Giant

A Sand Giant, a typical Giant

Giants are a class of monster, i.e. a species in the bestiary of Guild Wars.

Giants in Guild Wars are large humanoid creatures. They are more than twice the height of humans and possess great strength, but their bodies usually show more beastial features such as huge horns, tusks or fangs.

Characteristics

Most Giants are warriors, but not all are melee attackers, as some throw huge rocks from a distance. They will usually be found in groups of 2-3.

Because of their large size and great strength, Giants posses two noticeable attributes:

• Most cannot be knocked down by any skill or attack. Junundu skills are an exception.
• They can stomp their feet on the ground to knock down everyone around them using the monster skill "Giant Stomp."

Giant-kin creatures in the game include Ettins and Trolls but they do not possess these abilities.

On the weakness side, keep in mind that Giants ...

• are fleshy creatures.
• are susceptible to all conditions, incl. bleeding, poison and disease.
• leave a corpse behind.
• are not undead.
