Homebrew Galgalim Species Details

They approached the camp cautiously, as they saw the strange giants move around the fire. They sang an otherworldly melody as the fire flickered different colors.

Galgalim are strange and monstrous creatures that live isolated from the rest of the world. They have strong ties to magic, being able to commune with the feywild. These towering people pray to the ancient fey and use strange rituals to predict the future. 

All Seeing Giants

These giants have anywhere from 3 to 10 eyes. Their strange appearance makes them menacing to any medium creature. Galgalim can be up to 10 feet tall and tower over any normal humanoid. The witches appear to have various animal features, anywhere from fangs, to talons, to tails.

Galgalim skin tones range from light tan to pure black. Their hair seems to have no limit on the tones it can take.

A Timeless Perspective

 

Galgalim have long lifespans, able to reach ages of 250. Their isolation, however, makes them rather stuck on their pagan traditions and unreceptive to other races.
