Giants are some of the largest creatures still to stride the surface of the world, being 18 feet tall or more, and their battle prowess is justly feared. Indeed, if they were even vaguely organised, their scattered tribes could still offer a terrible threat to the civilised nations. Fortunately for all the “little” races, conscious thought seems to be somewhat painful for Giants and any capacity for reasoning they have is usually directed to thinking about their next source of food or drink. Giants consume prodigious amounts of flesh and a single Giant can consume five whole cows each day and still have room for more, but it is their appetite for alcohol which is their strongest motivator. Giants drink to excess and they’re constantly inebriated. Even the most sober of Giants is a bit tipsy.
Many scholars surmise that the Giants' fondness for alcohol is due to their prodigious size creating strain on their bones and joints. They theorize that the Giants are constantly in pain because of this rampant growth. Others believe they simply like to drink. It is because of the massive quantities of ale needed to get themselves properly drunk that Giants often work as mercenaries for the armies of other races, since it is the only way they can get their hands on a decent supply.
