Hill Giant (Giant-Kin)

Hill Giants are a smaller race of Giant-Kin, ranging between 11 to 13 feet in height (on average). Although not as intelligent as the average human, don't let their slow mentality fool You. They're supreme survivors, capable of living through any myriad of pressures that might be placed upon them, and their strength of familial bonds can sometimes turn a surprise run in with one from what looked at first like an unfortunate circumstance, into an inevitable death by boulder squashing.
Within the Mydyre Confederacy, Hill Giants are often used as personal body guards of many of the higher ranking officers, and if a point must be made to the Confederacy's enemies, nothing quite drives a point home, as well as a Hill Giant with superhuman strength and the willingness to abuse it...
