Creatures of Ithia Expanded: The Hork Rorg.

An Advanced Creature Profile by Vincent Groth.     

The Hork Rorg stand twenty-six feet tall of dark grey flesh. The Hork Rorg were made from a sliver of Haltheris’ bones, they can’t reproduce and can’t exist outside of the Horde or scavenge enough food to feed themselves. They have elongated arms and thick feet like an elephant. They have short, stubbed noses, thick brows that force their eyes to squint, and large wide mouths full of broken teeth like a hippo.  

The Hork Rorg are the strongest and biggest of the Giants. Able to pull down buildings, crash through formations, and throw heavy projectiles long distances. Their skulls are so thick almost nothing can damage them. 

Hork Rorgs serve as siege beasts and building cranes for lifting large amounts of supplies from the ground up high.  

The Hork Rorgs are dim having little to no intelligence, dull, and lacking any cunning they approach their problems head on with as much brute force as they can manage. They spend much of their time sleeping and eating to keep their bulk functioning and their joints wear out easily but as there are few ways to properly kill a Hork Rorg they are often maintained anyways. The only place one can deal significant damage to a Hork Rorg with physical weaponry of any kind is its eyes or extreme force to its joints.
