I really wish the MM listed a creature's weight. Most entries in the MM have a note about the creature's height, but nothing about its weight.
Huh? It's right there in almost every single entry, and usually right at the beginning. To use the title of your thread as an example...
From the SRD:
"Cloud giants’ skin ranges in color from milky white to light sky blue. Their hair is silvery white or brass, and their eyes are iridescent blue. Adult males are about 18 feet tall and
weigh about 5,000 pounds. Females are slightly shorter and lighter. Cloud giants can live to be 400 years old."
"Some fire giants have bright orange hair.. An adult male is 12 feet tall, has a chest that measures 9 feet around, and
weighs about 7,000 pounds. Females are slightly shorter and lighter. Fire giants can live to be 350 years old."
"A frost giant’s hair can be light blue or dirty yellow, and its eyes usually match its hair color. Frost giants dress in skins and pelts, along with any jewelry they own. Frost giant warriors add chain shirts and metal helmets decorated with horns or feathers.
An adult male is about 15 feet tall and
weighs about 2,800 pounds. Females are slightly shorter and lighter, but otherwise identical with males. Frost giants can live to be 250 years old."
"Skin color among hill giants ranges from light tan to deep ruddy brown. Their hair is brown or black, with eyes the same color. Hill giants wear layers of crudely prepared hides with the fur left on. They seldom wash or repair their garments, preferring to simply add more hides as their old ones wear out.
Adults are about 10-1/2 feet tall and
weigh about 1,100 pounds. Hill giants can live to be 200 years old."
"Stone giants prefer thick leather garments, dyed in shades of brown and gray to match the stone around them. Adults are about 12 feet tall and
weigh about 1,500 pounds. Stone giants can live to be 800 years old."
"Very rarely, storm giants have violet skin. Violet-skinned storm giants have deep violet or blue-black hair with silvery gray or purple eyes. Adults are about 21 feet tall and
weigh about 12,000 pounds. Storm giants can live to be 600 years old. Storm giants’ garb is usually a short, loose tunic belted at the waist, sandals or bare feet, and a headband. They wear a few pieces of simple but finely crafted jewelry, anklets (favored by barefoot giants), rings, or circlets being most common. They live quiet, reflective lives and spend their time musing about the world, composing and playing music, and tilling their land or gathering food."
