Lumpen is an unfortunate and uncoordinated Earth elemental, who has been 'living wild' since being called to the Material Plane many centuries ago. He does not understand 'living' things, or the need to eat, or sleep, but is very curious. He is also a complete coward, and will flee if threatened.
Lumpen towers over most humanoids at about 16 feet tall and over 5,000 pounds, but is covered with moss and dirt. If spotted, he will often try (very poorly) to hide, or just hunker down and 'pretend' to be a rock for a few days. Those who wish to befriend the gentle giant will need to have patience and a calm demeanor. Statistics: Lumpen is a Large Earth Elemental with an Intelligence score of about 8. His eyes are gleaming black obsidians, giving him a very soulful look. When he speaks, which is rare, he sounds like a harmonic rumble from deep within. How you can use Lumpen in your game: - Townsfolk who have witnessed Lumpen in the woods might call for adventurers to hunt the giant who is no doubt coming for their farms RIGHT NOW! Those with a little curiosity will find that Lumpen was merely attempting to get to meet their cows, who were unafraid of him. - Finding Lumpen a secure place in the woods where he won't be at threat could be a quest for friendly PCs, whether that involves locating a suitable area, clearing out the region of threats, or fighting off a Xorn that comes hunting for the tasty rock-creature. Those who win his friendship might find his talents at earth-shaping to be tremendously helpful. - Finally, a powerful PC might attempt to help Lumpen to return home to the Earth elemental plane. Although he will appreciate the assistance, he can do little against the monstrous creatures that lair here and will threaten those who attempt to bridge the gap between planes.
