Ogres and Gigantes make up the majority of the Giant family, though for some reason Goblins are included as well. The Claymore will deal extra damage to them, and is well worth using until you have an Icebrand to use in its place. Giants generally have a lot of hit points and deal a lot of damage, but with the exception of the Ogre Mage, few tricks. They are your staple meatwagon enemies.

Effective Weapons
Excalibur, Ogrekiller
The Giant family is pretty small, but you will run into them quite a lot. You won't find any Giant-killing weapons until you're pretty much done fighting Ogres, but the Ogrekiller is very useful against the Gigas bosses in the Mysidian Tower.
