While some are tricksters and manipulators—perhaps using enlarge person to grow to Huge size and trick travelers into thinking they’re cloud giants—many act as support and artillery for their tribe’s raiders, killing at a distance with the power of a storm or increasing their allies’ size and ferocity. As powerful as sorcerers may be, frost giant society still places more value in physical strength and melee prowess, meaning sorcerers are usually advisors rather than leaders.Creatures in "Giant (Frost)" CategoryThis giant looks like a thick, muscular human. It has frost-white skin and long, light blue hair that it wears braided.
