Giants

Giants are an ancient race of seemingly humanoid creatures, characterized by their great size, hence the name "Giant". Giants can reach nearly 12 blocks tall, 6 times taller than the average Alathran man. Giants posses a grotesque, misshapen complexion, complete with a dull green hue and pigmentation. They appear to be adorned in abused, makeshift tunics, suggesting some intelligence. Some Alathran's devote their lives to the extermination of Giants, Giantslayers, although an unequipped and unknowledgable person will almost surely die apon confronting one. An arrow from a bow will pierce no Giants hide, for it is too armorous and thick. A successful Giantslayer will be revered in Alathra as a great warrior, fueled by the lucritive collection of a Giants head, although many die to an alleged "3 swift strikes" from the beast. A Giant can allegedly summon other monstrous creatures to its aid, but this remains un-proven. Some scholars believe Mount Xeno in Arith to be the birthplace and homeland of the Giants, although no further research into there origins has been conducted.
