b'Giant, Laestrigonian \n'b'  Family:   Giant  \n'b' Dressed in ragged skirts or makeshift togas stitched from sailcloth and human skin, sporting tangled beards and hair caked with blood and filth, and with its teeth filed to points, a Laestrigonian giant is a mad horror to behold. \n'b'  Large   giant ,  chaotic evil  \n'b'  Armor Class  13 (natural armor)  Hit Points  95 (10d10 + 40)  Speed  40 ft.\n'b' STATS STR: 20 (+5) DEX:  14 (+2)  CON:  18 (+4)  INT:  9 (-1)  WIS:  11 (+0)  CHA:  8 (-1)  \n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'     Senses  passive  Perception  10  Languages  Common, Giant  Challenge  4 (1,100 XP) \n'b' Actions \n'b'   Multiattack .

From a distance, a Laestrigonian giant resembles a  human  of normal proportions, though standing some ten feet tall. At closer range, however, a visible insanity inhabits its eyes-bloodlust is never far from a Laestrigonian giant. \n'b'  Ship Wreckers . Laestrigonians dwell near natural harbors whose waters conceal jagged reefs and shoals. By various deceptions, they lure ships onto the hidden reefs and rocks, often the very same hazards that made them castaways. When escape becomes impossible, they run down and slaughter the shipwrecked sailors who attempt to come ashore in the surf. \n'b'  Cursed by the Gods . Castaways who violate the taboo against cannibalism sometimes undergo a monstrous transformation resulting from of an ancient curse. When the curse takes hold, the accursed grows in size and gains the ability to go without sustenance for long periods of time. However, it loses all desire to eat anything but  humanoid  creatures and can barely digest anything else. A Laestrigonian giant is not, however, long-lived; it remains susceptible to the diseases and parasites that accompany cannibalism, a diet of raw meat, and a lack of other sustenance. Nevertheless, death for a Laestrigonian usually comes at the hands of its fellows.'
