Notes:
Despite their aggressive and merciless nature, the terrifying giants are astonishingly gentle and protective of children, not only their own young, but any child, as well as baby animals. Stories of mountain giants appearing out of nowhere or fighting to their own death to save a child from a bear, wolves, monsters, bandits, mud slide, drowning, etc. are surprisingly numerous. the giants also love canines and often breed dogs with wolves and use them as hunting companions and pets. This affection for dogs extends to mutant 'Dog-Boys', one of the very few intelligent beings that mountain giants do not attack on sight, and often befriend (and another reason some believe the mountain giants are the creation of Lone Star).
According to Native American Indians, mountain giants are also said to be able to see spirits and will not hurt Indian Shamans, Indian Mystics, or the mentally retarded. The giants sometimes associate with brodkil and like simvan (probably because they can control animals). Mountain giants have only appeared ion the last 15 years.
