A Giant is a humanoid larger than the average human being. Not much is known about these creatures, although no one is canonly featured in the gameplay at least one is mentioned in Fable.
Fable & Fable: TLC[]
The Harbinger is a sword that was once owned by a Hero named Huw the Giant. It is not known if Huw got his title because he was a human of extreme size or that he was actually a Giant. If he was a giant this would also suggest that giants along with humans, would have the ability to be Heroes.
Fable III[]
A Giant is shown in a piece of concept art for a DLC for Fable II, made by Lionhead's senior concept artist Mike McCarthy. The picture shows a human, who was later identified as the Hero of Brightwall, trying to communicate with a non-hostile-appearing Giant.
Such image is featured in the Fable III Artbook under the section "Unused Creatures". This implies that the Giant may have made an appearance in Fable III, but didn't make the final cut.
Fable: The Journey[]
A silhouette of the Giant featured in the Fable III artbook was sometimes seen on the promotional images for the game, next to a silhouette of a Troll. This implied that the Giant would have made its debut appearance in the game. However, while Trolls did come back for Fable: The Journey, Giants were still nowhere to be found.
Notes[]
- Aside from their absence from the games they are depicted on pieces of licensed concept art developed for the games.
