Traits and Abilities

Other Notes

  • Due to the ???'s proximity to the usual patrol paths of the Demersal Gigas, as well as their respawn rate, having one of them link onto the mages is a fairly common occurence. Anyone not fighting at the wall should keep watch for any unexpected rocks flung at them and be prepared to Sleep.

Derivations

In literature, Grandgousier (French: grand gosier, "Big Throat") is the husband of Gargamelle, the daughter of the King of Papillons, and the father of Gargantua.

A Rabelaisien character par excellence, he has an appreciation of all of life's pleasures, like good living, good food. Rabelais has him represent a stereotypical wise good king, in apposition to the revengefully mad bad king of Picrochole. Grandgousier advocates peace and discussion over war and greed.
