Homebrew Giganto Species Details

The Gigantos were one of the many races controlled by the Winglies in the time before the Dragon Campaign. The Gigantos made their home in Tiberoa in Home of the Gigantos.

It was Emperor Doel who rescued the lone surviving Giganto child, Kongol, and took him in as a ward.
