~ Bowser after being transformed into a giant.

In fiction and folklore, a Giant is a humanoid of exceptional size and strength, often symbolic of natural disaster or great challenges. They are often confused with Ogres.

This category should only be used for actual giants (humanoids over 5m in height (16ft) ) and not just for large individuals or beasts.

To qualify as a giant, a character must display significant humanoid features while not being entirely monstrous (thus being more "human" than "monster"); if their monstrous features greatly outweigh their "human" features, they should be included in the "ogre" category.

Do not add giants and ogres into the same article as they are distinct mythological beings (also, in the strictest sense, a giant is often significantly larger than an ogre).
