| “ | Oh mighty tundrastrider! How you and your mighty tusked beast silhouette against the great orange expanse. Thundering footsteps herald your herd. Man and beast blazing trail together. | „ |

Summary[]
Giants are a race of large humanoids that can be found in the wilds of Skyrim, High Rock, Hammerfell, Cyrodiil, and Valenwood. They have grey, leathery skin, and stand several times higher than the average human, clothing themselves with animal furs and bones.
They seem to share a common ancestry with the Nords, stemming from the Atmoran race. Nords evolved to be smaller and smarter, while Giants kept their large size and strength at the cost of higher intelligence.
