[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9263642, member: 57383"] Yes, it's weird how they leave out a lot of basic stuff. Although the 5E Monster Manual does have a decent amount of background fluff on its monsters compared to, say, the first couple of 4E Monster Manuals. However, giants are one of the few monsters that 5E bothered giving heights for, it's just the Fifth Edition's [i]Monster Manual[/i] buried that information at the bottom of page 153 rather than mention it in any of the giant's descriptions! In case you're curious, 5E gives giants exactly the same heights as 2E AD&D does: 16′ Hill; 18′ Fire & Stone; 21′Frost; 24′ Cloud; 26′ Storm. Okay, so are you fine with the various texts as they are? Came up with some minor polishing of the Giant Damselfly Naiad's Description, and am thinking about whipping up a Swarm of Giant Damselflies entry, but that shouldn't take long. Think I'd better put these insects to bed soon before I come up with something more to add to them! Then we can start on the Mystaran Dragon Flies. [/QUOTE]
