During video, Wyatt talked about some of the new monsters that would appear in the book’s bestiary, including demon-worshipping giants who take on aspects of their fiendish masters and become demons themselves. As Wyatt spoke about the bestiary, images of two new giants were shown in the video. The first is what appears to be a giant who has taken on aspects of the demon lord Demogorgon, with two heads and tentacles for arms. The second image shows off what appears to be a ceremorphized giant, that has been partially transformed into a mind flayer. You can check out both new monsters below:ย
The video also confirmed that Glory of the Giants will have two new giant-themed backgrounds, one of which will allow players to create a character who is a giant foundling and lived among giants and the other is a runecarver who can tap into the magic of giants by using runes. There will also be a giant-themed barbarian subclass in the book. You can view the full video for the rulebook down below:ย
