Homebrew Eldritch Giant Species Details

Eldritch giants were a breed of giant with formidable magical ability and a obsession with collecting arcane lore. They were formerly even more powerful creatures who lost much of their power. Their relation to true giants was unknown. Eldritch giants had skin tinged with a faint purple and light colored hair. Their eyes subtly changed colors between blue, green, and violet. Adults stood about 25 feet tall and weighed around 13,000 pounds. Some eldritch giants had tattoos of arcane symbols that covered their whole bodies. 

Eldritch giants had a number of innate magical abilities, namely that they could detect and dispel powerful magic, as well attack with magic missiles. Additionally, they could create dimension doors or a globe of invulnerability. Their study of arcane lore also gave them the ability to use many magical items much like a wizard could, and they had a strong resistance to illusions and mental manipulation due to their powerful wills.

The arcane tattoos that some eldritch giants possessed allowed them to absorb conjurations and zones of magic and then use the energy to bolster their own attacks. These tattoos were even said to allow eldritch giants to teleport along flows of magic energy.
