Hey, I was just fiddling around with this idea for a bit of an odd minor race, so I figured I'd get your opinion on it.
Hyidis.
The Hyidis or Gas Giantesses as they are sometime known, are a massive minor race. By human terms, The Hyidis resemble huge fat women, anywhere between 7 to 9 feet tall and weighing 700 to 1000 pounds, growing larger as they age. They have 4 long tentacles grown out of their head and another four larger flatter tentacles growing from out of their backs. A Hyidis will use these for simple tasks, such as holding objects and feeding herself. Their skin is hairless and is either blue, yellow, orange or white, often a mix of these in a wave patten much like a gas giant planet.
However, the Hyidis' oddest feature is their ability to inflate themselves. The Hyidis' skin, muscles and even certain bones have tough yet stretchable lung-like cells in them, filled with a densely thick fluid, which the Hyidis is able to harden, giving her abnormal strength and toughness. However a Hyidis can also convert this fluid into a incredibly light gas, allowing her inflate herself to twice her size and become weightless. This allows the Hyidis to fly, using her back tentacles to move herself trough the air.
The Hyidis come from the moons of the Gas Giant, Hy, which, according to Hyidis legend was the first of their kind and is worshiped like a goddess. They're an all female race, each Hyidis become automatically pregnant around the age of 40 to 50 yeas old. This plays an important part as when becomes a mother, she becomes a Hygina, part of the ruling class of Hy, as it's believed that only after becoming a mother has a Hyidis become grown enough, both physically and mentally, to handle the responsibly of being able to change the fate of Her planet.
Raising in the social standing of Hygina is a mix of charisma, experience, cunning and, some would say, being the biggest. Size matters on Hy, as the Hyidis link it with wisdom, experience, strength, beauty and favor with the Goddess Hy. When a Hyidis demands something, she'll often inflate herself to her to maximum size in order to tower over her opponent and most stalemates between two Hyidis are often ended by finding out who's the biggest.
Hyidis are Large (3d6 Strength and Endurance, 1d6 Dex,) have slow metabolism and are able to inflate themselves to fly (Float, 10 meters per round, count as being huge when inflated, giving attacks against them +1 DM to hit.)
Armor Options:
Stretchi: The Hyidis have been using this strange rubber-like cloth since the beginning of time. Made from the plant life from Hy's moon, clothes made from Stretchi are able stretch to twice their size, making them invaluable to any Hyidis who needs to inflate herself at a moments notice. It can be used on any armor but Battle Dresses. (Cr 50.)
