Giants are massive creatures resembling gigantic humans. Most are known for being dimwitted and violent. Giants are associated with all colors of mana save blue, but are most strongly aligned with red.
They are not to be confused with creatures from other races that by magical or artificial circumstances have grown to giant sizes.

Lorwyn-Shadowmoor Giants
Lorwyn giants
In the plane known as Lorwyn, giants are associated with white and red mana. They are reclusive and lonely. They are known to take long sleep periods after which they arise with a new purpose in life and name. Some are prone to have prophetic visions of the future.
Their long life spans give them a particular perception of time, and wisdom that other races respect.
Shadowmoor giants
In the Shadowmoor aspect of the plane however, giants are more brutish and associated with red and green mana. During their long sleep periods plants and moss grow over them, and they never bother to remove them.
Giants are viewed by other races as a problem, because they seldom stop in their path, even if a village is on their way.
