[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7451582, member: 23"] I see a lot of talk of giants - it was just an example I gave :) I don't expect the players to know the CR of the monsters (or if they do, to act on that knowledge). But (if we go back to the fire giants haha), if the PCs see giants - they will see that they are *huge*, strong looking and well armed. Some of them may have heard stories that fire giants are particularly fierce. So roleplaying wise, the characters can make a decision. If the monster is unfamiliar to the players, then the description can help (it's huge! covered in spines!) and skill checks from the PCs can also assist (Your readings have told you that this jungle is considered particularly dangerous due to the abundance of evil spirits, but also of worms of enormous size who are fierce predators. This is probably one such worm) [/QUOTE]
