuine reason (although they will jump into a fight that's already started without hesitation). As such, they may not act anymore violent than an average human on a good day.
Adults are about 11-1/2 feet tall and weigh about 1,1700 pounds. Mountain giants can live to be 200 years old.
COMBAT
Mountain giants love to make overrun and bullrush attacks against smaller creatures when they first join battle. Thereafter, they stand fast and swing away with their massive clubs.
Rock Throwing (Ex): The range increment is 120 feet for a Mountain giant’s thrown rocks.
