Vangrimaul
Vangrimaul is a giant who lives in the
Shattered Mountains. He is easily recognizable by his two great horns that
sprout from his head and curve forward, like a bull. He also has a great mane of
tawny golden fur. He resemblances a giant walking horned lion more than anything
else. His muscular frame stands 22 feet tall and he weights about 9000 pounds.
His immense strength has spawned some local legends and it is said he can uproot
a fully grown tree with his bare hands.
Vangrimaul hates the black dragon known as Spittle and he spends much of his
time roaming the Shattered Mountains hunting the drake. They have had several
legendary battles, but Vangrimaul has never been able to defeat the dragon. He
has a number of terrible burns on his body and face as a result of these
encounters. It is not known why he hates the dragon and is so determined to kill
it. It is widely suspected that his thick skin is somewhat resistant to acid and
fire and this would explain why he has been able to survive direct hits by
Spittles terrible breath weapon.
The local myrian tribes do their best to avoid Vangrimaul and he has a terrible
tempter and has been known to kill myrians and other humanoids out of spite.
