With Dark Places and Demogorgons on Kickstarter for Old School Essentials I decided to kick OSE's tires a bit. I'm in a John Carter kind of mood which brought me to the Burnt World of Athas, better known as Dark Sun. I've also been reading through 13th Age and really enjoy its monster design and dice tricks so I'm using that as additional design space.

They are tall, slim, humanoid giants with four arms and two legs generally with an orange to brown skin tone due to the harsh sun of Athas. They stand 15' tall and have sharp, angular features and pointed ears often with numerous piercings. In the wild they are cautious raiders who often flee when they begin taking casualties. Those that are captured invariably end up gladiators in the many arenas of each City-State.
