UMBRA GIANT

Umbra giants—known as shadow giants—are humanoid giants who dwell in the subterranean realm of the Deepshade. Standing at an average height of about 14 to 17 feet, they are lean and agile, with elongated limbs and fingers that almost blend into the darkness around them. Their leathery skin ranges from a deep, inky black to shades of grey, and their eyes glow with an otherworldly light. They are proud and solitary people, preferring to keep to the shadows and avoid contact with outsiders whenever possible, especially the drow cities.

Shadow giants are typically found in secluded areas and are known for their extensive network of hidden settlements and secret pathways. They have a rich ritualistic culture centered around manipulating darkness and shadows. They believe darkness contains great power and spend their time quietly studying and practicing their shadow magic.

Low-light Vision. Umbra giants can see perfectly in low light or complete darkness.

Silent Predators. Shadow giants are skilled at moving quietly and stealthily, making them excellent spies and assassins.

Occultists. Shadow giant shamans are rumored to be able to communicate with the spirits of the shadow realm and are often sought out for their knowledge of the occult.
