Toska the Giant Broo

First Impressions

Very human-looking broo, but 6m tall, large rams' horns. Finely groomed grey fur. Appearance is confusing, making your eyes water and he wears leathery clothing except on the legs, which are crude scale. He bears a maul.

Referee Only

Originally a giant who took a Chaos Feature and hit that 5% chance of mutating into a broo, Toska has the powers of both. No doubt your players had been wondering about those 2-foot deep giant cloven tracks... well now they can investigate more deeply.

Toska is concerned about his drastic changes, not expecting his Chaos Blessing to make him difficult to look at let alone the more drastic mutation to goatkin. His head still resembles his old features though, so he is ot entirely unhappy. He is too cleanly to carry a disease and has various grooming tools such as an ornate comb for his fur, a huge mirror (very expensive, worth a lot, but 7 seconds' bad luck to the doomed PC who breaks it), a polishing kit for his armour etc. His horns are finely burnished. His ambition is to own a sword suitable for one of his stature, but Gloranthan metallurgy just isn't up to it. He may question PCs as to the location of good weaponsmiths, and spare females who darn his clothing.

Feared by local broo (and everything else), he is essentially a loner who despises the common rabble of chaos. He quite admires vampires, though, they've got Class; they like him, because he sometimes lets them feed off him if they're short a few pints and he's still there the next week. Your teeth blunt on his skin, though. He has been having friendly talks with them of late. If his lifespan is unchanged (giants live centuries), there is little point becoming a vampire. If it is now the broo norm of 30-40 (he's already 40), it might be worth becoming a vampire... doubling his STR and CON... but this may lead to a drastic blood shortage for the rest of the coven!

Character Traits

Dislikes other giants who cast him out when he changed species.

Typical Catchphrases

"Am I not handsome?"
"Your choices are: fight and die, run and die, or choose one of your party as an offering for me!" [He enjoys setting parties against each other thus. He will eat the "offering". Got any mule skinners?]
"Where did you get that fine sword?"
"ARE YOU DAMAGING MY ARMOUR?" [To Little People who hit him.]
