Females are slightly shorter and lighter, but otherwise identical with males. Frost giants can live to be 250 years old.

The symbol worn and used by the followers of Hextor is a black, spiked gauntlet holding six arrows. Description Hextor is often depicted as a hideous, gray skinned, six-armed humanoid bearing two large tusks jutting from its lower jaw wearing armor clad with skulls.
