The first goliaths, also known as half-giants, lived on the highest mountain peaks — far above the tree line, where the air is thin and frigid winds howl. Born from the ancient coupling of mountain giants with humanoids, Goliaths carry with them the mountain hardiness and giants' sturdiness of their mountain giant ancestors, as well as the humanoid versatility of their humanoid ancestors.

Relations of other Races
Other giant-kin, such as Dwarves and Firbolgs, look upon Goliaths as kin and cousins.

Physical Appearance
Distantly related to giants and infused with the supernatural essence of their ancestors’ mountainous home, goliaths stand between 7 and 8 feet tall and have a wide array of skin tones resembling different types of stone.
