In many campaign settings for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Stronmaus (STRAWN-mawz) is the giant deity of sun, sky, weather, and joy. His symbol is a forked lightning bolt descending from a cloud that partly obscures the sun.
Stronmaus was first detailed in the book Monster Mythology (1992), including details about his priesthood. His role in the giant pantheon of the Forgotten Realms setting is detailed in Giantcraft (1995). His role in the cosmology of the Planescape campaign setting was described in On Hallowed Ground (1996).
Stronmaus appears in 3rd edition in Defenders of the Faith (2000). His priesthood is detailed for this edition in Complete Divine (2004).
Stronmaus' avatar appears as an enormous (up to 80' tall) giant with blue eyes and flowing auburn-red, wavy hair, wearing a simple gold-edged white robe. He is far more youthful and carefree than his father Annam. He is normally depicted smiling and reveling. He cannot help but smile, for the energy of life flows through him so strongly that it is hard not for him to express his continual exuberance. He revels in the storms he calls up and in the thunder that booms from his magical hammer.
Stronmaus has inherited some of his father's fickle lusts, and may send avatars simply to woo and seduce beautiful female giants.
In many campaign settings, the giantish pantheon of gods consists of the leader Annam, as well as Grolantor, Hiatea, Iallanis, Karontor, Memnor, Skoraeus Stonebones, and Stronmaus. Other powers worshipped by giants or giant-type creatures include Baphomet, Kostchtchie, and Vaprak.
