Their heads are thrust forward from their shoulder blades. The have squashed-in faces with square teeth and tiny eyes amidst folds of horny flesh. Their eyesight is poor and they snuffle constantly, smelling as much as they see.

They have sloped chests, and their lower torsos are about half again as wide as their upper torsos. Their arms hang lower than a man's, while their legs are shorter than their arms, ending in splayed and horny feet that need no shoes even in the coldest weather. The female giants look similar to the male.

Giants do not use much technology. They wield huge clubs that are often no more than logs, though some tie boulders to the end to make crude mauls. They ride mammoths as steeds. They speak the Old Tongue of the First Men. Songs of the wildlings tell that giants were at one time more plentiful, but they were hunted by men and driven from their stone halls. By the time Mance Rayder became King-Beyond-the-Wall, there were only several hundred remaining. Giants do not have kings, but Mag the Mighty was considered their greatest warrior at that time.

Some wildlings believe that particularly large men in the north have giant blood in them, but there have been no recorded incidents of crossbreeding.

According to other legends, he was in Westeros before the rest of the First Men crossed the Arm, making him the first human in Westeros, and also the only human in Westeros at the time. Other legends claim that he was a god in human form, who demanded blood sacrifice from his worshippers to ensure a bountiful harvest.

Garth held great wisdom, and it is said that he taught the First Men how to farm. Some claim that he also tried to do the same with giants and the Children of the Forest, but he failed, being mocked by the Children in the process.

In some myths he not only brought fertility to land, but also to women, making barren ones fruitful on touch, even old women who were no longer able to have their blood.

Garth supposedly planted the Oakenseat, the ancient throne of which the Gardener kings of the Reach sat upon. The Oakenseat was destroyed by a Dornish army thousands of years later, however.

Today, the Maesters of the Citadel strongly deny most of the details told in the legends of Garth the Green.
