Special Traits

  • Lesser Kaiju. Lesser kaiju are larger than all but the greatest monsters adventurers face. Conventional weapons, even highly-enchanted ones, lack the mass to deal serious wounds to a kaiju. The same is true for all but the mightiest spells. When a creature of Large size or smaller deals damage to a lesser kaiju with a weapon or feature, or with a spell of 7th level or lower, its damage is halved, and can be reduced further by resistance or saving throws. Siege weapons and creatures with the Siege Monster trait are treated like Gargantuan creatures. Creatures of size Large and smaller can move through or occupy a kaiju’s space. Huge or larger creatures and 8th-level spells (including lower-level spells cast with 8th-level slots) deal normal damage, which can be reduced further by resistance or saving throws. Lesser kaiju deal double damage to objects and structures. They ignore normal difficult terrain.
  • Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Hubrun, the Big Goblin fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead. It can’t use this feature if the effect imposes the frightened condition.
  • Fearful. Hubrun, the Big Goblin has disadvantage on all saving throws against the frightened condition.

About

Hubrun is not the biggest creature you’ll meet, but is certainly the largest goblin you encounter. He is stronger, tougher, dumber, and more cowardly than any other goblin, too.

Champion of Goblinkind. Hubrun has no problem crushing most threats to goblinoids with his club or thrown rocks. His weak will makes it easy for goblin chieftains and priests to manipulate him into fighting for them. However, the rank-and-file goblins all but worship him.

Warped by Goblin Gods. Though the exact origins of Hubrun, the Big Goblin are unknown to goblinkind, he has been blessed with long life by goblin standards. The goblin gods made Hubrun, the Big Goblin out of a giant, to punish him for destroying their most sacred sacrifice pits and stealing their treasures. They addled his mind and reshaped his features to be goblin-like, so that he would come to serve them and learn of the ills that goblinkind suffer in the world.
