The depths of the ocean hold many secrets:
sunken ships, lost civilizations, fantastic beasts of
immense size and profound evil. One such secret
that recently surfaced is the lesser sea giant. Lesser
sea giants are approximately 20 feet tall, greenskinned,
and have white hair streaked with green.
Males tend to wear their hair and beards braided,
and members of both sexes favor bangles of shells,
bits of coral, and other adornments. Lesser sea giants
live hermetic lifestyles, staking out a territory and
sharing that territory with only natural animals. All
other creatures are either killed or chased away. One
creature that a lesser sea giant will always attack
on sight is a storm giant; there is an ancient hatred
between these two races that goes back millennia.
Combat
Lesser sea giants attack using their spell-like
abilities, shape water ability and trident. If unarmed,
they can attack with their fists. They do not hurl
rocks as other giants. Their outsized tridents have a
range increment of 20 feet.
Shape Water (Su): Once per day, a lesser sea
giant can form a volume of water into the shape of a
20-foot long arm ending in a clenched fist (AC 20,
hp 80). The lesser sea giant may use this fist to make
a ranged attack with a maximum range of 20 feet,
and deal 1d8+13 points of damage as a slam. Any
creature struck by this fist must succeed on a DC
20 Fortitude save or be stunned for 1 round. The
save DC is Charisma-based. The arm remains for
17 rounds and the lesser sea giant does not need to
concentrate to maintain the arm. The fist loses shape

if it reaches 0 hit points, the duration expires, or the
lesser sea giant dies or wills the effect to end.
Spell-Like Abilities: 2/day—control water
(DC 16); 1/day—control winds. Caster level 17th.
The save DCs are Charisma-based.
Freedom of Movement (Su): Lesser sea
giants continuously benefit from freedom of
movement as the spell (caster level 17th).
Oversized Weapon (Ex): A lesser sea giant
wields a great, one-handed trident (big enough for
Gargantuan creatures) without penalty.
Rock Catching (Ex): A lesser sea giant can
catch Small, Medium, or Large rocks (or projectiles
of similar shape). Once per round, a lesser sea giant
that would normally be hit by a rock can make a
Reflex save to catch it as a free action. The DC is
15 for a Small rock, 20 for a Medium one, and 25
for a Large one. (If the projectile provides a magical
bonus on attack rolls, the DC increases by that
amount.) The lesser sea giant must be ready for and
aware of the attack in order to make a rock catching
attempt.
Water Breathing (Ex): A lesser sea giant
can breathe underwater indefinitely and can freely
use its spell-like abilities and other abilities while
submerged.
Skills: A lesser sea giant has a +8 racial bonus
on any Swim check to perform some special action
or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on
a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It
can use the run action while swimming, provided it
swims in a straight line.
