Physical Description
Firbolg come in many shapes and sizes, but they are, for the most part, fey humanoids with heavy bovidae influences. To this end they are closely related to
Minotaur on certain realms, and in others they have origins more closely tied to
Titanfolk, such as Giants.
Like Minotaur, and some goat-like Satyr, even the most human-looking Firbolg have wide noses and long, drooping ears. some have horns
Anything Special?
These do not change, unless you have the corresponding Ancestry Talent. All Firbolgs start with these.
