== Overview ==
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 Alathrans, often known as "Giantslayers", devote their lives to the extermination of Giants. An unequipped and unknowledgable person will almost surely die upon 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, possibly pointing to a Giants ancient sole purpose, but this remains un-proven.
From a text on [[Mount Xeno]]:▼
The mountain also seems to be an aparant hotspot of Giant sightings, perhaps a different variation or a location of origin.▼
According to [[Username_DjM8]], the warriors at [[The Bloodbath of Coldfront]] slew a large number of Giants with little trouble.
One source says that Elyria had a farm where they raised and killed Giants to harvest their resources. The farm was supposedly demolished by "Chicken".
In Pzychosocial's description of the [[Isviking|Isvikings]], it is said that "The Isvikings are generally human, but sometimes also giant..."

From an Encavian text by about Giants:
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.
