Sea Giants

Sea Giants are one of the five subspecies of True Giants, named for their deep sea habitats and elemental affinity for water. Sea Giants are some of the most elusive and least documented subspecies of Giant. They are believed to be solitary people, preferring to live alone rather than in communities like other True Giants, only interacting with others to mate or trade. They also avoid populated settlements of people and Merfolk, though there are records of trade between people and Sea Giants. The friendliness of a Sea Giant seems to depend on the individual.

Sea Giants tend to live in coastal or deep underwater caves, usually in isolated areas. Of those discovered, their homes tend to be simple and well decorated, filled with plants, coral and wildlife, along with tools and scavenged pieces of shipwrecks. Sea Giants are also known to hunt Sea Dragons, as well as sea monsters, like Sea Serpents and Krakens, using massive spears and harpoon-like weapons. Their hunt spoils can also be found decorating their homes.

Sea Giants have been observed slowly walking across the sea floor instead of swimming, they have only been observed swimming at high speeds in short bursts. While many Sea Giants live underwater, some autopsies seem to suggest that they aren’t completely amphibious, with many scholars speculating that they must have to surface for air. But the frequency of this is unknown.

Appearance

Sea Giants are large bodied, muscular but rounded in shape, covered in a thick blubber, and stand around 25 feet tall. Their skin ranges blue and green, commonly covered in barnacles and growing sea weed. Their eyes are a clear pupiless blue. Sea Giants have tentacle and fin-like appendages, and some have long hair of a green, grey or white colour, with only the males of the species possessing beards. Elder Sea Giants seem to lose their hair as they age, becoming hairless, and some have been seen with tentacle-like beards.

Sea Giants dress very sparingly, and are often nude, though sometimes they can be seen wearing ship hulls or scraps of clothing made out of underwater plants or animal hide. Sea Giants also tend to decorate themselves with shells, ship parts and animal parts from their hunts.
