Giant (Dungeons & Dragons)

In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, giant is a type of creature, or "creature type". Giants are humanoid-shaped creatures of great strength and size.

All giants have Low-light vision. As a group, they have no other special abilities or immunities.

There are six types of classic "true giant" in the core Dungeons & Dragons game: cloud giants, fire giants, frost giants, hill giants, stone giants, and storm giants.

Dwarves have a bonus to their Armor Class against attacks from creatures of the giant type, due to their experience with fighting these oversized foes.
