DnD Monsters: Cyclopses, Ettins, Fomorians, ogres, and Trolls

Episode Description

This episode covers a lot of ground—mostly because the things we're talking about have very large feet and very little impulse control. We’re diving into the "not-quite-giants" of the D&D multiverse: Cyclopses, Ettins, Fomorians, Ogres, and Trolls.

From the "two heads are better than one" (unless they're arguing about who gets to eat the halfling) logic of the Ettin, to the "I’ll heal that later" biological horror of the Troll, we explore why these creatures are the backbone of every classic dungeon crawl. We also take a dark turn into the Feywild to discuss the Fomorians—the fallen royalty of the giant-kin—and why their "Evil Eye" is a lot worse than just a judgmental look from your DM.
