Look at what you've done. You spoiled it. You have nobody to blame but yourself. Go sit and think about your actions.
Don't be mean. Rudeness is a vicious cycle, and it has to stop somewhere. Exceptions for things that are funny. Go to the current Competition of the Finest 'Brews! It's a cool place where cool people make cool things.

Oh yes :-D Just realized how close my Vonindod is to what he describes.
This is an older version of my mosnter though. Here is the most recent version of it, including defensive runes representing the three other types of giants: https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/3682723-vonindod
The intent seems to have been to make an unstoppable foe, so it's hard to give high marks for "balance" or playability
The intent was to make an adamantine colossus built by giants as a dragon-slaying machine that is a challenging boss enemy for a party of level 20 adventurers. High-level gameplay exists in D&D 5e, even though not many people play at level 20 regularly. And enemies as powerful as that one are needed to challenge these high-level parties - which are expected to be geared up with legendary magic items and powerful spells.
Thanks to everybody for participating and voting in this iteration of the competition! Here are the winners!
DM Category: Fe Fi Fo Fum
The winner of this category was the tactical shrinking consumable, the Potion of Ant Strength by @Quar1on, with a total score of 7.1 (3.5/3.6)!
Player Category: Uncharted Adventuring
The winner of this category was the ranging, raging terrain master: the Path of the Trailblazer by @AntonSirius, with a total score of 6.4 (2.8/3.6)!
Interactive Category: Cat and Mouse
It comes as no surprise that the winner of this category is the master manipulator and rat gang associate, Don Repo by @ZomblesKlein with a total score of 7.1 (3.5/3.6)!
And now the winner of the Competition of the Finest Brews XVI…
Tying for the highest score among the winners of the categories, @ZomblesKlein and @Quar1on both have total scores of 7.1… however, ZomblesKlein submitted entries to the other two categories where Quar1on did not, making @ZomblesKlein the winner of the competition with a total combined score of 19.7 (6.3/7.1/6.3)!
Thank you again to everyone that participated, and congratulations to the winners! I hope to see you all in the next iteration, and I look forward to participating!
Side note: someone (I believe I know who) bombed the DM category to achieve a specific result, and failed. I am saddened by this, and I hope in the future for those responsible to make better decisions and vote responsibly, as well as that an announcement like this will not need to be made again. Thank you to everyone that voted responsibly.

To be fair, it is harder to judge balance at such high levels of play.

I wonder if I won the Cat and Mouse category
I am also here.

Really? I’d think it’d be pretty clear who’ll win….
Paladin main who spends most of his D&D time worldbuilding or DMing, not Paladin-ing.
You never can tell until all the votes are tallied. 😉
