All the Different Types of Giant-Kin

[Krishnath]

Actually, I think dragons would be easier to do than aberrations. But I suggest you go with what you feel is the best.

 

[X-Calator]

Actually, Krish, you're right. Since dragons are so popular, it's unlikely we will miss any. Dragons it is, then.

Oh, and by the way, I've been saving these lists to my hard drive for future recollection.

 

[Krishnath]

Sounds good to me, so how do you want to index the dragons?

From Underdark: Maur (hunched giant)

From Underdark: Maur (hunched giant)

Thanks Shade! Since they're descended from storm giants, I'll add them under true giants.

Sand Giant (Monster Manual III)
Totem Giant (Magic of Incarnum)

Trolls:

Mountain Troll (Monster Manual III)
Wasteland Troll (Sandstorm)

Miscellaneous:

Gerivar (Monster Manual III)
Half-Giant (Expanded Psionics Handbook; Filby lists the Athasian and Krynnish versions above)

There is also a Two-Headed Frost/Fire Giant in Dungeon #112 (page 60), but it is a unique creature, rather than a type of giant.
