A Giant's characteristics traditionally make then to be brutish and hostile. They are seen to feed on cattle, sheep and human or anything living that is smaller in size. Giants normally are seen to be solitary although the Greek titans formed communities. A well-known giant is Blunderbore who lived in a huge castle in a cloud; he was defeated by a boy called Jack (from the fairy tale Jack & the beanstalk).
