Abyss gigas
(chaotic, evil, extraplanar, giant)
Abyss gigas are gigantic humanoid gigas of immense strength and power native to the Outer Sphere plane of the Outer Rifts.1
Appearance
Abyss gigas are large black- or gray-skinned humanoid creatures, well over 50 feet tall and weighing at least 25 tons. An abyss gigas has no obvious sight organs, and large tusks sprout from the lower jaw of their mouth. They are rarely seen without their heavy adamantine full plate, which they wear effortlessly.1
Habitat
Abyss gigas are most common in the depths of the Outer Rifts, where they roam between the remains of ancient titan fortresses. Abyss gigas tend to create their own petty realms, most often formed from enslaved demons and captured planar travellers. In the Universe, abyss gigas normally take control over clans of giants, feeling both a strange kinship to and absolute superiority over them.1
Ecology and society
Like all gigas, abyss gigas are descendants of the titans, the eons-old progenitor race of all giant-kind. Abyss gigas are rare creatures who see themselves as inherent rulers, and act with petty tyranny over any creature upon whom they can enforce their will. Dwelling in the depths of the Outer Rifts their cruel fiefdoms normally comprise of demons. On the rare occasions when an abyss gigas encounters another abyss gigas they immediately enter into a state of war, sending forth waves of minions to do bloody battle on their behalf. These gigas almost never face each other directly, and never fight to the death, each abyss gigas is painfully aware of the ever dwindling number of their kind still left in existence.1
In the Universe, abyss gigas favor ruling over giants, and particularly enjoy usurping rulership of frost giant cults devoted to Kostchtchie. All abyss gigas seem happy serving more powerful demon lords as long as they are allowed their own domain to rule over with an iron fist. Abyss gigas have served not only Kostchtchie but also the demonic goddess Lamashtu and the demon lord Urxehl.1
