Non Norse Giant Names

Post date: Sep 15, 2015 5:38:38 PM

Besides Norse giants, they also exist in Greek mythology (spawned from the blood of Uranus)

though there's some confusion about Titans vs. Giants. Greek giants seems

to be associated with volcanoes too, so perhaps using the names with just

Fire Giants might work. Cloud Giants are often depicted as wearing togas

in D&D, so perhaps them too.

Names:

Agrius

Alcyoneus

Alektos

Aristaeus

Astarias

Aster

Asterius

Clytius

Enceladus

Ephialtes

Euryalu

Eurymedon

Eurytus

Gration

Hapladamas

Hippolytus

Lion

Mimas

Mimon

Mimos

Pallas

Pelorus

Polybotes

Porphyrion

Thoas

Thoon

Then there's also the Giants of the Old Testament - Goliath obviously,

among many others, these seem more like hill giants, or perhaps stone or

half-giants, so you could perhaps use their names for that, there's a

whole host of different peoples, The Ammorites, Emim, Zuzim, Rephaim,

Nephilim, Anakim and of course Philistines though it seems only those

related to Goliath.

Specific Names (though may or may not be giants):
