Goliath

Shortly after their evolution and enlightenment by Ioun, a human settlement near the southern pole was conquered by Frost Giants. These humans were used for a number of things; including as sport, as cattle, and by several rather curious giants, mates. The result of this crossing of Giant and Human were the Goliaths, still genetically human, though larger, slightly less intelligent and far less varied.
While Giants may be "Kin" to Goliaths, they hold no love for them, tending to lean more towards their human kin in temperment and tendancies. Goliaths do however, travel frequently, and form smaller communities that are migratory, generally avoiding large cities or settlements. These communities are called "Herds" by Goliaths, keeping the referrence to cattle given to them by their former Giant captors.
Unlike other humans, Goliaths tend to have a grayish skin tone, many with tribal tatoos adorning their faces, heads and torsos.
