Hill Giants
Of all true giants, hill giants are the smallest and most
numerous. Hill giants are rather unintelligent brutes that rely
on brute strength, particularly against those much smaller
than it. Using their physical superiority, they often bully
smaller races into serving them out of fear of being devoured.
However, when they encounter creatures that are much
larger or more powerful than they are, they quickly become
servile minions for their new masters. Despite their limited
intelligence, hill giants can prove to be quite useful minions
thanks to their sheer size and strength.
Hill Giant Society
Although hill giants are typically known to reside in hills and
mountains, they have been known to make their homes
wherever they see fit, especially if they are able to assert their
dominance over smaller inhabitants. By their nature, they
tend to scavenge their domains to fashion makeshift
weapons, clothing, and homesteads out of trees, boulders, or
hide.
Hill giant society has a simple hierarchy, as the largest of
their kind is deemed the leader, as most hill giants equate
size with strength. This also makes them susceptible to
servitude to larger creatures, such as other giants or dragons.

Hill Giant Tactics
Hill giants are driven by their insatiable appetite. In most
circumstances, hill giants tend to travel in small packs of
4(1d6) roaming large berths of territory in search of anything
they deem edible. Despite traveling in packs, hill giants rarely
show any tactical coordination when on the hunt. In fact, hill
giants tend to flock together, only to make it easy for them to
spot their next meal. Once their target is identified, the hill
giants erupt into a free-for-all as each giant tries to gobble as
much food as it can.
Clumsy Fighter
Despite their bloated forms, hill giants are surprising agile
for their size and can easily overtake most prey. However,
despite their agility, hill giants are very clumsy fighters as
their primary tactics lie in recklessly throwing their weight at
their opponent. Despite their lack of skill, they can still be
quite dangerous due to their enormous size and bulk.
Battlefield Snackers
Their favorite tactic is to crush their prey under their weight,
either by stepping or sitting on their prey. Once immobilized,
they will resort to tearing their victim limb for limb. Once
their prey has been killed, hill giants have been known to
ignore all other threats in order to devour their victim
immediately, despite being in the heat of battle. Some experts
believe that this behavior is due to their ravenous hunger,
while others suggest it is a natural paranoia of having their
kill stolen by another hill giant.
