Looks good!

Updated. In addition to my previous "what's left" post, we'll need to name this fella.

English? Different language?

Living Hill
Hill Glutton/Glutton Hill
Twilight Jotun

Norwegian
hill - ås, bakke
river - elv, flod
twilight - skumring
giant - rise, kjempe, kjempemessig
glutton - fråtser, jerv
living (as in living hill) - levebrød, livsførsel, levende

Icelandic
hill - ?
river - ?
twilight - rökkur, ljósaskipti
giant - risi
glutton - ?
living - ?
(Some should fill in the gaps here, I think )

Swedish
hill - kulle, backe
river - å, flod, älv
twilight - skymning
giant - jätte
glutton - ?
living - levande, uppehälle, utkomst, existens, levebröd

Forgive me from wandering in out of nowhere, but I was bored.

Forgive me if I'm wrong. . .

But shouldn't the AC be 10 higher?

AC: 28 (–4 size, -2 Dex, +34 natural)

It looks like you didn't account for the 10 base.

Old Norse ( http://hem.passagen.se/peter9/gram/index.html )
hill - berg (mountain), hlíð
river - elfr
twilight - ?
giant - jötunn, þurs
glutton - ?
living - lifa ?

Good catch. I've fixed it now.

Wander in anytime.

twilight - skumring

Wow...skumring sounds perfect.

The giant probably leaves a "skumring" around the sides of the tub when he gets out.

But more seriously, using Norwegian "twilight river glutton"....

Skumringelvjerv

or mixing and matching with old Norse...

Skumringelvbergjotun ("twilight river hill giant")

...shortening to....

Skelvbergjotun

Other ideas?

 

[Conaill]

A few more words for the mix... Hunger/hungry in various languages:

Norwegian: sult / sulten
Old Norse: sultr (sultær)
Swedish: hungra, hunger / hungrig
Old Icelandic: svengd, sultr / van-mettr, sólginn (voracious!)

And filling in some of those gaps in Old Icelandic:
hill - borg, hóll
hill-giant - bergrisi
river - elfr, ár- (of a river)
twilight - rökkur, ljósaskipti
giant - risi
glutton - matkrákr, etari (great eater)
living - lifandis (alive), lifðr, lifinn

 

[Conaill]

voracious in Swedish: glupsk

voracious hill: glupskulle - sounds pretty good, no?

 

[Shade]

Not bad. We've got two names for a poll. Keep 'em coming.

"Twilight glutton" in Old Icelandic gives an almost Abyssal-sounding name: rokkuretari

Suggestions for giant's bag text:

A GIANT's bag usually contains 1d4 throwing rocks, 3d4 mundane items, and the giant's personal wealth. These possessions tend to be muddy or algae-covered. These items tend to be fishing gear, woodsman's gear, and tools for weaving nets.
