Half-Giants are a relatively new race in Mit'uen, due to the the slow coming of toleration between giants and the smaller races (note that half-giants are not necessarily mixes of humans and giants, but can be any other race; elf, dwarf, orc, etc. breeding with a giant).  Relations between giants and other races are tolerable, but not friendly, and most half-giants will feel isolated from living in either one of his parent's homes, and will typically leave their homes at an early age and test their wills in the hardships of the wilderness.

Half-Giants are about a quarter the size of normal giants, which is still a considerable size compared to humans (half-giants will typically be a little more then twice the size of humans, ranging from 5-8 meters tall), which is one reason why half-giants experience a social isolation, to the smaller races, half-giants seem to be as large and threatening as giants; to giants, half-giants are small and weak.

Inheriting many of their giant parent's attributes, half-giant have extraordinary health, and their large size gives them massive strength and constitution, while also offering a larger and slower target for enemies to hit.  Half-Giants are also slow thinkers, with a thick skull and smaller brains then smaller, quicker races have.
