Bicephalus

    The Bicephalus is a pair of Giants fused together into a lumbering uncoordinated monster, bearing two miserable, temperamental heads atop one set of broad twisted shoulders. There were once several of these creatures, all created by the mad flesh-wizard Zivzov, punishing a clan of Wris who stole his cattle. After the wizard's demise, all of the miserable two-headed guards perished as well, all except for Bicephalus, who still haunts the ruins, kept alive through some sort of magic. He is very old, and very angry-- particularly at himself. Or rather, the two heads that call themselves Bicephalus are angry at each other, as they are distinct minds, each controlling half of the grotesque body. The creature sometimes goes by the name Taranau, but considers this name private, and will not tell it to foes.
