Moss Giant
A towering forest giant draped in living moss and tangled vines, ancient as the trees themselves.
Standing nearly three stories tall, the moss giant is as much plant as it is flesh. Thick layers of moss, lichen, and creeping vines cover its rocky hide, and small saplings sprout from its shoulders. It moves through the deep forest with surprising quiet for its size, blending into the canopy until it brings its enormous wooden club crashing down. The entangling vines that grow from its body have a will of their own, snaking out to root unwary travelers in place. Forest druids say the moss giants are guardians of the old growth, but they don't seem to distinguish between loggers and lost adventurers.
