Once in a great while, a frost giant is born who will strike fear throughout the northern tundra. Thrag is one such giant, and he stands nearly 17 ft. tall. He has skin as gray as smoke and eyes as black as coal. The lore about him is such that any giant that has such physical characteristics sends any but the most stalwart of heroes fleeing. Thrag takes no prisoners and destroys for the pleasure of it.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Smite Good (Su) Once per day, as a swift action, Thrag can smite good as the smite evil ability of a 14th-level paladin, except affecting a good target. The smite persists until target is dead or Thrag rests.

Mountain Breaker (+ 2 greataxe of dwarf bane) This axe is crafted from the arms and armor of one of the frost giants’ most hated enemies: the dwarves. Its blade is an amalgamation of dwarven armor pieces and broken weapons forged into a greataxe. Only the fiercest and most courageous frost giants wield this axe. In frost giant culture, this weapon is never given to another—it is taken from the hands of dead former wielders.

Plot Hook: Mountain Breaker has recently been spotted in the hands of a very powerful frost giant raider named Thrag Ice-Breaker. Word of this has gotten back to the dwarven king, who has promised anybody who returns the axe to him a vast reward of gold and gems.
