Giant Clan

The Giant Clan is one of the five major races in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai.

Overview
According to the Lady of the Lake, the Giant Clan was created by Chaos after it created the Supreme Deity, the Demon King and the Sacred Tree. However, Chaos grew disappointed with the Giants for being a wild race, slaves to their own power and knowing nothing other than infilcting pain on each other. In Britannia, their societies are lead by great warrior chiefs. According to the myths, Drole was a highly respected ancestor of the Giant Clan, having developed a sacred dance with deep connections to nature and earth.

3,000 years ago, the Giant Clan allied with the Goddess Clan, Fairy Clan, and humans and fought against the Demon Clan and won with the Coffin of Eternal Darkness sealing the defeated demons in their realm.

The Giants live for battle and were often hired by humans of different kingdoms to provide them the battles to fight as mercenaries. As a result, however, the Giant Clan's status is currently in danger due to deaths in battle they could find.

Appearance
They are identical to humans with the exception that they grow much larger than any human ever could. Their way of dress is similar to that of barbarians living in the north.

Powers and Abilities
Like all the other races, except humans, they are known for their long lifespans. Because of their connection to the earth they are able to bend it to their whims, an ability exclusive to them, known as Creation.

Trivia

 * The Giants choose their leaders by having a fighting contest and the strongest wins.
 * Like the Fairy Clan, most of the Giant Clan have no concept of wearing underwear either.
 * Unlike the Demons, Fairies, and Goddesses, yet like the Humans, the Giant Clan were created by Chaos directly instead of it creating a "progenitor" that created their own respective race.
 * Should they gain access to magic that shrinks them, giants are capable of reproducing with other races. Diane and King are the sole example.
