Other Giants

The giants lived in a faraway land that normal folk could not reach without a guide. They stayed there, waiting for a chance to unleash their forces upon the world, but not all of them believed in this purpose. The BFG, along with others, opted for a more peaceful life and only engaged in violence if absolutely necessary. The focused their time on the pursuit of knowledge, avoiding fights with their speed, stealth and dexterity. They often visited the realms of other races, however took great care to never be seen.
