Giant Overview
Giants tower over humans and their kind. They are humanlike in shape, though some have multiple heads (ettins) or deformities (fomorians). The six varieties of true giant are hill giants, stone giants, frost giants, fire giants, cloud giants, and storm giants. Besides these, creatures such as ogres and trolls are giants. [SRD5 OGL] [1]
Giants are humanoid creatures of great strength and size...
Giants were among the first monsters introduced in the earliest edition of the game, in the Dungeons & Dragons "white box" set (1974), including the hill giant, the stone giant, the frost giant, the fire giant, and the cloud giant.[2] The storm giant first appears in the original Greyhawk supplement (1975), where it is described as an intelligent giant found only in out-of-the-way places.[3] [4]
Ancient empires once cast long shadows over a world that quaked beneath the giants' feet...but their kind fell from glory long ago. However, even divided among secluded clans scattered throughout the world, the giants maintain the customs and traditions of old...
Giants are almost as old as dragons, which were still young when the giants' heavy feet first shook the foundations of the world... Giants and dragons fought bitter generational wars that nearly brought both sides low... Giants and dragons continue to harbor grudges against one another... [5]
