I'll presume that Vendrick was part deity. You see this when meeting the Four Knights of Gwyn. All of them are much larger than normal humans (Gough is a 'giant' though). There are many theories behind this, but the part that they're part deity would explain quite a bit.

On the second hand, Gwyn did split his Lord Soul among his knights, The Four Kings and Seath, and it is a Lord Soul which is very powerful in itself. But all the Lord Souls were used in the Lordvessel, so that has to be ruled out.

Third hand, Nashandra isn't a human, she "awoke" from a fragment from the Soul of Manus (read above), and can presumably create an illusion or take on a different form, like the person above this comment mentioned. It still doesn't count for Vendrick, as you can find him pretty much hollowed in Undead Crypt.

So far, the first theory seems to be the most likely one, but it's still just a theory.

Or they are Giants.
