Storm giants are looming but benevolent stewards of sea and sky, often serving as the natural guardians of tropical islands, coastlines, or rocky archipelagos. Storm giants tend to rapidly shift in mood and behavior, one moment engaging in peaceful negotiation, the next unleashing unbridled ferocity against their foes.

Abilities

Constant Spells — A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.
Catch Rock
Lightning Blade (electricity, primal) — The storm giant raises one hand to the sky, channeling a bolt of lightning into the blade held in the other. The giant makes a greatsword Strike with a -2 circumstance penalty against each creature within its reach.

It makes only one attack roll and compares the result against each creature's AC. This Strike deals an additional 3d12 electricity damage and counts as two attacks for the giant's multiple attack penalty.
Throw Rock — The monster picks up a rock within reach or retrieves a stowed rock and throws it, making a ranged Strike.
Wide Swing — The storm giant makes a single greatsword Strike and compares the attack roll result to the ACs of up to two foes within its reach. This counts as two attacks for the giant's multiple attack penalty.
