Fresh from the drawing table... Ram (Giant)!

I have for you another drawing that is fresh from the drawing table. This time around it is a RAM (Giant)! Since "Q" was completely dealt with on the first pass we just ahead from "P" to "R". With all the options to choose from the Giant Ram unexpectedly found itself floating to the top of my choices. Currently just not feeling up to tackling kitty cat men with backwards hands... maybe next time. I present to you my version of a Ram (Giant)…       

Ram (Giant)

There are certain giant versions of animals that just really lend themselves to becoming good stand alone scary monsters... a wasp, octopus, or ant spider all perfect scary giant animal monsters. While on paper a giant sheep... or ram, might seem like a scary animal... it still is just a sheep. But you put a humanoid on the ram... you have the cunning of a man creature with the size, strength and natural weapons of a GIANT RAM... now you got yourself something to worry your players. I also just didn't want to make this into some kind of mutant or abomination to add to its menace as a giant creature, there will be plenty of that to come, I wanted to make a big giant - while completely normal - version of this animal. They just seem to grow them really big up north in the land of eternal snow...
