Fomorians are evil, hideously deformed giants who live in mountain caves and other underground lairs. Their society is ruled by wickedness; the most ruthless and cruel fomorian rules over the othes, and the women and children are slaves to the males.
No two fomorians are the same; each possesses a different set of deformities, possibly including: misplaced limb, misshapen limb, misplaced facial feature, hunchbacked, bulging body part, drooping flesh, body part too big or too small, flapping ears, huge snout, large feet on short legs. They all have pale white skin, some with large warts or other growths scattered about, and patches of tough wiry hair of any color.
Fomorians stand around 13 1/2 feet tall, and on average weigh about 4,000 pounds.
Fomorians speak Common and Giant, in voices ranging from deep and rumbling to high pitched and wheezy.
Combat
Fomorians use clubs and other blunt weapons, including their fists. In spite of their size, fomorians are adept at stealth, and they will attack from hiding whenever possible.
Skills: *Fomorians receive a +1 racial bonus on Spot and Listen checks, due to the strange placement of eyes and ears on their heads.
