Giff
Most scholars believed them to have one world of origin, but the original home world of the giff was long forgotten. For as long as any of them knew, they simply traveled the wildspace of the various crystal spheres, offering their services to those who could provide them with food or interesting weapons.
Some claimed that the home world had been destroyed in a great explosion caused by accident. Others said that they sold their own planet. Whatever the truth, the giff's own legends claim that their world was a beautiful, thick jungle filled with swamps and luscious fruit trees, with mountains that could be mined for metal and smokepowder.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Most people described Giff as humanoid hippopotamus. Giff had powerful muscles over stocky and broad frames. They were shorter than ogres, standing around eight or nine feet tall, but more massive. A giff's head and snout were covered with thick plates of chitin. They had a range of skin colors, including (most commonly) gray, black, and gold.
Giff often decorated their skin with colorful tattoos related to their accomplishments and victories. They always dressed in uniforms or elaborate and strong armor and often carried multiple firearms on their persons.
Additional Information
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Similarly to dwarves, giff had a mild but innate resistance to magic and were incapable of casting magic spells themselves This could hamper the effectiveness of using such spells as greater restoration on incapacitated giff, though it was possible to circumvent in times of need with Herb Tea 33-Alpha.
