Homebrew Cloud Goliath Species Details

The first goliaths lived on the highest mountain peaks—far above the tree line, where the air is thin and frigid winds howl. Distantly related to giants and infused with the supernatural essence of their ancestors’ mountainous home, goliaths stand between 7 and 8 feet tall and have a wide array of skin tones resembling different types of stone.

High in social standing among Goliaths, Cloud Goliaths claim their giant lineage back to the affluent Cloud Giants. The patron god and father of the cloud giants is Memnor the Trickster, the cleverest and slyest of the giant deities. Cloud goliaths worship the god of their giant ancestors, modeling themselves after Memnor, with evil cloud goliaths emulating his deceitfulness and self-interest and good cloud goliaths emulating his intellect and silver-tongued speech. Family members usually align in the same direction.
