Giant (Cold) · SM +3 Frost Giant (Enraged Eggplant; answers SRD 3.5, SRD 5.1)
A lean ice-blue giant with long pale hair under a plain helm, in layered hides, dark pelts and chain. Cold is nothing to it and fire is worse than it should be. It raids from high country, takes what it needs, and respects very little except strength.

- Description
- Written by Dungeons on Automatic, released under cc_by_4_0
- GCS ancestry draft: gcs/frost-giant.gct
- Source template total: 283 points.
- Library-rebuilt template total: 313 points.
- CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
- GCS cost adjudication for "ST+30 (Size Modifier, -20%)": the source states 210 points and the native GCS library computes 240. Adopted the native library value of 240. Increased ST is 10 per level (B14): 300 at -20% is 240. The stated 210 prices a -30% construction.
- CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 58, PR 34, CER 92, threat tier major.
- Encounter metadata derived (gregarious): average number appearing 1, wandering weight 2. Encounter metadata derived for 0.2.0 from the reviewed threat tier and creature class (appearing: minor 4 / standard 2 / major 1 / severe 1, forced to 1 for solitary classes — including swarms, which are a single multi-body creature — and raised to 6 for gregarious minor creatures; wandering weight: minor 4 / standard 3 / major 2 / severe 1). The fan-conversion source states no appearing-in-numbers or wandering values, so these are derived, not source mechanics.
- Lair, treasure, and grappling remain unpopulated in 0.2.0 by package policy: the authorized fan-conversion source states no lair, treasure, or grappling values, and review declines to invent them. See review/policy/0.2.0-empty-field-policy.md.
- Description text is original Dungeons on Automatic prose written from this record's own converted statistics and from the project's art direction for the creature. It is not derived from the authorized fan-conversion source, which states no creature descriptions, and not from any SRD. It carries its own authorship and CC BY 4.0 terms in the description field. See review/policy/description-policy.md.
- Review approved by automated-mechanical-review on 2026-07-26 (batch ee-2026-07-26-b1-gcs-costs); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
- Every exact-identity cost discrepancy on this record is adjudicated against the published GURPS cost table in review/reports/gcs-adjudication.md; the adopted value and its basis are recorded in conversionNotes.
- Visual GCS verification of the .gct is not claimed by this decision; checks.gcsVisualPass is false.
