==Descriptions== Their name is helpfully descriptive here the only one seen in the Otherverse so far was something like a humanoid cliff, probably larger then a three story building with facial hair to match.<ref>It was a shape. A man, half again as tall as any of us, naked, his hair long and curly, a thin beard on his face. He carried a sword and a round shield that was broad enough to cover him from knee to shoulder. The snow piled on his shoulders, dusting his hair and pubes white.<br>[...]<br>“The Astrologer,” Fell said. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/06/03 Excerpt] from [[Void 7.2]] <br>[...]<br> A man. Larger than the Astrologer’s creation, craggy in features, with a heavy beard. Tall enough I could see him head and shoulders on the far side of a two-story building. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/12/04 Excerpt] from [[Sine Die 14.2]]</ref> Can be very quite when they want to be.<ref name=":3">The giant, as it turned out, was ''quiet''. It moved at a plodding pace, but I suspected that in a long-distance race, it would beat a running human being by virtue of sheer stride and endless stamina.<br><br>Seven or eight seconds passed as it approached our general position, and then it exhaled, long and heavy. Hot breath steamed and froze on the giant’s thick facial hair. Its face looked to be carved out of rock.<br><br>There was a sound like a building settling as it turned its head one way, then the other.<br><br>Every movement was slow, calculated, as if he considered it all with great care, deciding each in advance, then carrying it out.<br><br>He stepped over the pickup, as if it were an afterthought, his head turning as he looked in the direction the dragon had gone, past the intersection one block over, and further down the street.<br><br>Bending down, he used one hand to seize the pickup truck the dragon had grazed, and moved it back into position.<br><br>He remained where he was, bent over, one hand still on the truck.<br><br>I couldn’t make out his face. Only the back of him, one leg, and a kilt of what looked to be cow hides, threaded into a continuous garment with thongs as thick around as my remaining arm. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/12/06 Excerpt] from [[Sine Die 14.3]]</ref> Their abodes are correspondingly huge as well.<ref name=DDG/> While they presumably have many languages, in keeping with their different origins, one was shown speaking a monosyllabic one.<ref name=":4"/><ref name=":5">I could hear the giant intone another monosyllabic word, from two or so city blocks away. He didn’t shout, but he might as well have, given how far the sound carried. The dragon screeched in response. I heard the eruption of flame. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/12/09 Excerpt] from [[Sine Die 14.4]]</ref><ref>“''Thu,''” he managed, rasping out the syllable. He said another. “''Ban''.”<br><br>''Giant speak'', I remembered. A language of single syllables. Just what he needed to communicate with the great beast. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2015/02/24 Excerpt] from [[Judgment 16.11]]</ref>
