TACTICS

While not known for their intelligence, flayed giants are relatively cunning. Most often they wait below the water for a ship to pass overhead. At the right moment, they swim upward and pierce the hull of the ship with their huge tridents. While the ship’s crew tends to the damage, the flayed giants then attempt latch onto the vessel, using their body weight to capsize it.

ABOUT

A flayed giant’s skin is reddish, the color of fresh blood, yet semi-transparent and scaly.

It has gills like those of a fish on its neck and shoulders, and fins protrude at odd angles from its extremities. It wields a massive trident nearly twice the length of a human
