I'm a big fan of semi-human monsters. Not necessarily monsters who are part human and part something else, but monsters and characters who have similar anatomical features. A method of creating striking character design is to take normal human anatomy, and push it.
When I had the opportunity to create a new monster for our DnD campaign, I leapt at the chance to design something new.
The Forest Giant is semi-human looking boulder supported by long limbs. I wanted to create something otherworldly, something ancient, something that might rise out of the forest floor.
“Forest giants wander in the deep forests of hills and mountain slopes, usually alone. Resembling more like giant boulders with gnarled roots rather than large humans, forest giants are more different from normal giants than they are alike. It’s postulated that Forest Giants are actually a speciation of treants, but with rocks incorporated into their body.”
