Ettin



s are a class of monster, i.e. a species in the bestiary of Guild Wars.

Ettins are giant-kin, large humanoid creatures, which have two heads. They have great muscular bodies and thick gray skin. Their two heads are not separate but are smushed together though one can make out the different mouths and eyes of the two heads if one gets close enough. They are always carrying a huge club on their shoulders.

Note: Ettins are multi-headed giants in English/Irish fairytales.

Characteristics
Ettins can only be found as hammer warriors (except for their bosses). They will usually be found in groups of 2-3 and will generally pose a threat to any party spellcaster if they all get to him/her at once. They can use their sheer strength to land great amounts of damage. Therefore, skills that hinder warriors (such as those that slow them or blind them) are very useful against Ettins.

Unlike full-fledged giants, Ettins can be knocked down (be mindful though that Enslaved Ettins use Balanced Stance).

Furthermore keep in mind that s ...
 * are fleshy creatures.
 * are susceptible to all conditions, incl. bleeding, poison and disease.
 * leave a corpse behind.
 * are not undead.

Items dropped
s may drop the following loot (besides gold and various weapons and items):

Known Sub-Types
Ettins are found in the Shiverpeak Mountains, Kryta and the Ring of Fire Islands. They seem to adapt to the cold and the heat equally well.
