Fomorians were a race of giant-kin hideously deformed by an ancient curse, considered to be the most hideous and wicked of all the giant races.
The deformities that fomorians had varied widely between individuals. These included such things as randomly distributed facial features (e.g., eyes on the sides of their head), disproportionate or crooked limbs, humpbacks, long pointed heads, flapping ears, large noses, or mouths that were either gaping or tiny. General features shared by all fomorians was a skin tone that ranged from purple-gray to pale-white, varying degrees of large warts scattered across their body and one eye that was larger than other. This eye, known as their "evil eye," had a cat-like iris and varied in color.
Due to sometimes having enlarged ears and/or noses, as well as the grotesque positioning of their sensory organs, fomorians possessed keen perceptive abilities that made it hard to sneak up on them. Their deformities were also said to render them immune to all forms of
lycanthropy.
