ACTIONS

• Multiattack. The giant can use its Frightful Presence. It then attacks twice.
• Axe. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 46 (8d8+10) slashing damage and the target makes a DC 25 Strength saving throw. On a failure, it is either knocked prone or pushed away 20 feet (the giant’s choice).
• Rock or Tree. Ranged Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, range 150/600 ft., one target. Hit: 37 (6d8+10) bludgeoning damage and the target makes a DC 25 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, it is knocked prone and restrained by the tree (escape DC 25).
• Frightful Presence. Each creature of the giant’s choice that is within 120 feet of it and aware of it must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the giant’s Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

ABOUT

Deep within the world, lurking about grand caverns and stalking through underground seas, there walk beings so blasphemously ferocious that to look upon them inspires dread. The mutated skin of a terror giant is transparent and exposes the blood, bone, and muscle underneath but the most profound alteration in these creatures are the malformed third arms jutting out of their chests. Fortunately they are lazy and prone to inactivity, only stirring when food is nearby or to take care of the bulettes they keep as pets.
