Giant-kin

Giant-kin are large humanoids related to the true giants. Any race that can trace its lineage back to Othea's relationship with Ulutiu can be considered giant-kin. The mother of all giants, Othea, cheated on her husband Annam All-Father, the father of giants, with Ulutiu, producing the firbolgs, fomorians, verbeegs and the voadkyn. All true giants consider these types of giant-kin evil because of this act of unfaithfulness.

Ecology
A typical giant-kin pregnancy is nine months, and the offspring take around eighteen years to reach maturity.

Main types of giant-kin

 * Firbolgs
 * Verbeegs

Other types
The ogres were created during Othea's affair with Vaprak, and as a result are despised as giant-kin by true giants. Cyclopes are of unknown descent but are believed to be the product of another of Othea's affairs.
