Duke Zalto is leader of the fire giants in Storm King's Thunder.

Stats Block

See the "Stats" tab below. Because he's leader of the fire giants, I've buffed up a regular Fire Giant from p. 154 of the Monster Manual:

• Higher than normal hp (9 hp per d12)
• A slightly better INT, DEX and AC (12, 10 and 19 respectively)
• a Legendary Action of  move (usually with a free disengage on that movement)
