Giants are perhaps the most widespread mythical beings in all of folklore, appearing in nearly every culture on the planet. From the Titans of Greek mythology, to the Jotnar of Norse mythology, to Paul Bunyan of America. They may be primeval entities who helped shape the world, forces of chaos destined to destroy reality, mighty heroes, evil monsters, cunning tricksters or dim-witted brutes, but are always larger than life, and drastically effect the world around them just by living.
