Marsh Giant High Priest (Marsh Giant Cleric 10)

This creature has the bulbous eyes of a fish, and his mottled green skin glistens with slime where it isn’t bedecked in gaudy jewelry.

BACKGROUND

This grotesque marsh giant is the high priest of a large tribe. His reputation has spread throughout the entire wetlands, and he regards himself as the unofficial ruler of all marsh giants. He earned notoriety by bringing many goblins under his heel and establishing relations with the swamp’s boggards. Little occurs among the marsh giants that the high priest does not command (or at least tolerate).

The high priest’s swamp hovel is not grand, but in the muck around his shack, he secretly conceals prizes scavenged from the tribe’s victims. He also keeps a cage of shocker lizards outside his home, having become addicted to the jolts he receives when chewing the creatures.
