History:
Most people described giff as humanoid hippopotami. Giff had powerful muscles over stocky and broad frames. They
were shorter than ogres, standing around eight or nine feet tall, but more massive. A giff's head and snout were
covered with thick plates of chitin. They had a range of skin colors, including (most commonly) gray, black, and gold.

Giff often decorated their skin with colorful tattoos related to their accomplishments and victories. They always
dressed in uniforms or elaborate and strong armor and often carried multiple firearms on their persons.
Giff had excellent reflexes and a surprising grace when moving. They were exceptionally strong and tough- as strong
as a hill giant- but neither very intelligent or wise. There was no difference in strength or combat prowess between
males and females.

Although they had powerful tusk-filled jaws, giff were essentially herbivores, though they could eat meat.
Similarly to dwarves, giff once had a mild but innate resistance to magic and were incapable of casting magic spells
themselves.

Giff lived rigid lives of order and obedience to a chain of command. They actually took great pleasure from following
orders. A giff always kept its promises. A common hobby among giff was the maintenance of armor.

Giff had no desire to become an empire, but they did enjoy traveling. They did not tend to have any love of money;
food was far more important to them. The typical giff, however, had a great love of weapons, especially firearms and
explosives, favoring the biggest explosions the most. Some giff would also keep large collections of pole arms from
the various worlds that they had visited in their travels.
Giff were fearful of magic, but they tolerated its use in spelljamming, as it was the only way one could travel from
world to world. They always relied on others to power spelljammer helms for them.
