These magical, evil giantesses are gaunt and ragged, wearing stained and filthy garments. They are anthropophagic by choice, though they will eat almost anything when hungry, which is almost all the time. They are sometimes found cohabiting with giants or trolls. Annises are as strong as hill giants (19 strength) and if all three of their attacks hit, they have held their opponent fast and will devour it rapidly (in game terms, this means their attacks automatically hit while the victim is held). Annises can cast fog cloud and change self each thrice per day.

Annises speak common, various giantish tongues and their own language.
