Not sure where to put this, but a new video is out! They've got some new details about the giants! I'm very excited to learn more about the Unfallen Fomorians, among many others!
By the looks of it, the Unfallen Formorians are basically Eldritch Giants with hair.
This gives them a kind of beautiful magical feywild giants with prebuilt plothooks.
Tying Death Giants to the Ravenqueen is weird, do with do they ally with Shadar Kai? Death Giants traditionally have been the evillest, most predatory of giants.
The Scions are cool, basically quasi giants, but kind of steps on the toes of Empyreans, in fact Mad Mage had an Empyrean daughter of Thyrm and Auril, who oddly has better stats then her mom, whose an actual God, not just a quasi God.
Makes me wonder how they are going to update Empyreans in the 2024 MM, hopefully give them shapeshifting like Astral Devas and Couatls.
Mindflayer Ettin mixes too creepy things together.
Monsters throwing body parts seems to be a theme of the book.
I'm hoping not all of the Outer Planes themed Giants are fiends, a couple of Celestials would be cool too. Maybe the child of a Storm Giant or Cloud and an Empyrean?
The hulks don't really interest me, but the spellcasters with their targetable runes are innovative.
Should have had some templates, templates are under used.
Its weird how self impressed they are at the 70 stats.
