Sea giants are gentle, aquatic proto-being
giants created by the titans to help them dredge out the seas and lift the land
from the sea floor of Azeroth.
Description
Titans created the sea giants to dredge the
oceans and to serve as guardians of Azeroth’s coastlines and oceans, and the
fierce giants act as protectors of the waters even now. They keep a wary eye on
ships and upon those who make their living on the ocean, such as fisherfolk.
While not evil creatures, sea giants care nothing for the laws of land dwellers
or the lives of the small beings that trespass in the waves. They tolerate no
opposition — on the rare occasion when a sea giant issues a warning, he does so
only once. Sea giants rarely interact with other races save to drive off
trespassers or punish those who befoul the oceans. They live underwater but
rise regularly to patrol their coastlines. Ancient and wise, sea giants
nonetheless display a chaotic nature as unpredictable as the sea itself. Still,
adventurers who tread carefully and speak convincingly may find a sea giant
willing to trade information or secure safe passage in exchange for treasure or
knowledge. Sea giants sometimes build underground settlements of coral and
stone, though they rarely put much effort into such constructions. As guardians
of the waves, they prefer to be able to pick up and leave at a moment’s notice
to chase rumours of defilers.
Sea giants are tasked to keep the oceans clean
and safe. They seldom make their way to the surface world, instead preferring
the isolation of the ocean bottom. They enjoy the worship of murlocs, but are
the constant enemy of the naga. Of late, sea giants have taken to hunting out
these corrupters, which has brought the sea giants closer and closer to the
surface world. They stand around 18 feet tall and weigh about 10,000 pounds.
Nomadic creatures, sea giants do not maintain lairs like others of their kind.
Instead, they drag their belongings and wealth along with them in huge sacks
crafted from the sails of sunken ships. Their watery home does not allow them
to keep many goods, so they favour metals that will survive the ocean depths.
Sea giants are not refined in their
tactics. If on land, they will simply rush their target and try to stomp it out
of existence. At sea, they will use their club or command of water to destroy
their opponents. Once engaged in combat, they will fight to the death in their
anger. Sea giants can hurl boulders, but they prefer close combat. A sea giant
begins combat with a slam attack (using its Bash feat) against the nearest
opponent; if surrounded, he chooses the target who seems the largest or
strongest. He then switches to his heavy pick and attacks the next-nearest opponent.
He uses his Power Attack and Reckless Attack feats to their fullest degrees,
hoping to kill an enemy outright and then Cleave into the next; he generally
positions himself near multiple foes, if possible, so that he can use his Great
Cleave feat.
Few remain, and those that do may attack
you if you encounter them.
The sea giants of Stranglethorn Vale are
particularly malevolent: they are known for deliberately sinking ships and
stealing their loot.
Culture
Azeroth's sea giants venerate Golganneth
and hold small ceremonies several times a year in his honor. These ceremonies
involve the crafting and sounding of musical horns and the feeding of small
fish.
