Cloud giant

Cloud giants, called Skyejotunen in their own language, were a race of giants who preferred living among the clouds.

Description
Cloud giants' skin ranged in color from milky white to light sky blue. Their hair was silvery white or brass, and their eyes were iridescent blue.

They often dressed in fine clothing and jewelry.

Biology
Cloud giants had vision that extended into the infrared, (although this was not infravision,) which allowed them to see particularly well through fog and cloud. They also had an excellent sense of smell.

Abilities
Cloud giants all possessed some control over their namesake, being able to summon forth a cloud of fog and mist at will.

Cloud giants were known to innately have a high affinity for runecasting as well as traditional sorcery.

Combat
When it came to close quarters combat, they were known to favor the use of greatclubs.

Society
These giants preferred to live in the tallest mountains or even higher if possible. Those with magical talents often create floating castles or cities in which to dwell, held aloft in the sky atop a mass of clouds.

Diet
Many have been known to hunt for wild game, such as elk.

Languages
Cloud giants spoke the general giant language Jotun, their own specialized version of it known as Jotunskye, as well as common. They were often illiterate, though to a lesser degree than giant races whose cultures put little value on education, such as hill and fire giants.

Religion
Cloud giants were generally known to worship Stronmaus, though many were patrons of the giant goddess Iallanis. Those that typically had evil tendencies were known to worship Memnor. Beyond the giant pantheon, some cloud giants were known to serve the goddess Aerdrie Faenya.

Relationships
Cloud giants were known to often keep spotted lions and dire lions as pets or guardians.
