Ettin

Ettin were giants with two heads that were capable of independent thought and could each control one arm for attacking.

Abilities
Typically, an ettin fought with two weapons, such as a morningstar and javelin.

If an ettin were to survive the loss of one of it's heads, it would of course lose the advantages of having two, and would be considered deformed by other ettins, but it would otherwise be able to live a normal life.

Society
Ettins liked to make their homes in caves and underground settings. They did not generally seek out or care for the opinions of other ettins. In Jotun, the word ettin meant "runt".
