{{Creature end}}<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>Voluptuous and sturdy of build, the gigas shield-maiden has the musculature of a seasoned fighter and the cool gaze of a practiced tactician. Towering at nearly thirty feet in height, the shield-maiden moves with a dangerous grace. The armor she wears is not ornate, but it shines like hammered gold and barely makes a sound as she moves.</pre><br />
==Hunting Strategies==<br />
;General Advice<br />
* Shield-maidens are [[square]] creatures, so players of [[semi]]s and [[pure]]s can take advantage of their low [[TD]] by casting [[CS]]-based offensive spells.<br />
* Shield-maidens have a pretty high rate of blocking physical attacks with their shields when unhindered, so setup abilities like [[Sunder Shield]], [[Aura of the Arkati (1614)]], anything that inflicts [[Blinded]], anything that knocks prone, and so forth are recommended for primarily physical combatants. Alternatively, [[Brawling|unarmed combat]] can't be blocked.<br />
;Bards<br />
* [[Vibration Chant (1002)]] works twice and will often leave them helpless or dead.<br />
;Wizards<br />
* Shield-maidens can be targeted with [[Mana Leech (516)]].<br />
