Fomorian

The fomorian is a hideously ugly and grossly deformed giant.

Society
Fomorians are usually found in caves, abandoned mine shafts, or like areas, decorated by the half-eaten remains of their last meal. The strongest Fomorian rules over the rest, and females and children are treated no better than slaves. Violent acts are commonplace. Captives are usually tortured for their captors' amusement, then eaten. A fomorian is usually neutral evil in alignment, and, if classed, are usually barbarians.

Combat
Fomorians try to catch a foe off-guard and hit as hard as they can while they are unawares, since, unlike other giants, they don't throw boulders. They can be "convinced" to fight alongside a travelling party, but this companionship only lasts as long as the fomorian fears his dominator.

Religion
Fomorians primarily worship the god Karontor.
