Nephilim
Genesis's hybrid giants
Nephilim are enigmatic figures from the Hebrew Bible, described as giants or mighty heroes who lived before the flood.
Genesis 6 says they arose from unions between "sons of God" and "daughters of men"—variously interpreted as fallen angels, divine beings, or descendants of Seth.
The term has spread into fantasy literature, video games, and occult traditions to describe angel-human hybrids or demigods with supernatural powers: In the game, Nephilim possess abilities from both celestial and mortal bloodlines.
Often treated as both singular and plural.
