Giant

Giants are large primitive humanoids most often found in Skyrim and other mountainous areas. They are also often accompanied by mammoths.

Giantsesses are the female version of Giants but are much more powerful and have different abilities. There are no generic Giantess enemies in-game.

There are two Giants in northern Bangkorai: one is on a cliff overlooking the Troll's Toothpick Wayshrine, and the other is on the hill near Mournoth Keep.
