I'm huge! Even scarier up close, huh?

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down

As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town.

And he descended upon Arda in power and majesty greater than any other of the Valar, as a mountain that wades in the sea and has its head above the clouds...

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, aka 16ft) and not just for large individuals or beasts.

This also applies to villains who have multiple different forms and one of them is big enough (e.g. Zhan Tiri's demon form, Jafar's genie form, Ursula becoming monstrously giant at the end of The Little Mermaid, and Eren Yeager when he is a titan) or becoming massive at some point either due to magic or something else (e.g. Bowser when he is hit with Kamek's magic, Audrey II getting larger the more Seymour feeds him much more blood throughout Little Shop of Horrors, Undertow turned into a giant tiger shark by Morgana's trident, Emperor Belos becoming the size of the Boiling Isles after fusing with it) as long as they're also Humanoid either in the form or in general, although Giants are mainly human, others can show to be more of a monster than man, like Kaiju; a Japanese word for Monster (e.g, Godzilla mutated to be a large prehistoric monster to destroy buildings, and even King Ghidorah, a giant golden alien three-headed dragon that destroys planets.)

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).
