Sea giants are distant, imposing, and often
silent in demeanor. Most prefer to have little to
do with non-aquatic creatures unless absolutely
necessary. On the rare occasions that they have
business with sailing vessels or land-dwellers, sea
giants will rise slowly out from the waves, silent
and staring down to ensure such folk have every
opportunity to see just how terrifying they are.
Sea giants make certain all parties concerned treat
the occasion with sufficient gravity before they
commence any negotiation.
Sea giants are huge, with blue-green skin,
bright green eyes and brown seaweed for hair.
Indeed their whole bodies are often draped with
weeds. Their skin sometimes resembles fishscales,
but just as often is more like sea-adapted
mammalian skin such as that of a dolphin or whale.
Sea giants stand some 32 to 35 feet tall,
but are of normal human proportions rather than
having the broad and savage build of some of
the other giants. They typically weigh 40,000 to
50,000 pounds. A sea giant can live to be up to
1,200 years old.

Sea giants do not usually carry bags, but tie
larger items directly to their belts with lengths
of tough seaweed. A sea giant going hunting or
fishing will use his net to drag back anything he
catches. Sea giants usually carry at least four or
five tridents, often clutching the extra weapons
under their left arms. Most sea giants prefer to
leave the bulk of their treasure in their lairs,
carrying only items they expect to be useful on
the particular trip they are taking. This usually
includes any magic items they have and are able to
use, since such items are generally highly portable
and potentially lifesaving.
Combat
Sea giants armed for war carry tridents and
nets, although this is also the typical gear of a sea
giant going hunting and fishing for his supper. They
wear a variety of armors made from the natural
products of the sea. Most prefer to entangle their
opponents with nets before either moving in to
finish them off with their tridents or dragging them
off to a suitable prison. When throwing tridents at
