Giant

Giants are a race of enormous humanoids. They were once numerous and roamed East Corgana freely, but a vast number of them were slain during the Giant Crusades in the early 1000's OCA. Nowadays there are perhaps less than fifty known giants living in Galapygos. Scholars predict they will be extinct by the year 1600. 
==Physical Description==
Giants externally resemble humans, but their similarities end there. Giants are immensely tall and strong, with most specimens standing over 20 feet tall. The tallest giant ever recorded, Groundsplitter John, was reported to be over 100 feet tall, but most information about him comes from myth and conjecture. Female giants were just as tall as males, but nobody has seen a female giant in many decades. 
Even the lowliest giant is terribly strong, able to rip a fully-grown tree out from the ground to use as a bludgeon. The strongest among the race are able to tear apart defensive structures like tissue paper and throw adult dragons around like rag dolls. The giant warlord Gragillion, widely considered one of the strongest mortal creatures in the world, purportedly once tore the wings off a giant roc. 
Giants are slightly more long-lived than humans, and can expect a lifespan of about 150 years. 
==Scarcity==
Since the Giant Crusades, there are fewer than fifty living giants estimated to be in the world. These giants have little contact with each other and seem to have no interest in repopulating their race, if there are even giant females remaining at all. 
At least a dozen of the remaining giants lead warbands in Varakadak, constantly attempting to breach the Wall of the Hand. A few giants are peaceful however, notably Horace the Thinker.
