Reclassified as fiends, perhaps?

Okay this one seems kind of boring. For new creature just a new Oracle Cyclops, a new type of unexplained Orge, and Troll limbs. No mention giant animals getting the giant type either. True Giants will be more Elemental in flavour. Foromians have multiple options for their curse.

Just so little, hopefully Celestials get way more then this.

I assume part of the reason for not as much new stuff for the Giant monster category is due to the fact we recently got a book all about Giants. It's probably the same reasoning for the Dragon monster category not getting anything new either outside of some revamping of the Dragon stat blocks and making Dracoliches and Shadow Dragons properly stated creatures.

thats a whole lot of tusk, but other than improving rock throwing and nice stone giant art theres not much of anything, unless making Hill giants more disgusting is a real feature.

I think I'll keep my formorian and ogre mutants mashed into one

and did they actually say anything interesting about Ettins?

Giants are, traditionally, pretty boring enemy types. they are big, and hit hard and can take a lot of punishment. Hopefully they give them pretty interesting options, from flinging PCs across the battlefield to thunderwave clapping ands so on.

Trolls growing out of severed troll limbs is pretty sick.

This video has abit more info on stuff including that they moved Giant Eagles, Giant Owls, and Giant Elk into Celestials, like wtf? Moon Druids are going to be mad. If Celestial Paragons aren't in the book I'll be annoyed.

Not much of animal stats are buffed much either.
