Gourt Home::Gourt :: Ettin (Creatures)
Ettins are a species in the games Creatures 2 and Creatures 3.
Ettins were created by the Shee to help them on their experiments, especially when using machinery. Unfortunately, they made them like machines so much they tend to steal bits for themselves, often taking them to wherever they consider their home (the ettin home in C3 is the desert, which they refer to as 'ettin home').
C2 ettins behave rather differently; they tend to lead a sad and lonely life underground with no one but Pitz and the occasional Grendel for company. The backstory in the guides and manual, as well as the opening sequence, reveals that they once lived in the desert at the top of Albia and, true to their nature, built the pyramid that sits there. The actual use of the pyramid is unknown.
Ettins were introduced into the Creatures universe in C2, having been revealed to the world after the volcanic eruption.
There are tales that speak of Ettins building cities...
Ettins are used frequently in fanfiction as creatures that can tidy up or be left behind to help norns.
