Ettins

Ettins are a breed of two-headed gigantic humanoids who appeared in the first days of Sosaria as well as throughout the early Britannian Age of Enlightenment. While they are capable of some manner of speech and use crude weapons and clothing, little evidence has been brought to light of these creatures as having any culture aside from violent brutality.

Description
Ettins were first encountered in ancient Sosaria as a subterranean race, existing exclusively in the dungeons of the wild realm of that age. Whether such beasts originated there or, like the cyclopes, were forced there by  mankind is not known.

In later eras they expanded into the over lands and underworlds alike, attacking travelers in packs - at times accompanied by gazers, daemons, balrons, or zorn. It is uncertain what sparked such motley alliances of creatures, although as the landscape of Britannia grew less dangerous with the passage of time, several of these races, including the ettins, vanished from sight.
