Curs'd Ettin
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
Curs'd Ettin are twisted monsterous humanoids. [1]
They often have a second head and only one, but hugely muscled functional arm. [1] Each head has a distinct personality which wars with the other for control. [2]
History
Legends claim that they are the remnants of Norse warriors ruled by the Warlord-King Jorundar who when their fellows went to war against the southern people, choose to raid the lands of their neighbours. The Dark Gods cursed them and now they roam, twisted and full of hatred. [1][2]
They were driven from the settlements of Norsca and now hate all that lives. [2]
Magic
A few have a head that retains knowledge of their tribal magic. [2]
