Mountain Giants

Mountain Giants are a race of Giants native to the Realm of the Giants, but also found in Midrealm. They are considered to be the most "civilized" of the Giant races.

Physiology
While they are the most humanoid in appearance of all the Giant races, like all Giants they are notable for their size. Mature males average around 7 and a half feet in height, and females around 6 and a half. Both males and females are incredibly strong, but generally regarded as clumsy. They have a short lifespan, with few Mountain Giants aging beyond 40 years old.

Culture
In Midrealm, Mountain Giants either live in solitude, or organize themselves in very small communities. They domesticate Audaurochs for sustenance, and seem to have a strong link with wolves, wargs, and fenwolves.

In their native realm, the Mountain Giants developed some advanced civilizations, most notably Utgard. They have also been shown to be skilled stoneworkers, likely involved in the construction of Valhalla.

Giant-Wives
Mountain Giant women are capable of bearing Aesir children, giving birth to half-giant children that inherit some of the size and strength of the Mountain Giants. For this reason, some of the Aesir take giant-wives for the purpose of bearing strong children. The most famous of the giant-wives is the shield-maiden Rindr, who was abducted and raped by King Odin to give birth to Vali, who was prophesied to become a fearsome warrior that would bring ruin to the enemies of Asgard.
