Papinijuwaris are a race of cyclopean giants related to cloud giants.

Appearance

A papinijuwari is an imposing one-eyed giant whose breath reeks of pestilence. It stands about 20 feet tall and weighs nearly 6,000 pounds.

Ecology

Papinijuwaris can sense and feed off the life force of those infected by disease, and seek to spread pestilence. They are capable of taking the form of a shooting star to race across the skies and invisibly stalk through settlements at night, hastening the progression of diseases.

Society

Papinijuwaris are hated by their cloud giant cousins, even the evil ones, as their hunting practices offend the so-called refined giants' sensibilities. In some humanoid cultures, the sight of a shooting star heralds the arrival of a papinijuwari.
