Giffs are monstrous humanoids, with stocky, flat, cylindrical legs and a humanoid torso, arms and fingers. The chest is broad and supports a neckless head that looks like a hippopotamus's. Giff's coloration varies from black to gray to a rich gold, however many have colorful tattoos that leave their bodies a patchwork record of past jobs and victories.
Play a giff if you want...
