Twisted in body and mind, the hideous gigantes would be a pitiable form of giant were it not for their prodigious cruelty and bloodlust. Gigantes feel driven to kill any intelligent creature they encounter, with the exception of other gigantes—through their violent and unhinged nature means that even minor disagreements between gigantes usually end in bloodshed.

This, combined with their great strength and erratic, unpredictable behavior, makes the gigantes a particularly dangerous foe.
