Yes, it's not an option I'd use for a creature with only 15 attack. But it IS an option.

Two possibilities:
1) It's SOOOOO big shields just don't protect you (it crushes you
beneath your shield like a landslide)
2) Fine, let Harven roll the defences. Sooner or later, he'll lose,
even if Marginally, then they'll all wish they had rolled...

There is no need nor reason to use the same ability for both attack and defence. Attack with Close Combat, defend with Large.

Ignore all references to Oscar Wilde & the Troll. Do not ask questions. Do not pass Go.

Without some sort of 'Monster Manual', how else will you find out about the flora & fauna (actually, the flora is still under-represented, barring Elves) of Glorantha? One book does not an obsession with more new monsters make.
Now, book after book of increasingly more obscure Subcults & Hero Cults... THAT is the monstrous compendium of Hero Wars.
