Another design thingy for my story. Giants are more of a rhino/warthog cross than a big human in the story's setting. I think they would have been named more for size than appearance, ya know? Makes more sense in my mind. Imagien the conversation between the first humans to see them...

Person A)"Holy cow, look at that thing, what is it?!"
Person B)"It's Giant, whatever is is!"
A)"That sounds good, lets stick with that!"
B)"Gotcha!"
