Characteristics

Magmantes are giants that tower over humans as do their brethren, but pulse with the geothermal power of the earth itself. Their skin is a dull red that flares up along the extremities and through artery-like patterns over their bodies. Red hot rock juts out of their bodies asymmetrically, being on the crown of their skill, the left shoulder, and right forearm. Magmantes wear a finer fur than the Cyclops and Gigantes, being a grey pelt with a black, flame-like pattern. Their club is superior as well, being a bonafied beating stick and not just a tree yanked out of the ground.
