Giant striders dwell in rocky, desert or volcanic regions, enjoying the heat and vapors produced in that sort of terrain. [B]Firenewt Mounts:[/B] Few giant striders live independently in the wild. Instead, most are kept as domesticated herds by firenewts, who use them as mounts or, in times of privation, food.

[B]Striding Mount (mount)[/B] While ridden by a friendly creature of its level or higher, a giant strider may shift 1 additional square each time it shifts.
