Nordic Giants as new enemy type?

[oracolus]

I was thinking about a way to flesh out the Nordic roster, and harkening back to ancient mythologies, i thought, why not frost giants?

What i had in mind was a slow moving adversary that comes in Three forms ; (Nordic) Giant, Giant militia and Armored Giant.

Nordic Giant would be a semi-slow opponent (fastest of the bunch) with a spiked mace for a weapon.

Giant militia would be more armored, Sporting some form of scale armor and a large wooden mallet.

Armored Giant would be the last tier, champions of Jötunheimr, armed with thick plate armor and stone mauls.


These would not come as one wave but rather as random enemies in the other ones. They would be slower than most, but not at a snail pace, and arguably would only appear on either Hard or Ragnarök, especially the armored ones.

Stats wise? i dont have a clue, i suppose they would be slow but deadly, mostly dealing damage via Knockback and Knockdowns.

So what do you think?
