Giants

Giants
Big boys, ranging between just a bit taller than the chosen undead up to a size that dwarfs the likes of dragons. The giant race of DS1 and DS3 are used as slaves and servants to the Lord race, used to build their cities and perform other heavy labor. Some giants show there is a more refined side to the race however, including a master weapon smith and a couple highly skilled archers.

Dark Souls 2 gave us a different flavor of giants which will here be called hole-faced giants due to obvious reasons. These giants are more akin to barbarians, they use crude weapons and wear primitive clothing, some even use pyromancy.

Whichever flavor you use, giants are challenging opponents. All giants have large health pools and can hit very hard. And they're usually quite sparse, only one to two per area usually

Giant traits
Most giants possess the following traits (unless otherwise noted in their entry) Giants can understand the common language, but only intelligent giants appear to be able to speak it, and with difficulty usually. Hole-faced giants however have not been shown to speak, though they may be able to speak to each other.
 * Weakness to Storm Ruler (I know that it was only effective vs. Yhorm in the games, but it seems silly not to be effective vs all giants so it will be listed as a weakness here)
 * Weakness to poison damage and condition
