Ecology
Cave Giant is descended from the ancient ordning, occupying mountain holds, deep glaciers, or sky-realms above the clouds. It is most often found in underground regions. It is huge-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Cave Giant is proud, rank-conscious, and slow to anger — but devastating when roused. Its Chaotic Evil alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember.
Origin
Cave Giant is introduced in Kobold Press's Creature Codex (2018). Giant lineages trace to the ordning, the ancient hierarchy that placed each giant kind in cosmic rank below the gods. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
