Description

The handful of Mythological Figures treatments made which use A Touch More Class include Sherlock Holmes (the savant), Nikola Tesla (the tinkerer), and Billy the Kid (the gunfighter), but now we’re going for someone really big. A myth most certainly far too large to be contained in my poor-minstrelesque rambling prologue: the American folklore hero Paul Bunyan!

If you live in the US you know who Paul Bunyan is—a really, really, really big lumberjack accompanied by a blue ox called Babe . In true American fashion he’s said to have traipsed all over the country inadvertently creating national landmarks by dragging his axe along behind him, including the Grand Canyon, the 10,000 Lakes, and the Mississippi River. Anyone that’s from the northern states, particularly in the midwest, has probably driven by giant statues of Paul Bunyan and Babe.

Monster Type Description

Giants look like immense humanoids, standing from 10 feet tall (like ogres ) to 30 (like storm giants ). Some giants, like trolls , have human-like shapes but monstrous features.
