Giants

are a humanoid race found in some of the more isolated places of the cosmos.
== Physical Description ==
They are typically 7 to 8 feet tallOne famous example, the legendary Naga Dundee, was 8'6" and reports of giants up to 9 feet tall are not unheard of. and can weigh in excess of 400 pounds. Their origins are disputed, but it seems that they are not simply oversized humans or orcs, as they have a fundamentally different bone and muscular structure that enables their great size with comparatively minimal loss of agility.
Indeed, while some have postulated that giants are an offshoot of the ancestral race of the "Great Races" (elves, orcs, and humans), the physiological differences among the great races are far smaller than the differences between any of them and giants. This gulf has been taken as evidence that if giants share kinship with the great races, it is comparatively distant. However, reports of crossbred orc-giants do exist.
== Traditions ==
Giants share a religious style with many primitive orcs, worshiping either minor local deities (or simple superstitious imaginings) or some subset of the Savage Gods. 
== Influence ==
However, the small populations of giants keep them to the fringes of cosmic politics: where orcs can threaten societies and even worlds, giants are more often drawn into the wars of others as muscle.
