	Giant (mythology) article - Giant (mythology) Giant (disambiguation) legendary monster races cultures Oscar - ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Giants are humanoid creatures of prodigious size and strength, a type of legendary monster that appear in the tales of many different races and cultures.
		The Aesir themselves emerged from the race of giants, and in the eventual, apocalyptic battle of Ragnarok the frost giants will storm Asgard, home of the gods, and defeat the gods in war, bringing about the end of the world.
		In the mature form of this mythology recorded in the Edda poetry and prose, giants inter-marry with the gods and are the origin of most of the monsters in Nordic mythology (e.g., the Fenris Wolf), so relations between the Aesir and the giants are sometimes cordial and sometimes adversarial.

	Frost Giant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Frost Giants are huge and fearsome brutes with thick insulating gray/white fur and beards, tusk-like teeth, and horns sprouting from their shaggy heads.
		They have little use for armor, but do use leather shields and wear animal hides and helmets (Interestingly enough, a frost giant's helmet is designed to fit over and around their natural horns, leading some bands of dark creature and human pirates to adopt this horned helmet image to emulate the frost giants' success).
		Because of their dislike, even fear, of heat, frost giants practice the enslavement of dwarfs, humans, and even the occasional giant, so they might be made to forge weapons and other tools in the blaze of a hearth.

		Nord's depiction of the frost giant's daughter makes her as visually impressive as Conan's narration promises, and his depiction of the frost giants themselves is equally impressive.

		In addition, the frost giant's daughter is gorgeous, beautifully drawn, sensual, otherworldly, everything that the text promises yet somehow avoiding easy cheesecake (unlike the Linsner cover) and conveying sexuality without being able to rely on overt nudity.
