Fire giant

Fire giants were a type of giant.

Description
Fire giants stood around eighteen feet (five meters) tall and were dwarf-like in appearance. They tended towards orange or red hair and very dark skin. Adults weighed around 7,000 pounds (3,000 kilograms).

Powers
Although fire giants were immune to fire, they were particularly vulnerable to cold.

A fire giant's vision was well adapted to cope with the shimmering associated with high temperatures.

Society
Fire giants lived in small family groups, called huslyder.

They preferred to dwell in hot environments like volcanic areas, either in caverns or castles, and existed in societies often led by a king or a queen.

Their clothing was usually flame-colored or black, and singed. Armor was generally made from steel. Fire Giants used magically flaming weapons whenever possible. They attacked with rocks heated in fire or lava to soften targets before engaging in melee.

Fire Giants were hostage takers and often took payments from less powerful creatures in the surrounding area in exchange for not attacking them.

Fire giants spoke Jotunild and Jotun.
