Giant

Giants are large primitive humanoids most often found in Skyrim and other mountainous areas. They are also often accompanied by mammoths, whom they use as companions and livestock.

Giantesses are the female version of giants but are much rarer, with only two encountered as bosses, Matriarch Aldis and Matriarch Runa.
