Two massive heads peer over a ridge.

One head is shouting angrily, while the other looks confused and scratches its chin.

Both heads are attached to one giant body, covered in shaggygy fur with long arms that nearly reach the ground.

It stompes through the forest, crashing trees under its feet.

One head roars, eager to smash something, while the other head tries to pull back, shaking its head.

The ground trembles with each step as it argues with itself about which way to go.

The Etton.

Ettenes are giants with two heads.
