Monster Manual V

ELEMENTALMAGEKen-kuni, ken-li, ken-sunKen-lis are two-horned, ogrelike giants of keen insight andmalicious temperament. This behavior is tempered by anarrogance that prevents them from using their perceptivenessto the fullest.Without leadership of some kind, a ken-li lives to destroy,indulging that desire at every opportunity. Left to its whims,it burns villages, roasts herds of cattle, and torches forestssimply for enjoyment. When encountered alone, ken-lis arealmost always engaged in one of these rampages. Otherwise,they are found as troops in ken-sun armies, where they arekept under control.KEN-SUNA craggy, horned giant turns its baleful gaze upon you, blue lipscurling into a wicked smile and exposing sharp, serrated teeth. Itspale robe swirls around it as it gestures to summon its allies.Ken-Sun CR 13Usually LE Large giant (air)Init +7; Senses low-light vision; Listen +12, Spot +12Aura deflecting windsLanguages Common, GiantAC 21, touch 12, flat-footed 18( –1 size, +3 Dex, +9 natural)hp 161 (17 HD); fast healing 10Fort +15, Ref +8, Will +13Speed 50 ft.
