Ettin by Oliver Meinerding.
Ettin by Oliver Meinerding. Ettins are the fiercest and most violent amongst the giants. They are two-headed giants and relatively intelligent. They are considered freaks by the rest of their kin and other giants consider that ettins should be destroyed on sight. Ettins are thirteen feet tall and otherwise resemble Hill Giants. They sleep all day and hunt all night. Ettins live in caves in mountainous areas and will often maraud through humanoid settlements. There are extremely rare instances of ettins with three or four heads. These rarities are even more ill-tempered than their two-headed kin, and more prone to violence and destruction. Ettins have their own language of grunts and howls and no developed civilization whatsoever.
