Rübezahl the trickster giant

[viznew]

In legends, Rübezahl appears as a capricious giant, gnome, or mountain spirit. With good people he is friendly, teaching them medicine and giving them presents. If someone derides him, however, he exacts a severe revenge. He sometimes plays the role of a trickster in folk tales.[2]

i propose a giant that roams the mountains like the troll but slow and stronger and if feed alot will heal but if not feed enough he atks


The stories originate from pagan times. Rübezahl is the fantastic Lord of Weather of the mountains and is similar to the Wild Hunt. Unexpectedly or playfully, he sends lightning and thunder, fog, rain and snow from the mountain above, even while the sun is shining. He may take the appearance of a monk in a gray frock (like Wotan in his mantel of clouds); he holds a stringed instrument in his hand (the storm harp), and walks so heavily that the earth trembles around him.[citation needed]

he walks around slowly playing a harp,and has a gray frock and strom harp that only only be obtained by killing the giant but wont drop alot


Near Mount Sněžka on the Czech-Polish border a botanical locality with an especially large variety of plants bears the name "Rübezahl's Garden". Some unusual stone buildings in the area are named after him as well, for example the Rübezahlkanzel an den Schneegruben.

as he slowly walks around on occasion he could plant some unusual plants (some heal some are amazing food or curio) and some high q normal plants


In Czech local fairytales Rübezahl (Czech: Krakonoš) gave sourdough to people and invented traditional regional soup kyselo.[4] There is also mountain named Kotel (Polish: Kocioł, German: Kesselkoppe) which means cauldron. When fog rises from valley at bottom of the Kotel, people say that Rübezahl is cooking the kyselo.[5]

some of the plant has the recipe for a sourdough or the kyselo soup

Might actually be interesting, having legendary creature roaming around the hearthlands. There should be some sort of way to tell if one has been in the area where you are though, maybe a tracking system similar to scents?

Wurm was amazing because of those giants, ettins and dragons.
You would never personally encounter one unless you were pretty developed politically and got invited as part of the raid, but just knowing that massive legendary beasts roam the same land as you was enticing.

mabye by following the trail of unusual and high q plants is how you can track him?

and you know your close when you hear his harp?
