This giant is the offspring of Poseidon && Gaia, the original earth-deity.
He grows stronger each round he fights, as long as he remains on the
earth. Antaeus starts similar to a hill giant in size && appearance, but
every round he fights he grows, gaining the size && strength each round
of the next largest giant type, until he reaches titan strength && size. Each
time he grows, all damage he has taken is healed, and he increases a
further 25 HP (up to 250 total). Even after he ceases growing, all
damage he takes in one round is healed in the next as long as he remains
on the earth. Antaeus will remain at titan size as long as he fights, gradually
shrinking when the battle is over. If Antaeus is lifted off the ground, he
loses strength && size at the same rate he gained it, and will no longer
heal. He always attackcs as a 16+ HD monster.
