Category:Frost Giants

Few have ever encountered the Frost Giants that live upon the snow capped mountains to the north. This is simply because so few are ready and willing to die at the hands of these ferocious beasts. No one knows for certain how they came to live upon the snow covered mountains of Eibolen. Some believe they are the work of a wicked sorcerer that lives among the Frost Giants he created. Others believe they are born of those who lost their lives to the bitter cold and have come back as enraged beasts who despise the living. Some even believe that they are simply native beasts of the mountains. Some accounts exist of their appearance. They are hulking beasts with massive strength. They are also covered in a white fur that covers their entire body. Furthermore, they are quick to become enraged and strike. Though, those who have lived to tell their tale say that the Frost Giant was peaceful until they attacked the beast. Once enraged, the beast pursued its attackers until they could either slay the beast or they could escape the icy peak of the mountain. They appear to be weak to fire magic and flame enchanted weapons. In addition to this, they are quick to stagger when struck with weapons that require both hands to wield (such as hammers, axes and great swords). No one knows for certain what they eat or why they never leave the mountain peaks. Though, one account claims that the beasts were seen harvesting what appeared to be something like a gourd from beneath the ice and snow. No one knows what this gourd or plant might be or how it could possibly grow within the ice and snow, though.



If the tales hold true, you should never attack a frost giant because they are quick to become angered and will fight back ferociously. When attacking, it is advised to use either fire magic or flame enchanted weapons. Note that Frost giants are quick on their feet and very powerful so duck and dodge their attacks whenever possible. If you are quick and nimble on your feet, you may be able to outrun a frost giant. Though, this is considered very unlikely because most warriors are weighed down by their armor, weapons and potions. Additionally, frost giants can be staggered if you are striking with a two handed weapon because of the strength and power that is required to wield such weapons makes for a heavy enough strike to stun them. Generally, you should aim for the head of the beast if you are trying to stagger it. Staggering the beast should give you time to get in a few good strikes before they regain their senses.
