User blog comment:Brutal Templar/The Giants of Lordran could possibly be very close kin of the Giants of Dark Souls 2./@comment-24679176-20140415203550

Maybe they are a distant kin? Because, you know, Drangleic's giants turn into trees after death so that may mean that they are a different, more "magical" kind of giants? Because in Lordran there's even the Tomb of Giants,all with giant bones, giant skelletons and stuff. Maybe they are "Artificial Giants" made from trees using magic and created by someone (Chosen Undead, Gwynevere, Flame God Flann??) To protect that thing Vendrick stole from them.
