stone giants
Massive boulder creatures
Stone giants are mythical humanoid beings of enormous size, typically depicted as made of or dwelling in rock and mountains.
In fantasy literature and games, they appear as a distinct species of giant—less intelligent than some giant types but formidable due to their strength and ability to hurl boulders.
The stone giants retreated deeper into the mountain when settlers arrived.
They often serve as guardians of underground realms or mountainous territories.
