• Giant-God Physiology

Capabilities

Users of this ability can gain the traits of a giant of godlike scale (or are one), these giants are immense creatures that embody aspects of nature or the cosmos and often stand in opposition to order, representing more primal and/or chaotic forces - though like their lesser giant cousins individuals vary immensely and thus they can range from malevolent, neutral or benevolent in nature.

Stories of such beings exist in countless folk tales, religions and media across the world - they differ from regular giants in the sheer immensity of their powers - for example Utgard-Loki was so powerful he could trick gods like Thor and Loki into performing cosmic feats of strength for his own amusement, having Thor wrestle Old Age itself, making Thor drink from the ocean via an enchanted cup and most infamous of all trapping Thor and Loki within his glove.

Entire races of such beings can exist such as the Titans, the Fomorians and the Jotunn - some Oni in Japanese folklore also gain godlike powers far beyond even the formidable power of regular Oni, in fiction godlike giants are even more popular and can be found in multiple fantasy games, shows and novels.

Perhaps one of the most striking examples of giants with godlike powers and ambitions in mythology comes in the form of the Gigantomachy, an event in which a group of giants known as the Gigantes waged open war against the Greco-Roman gods and took the battle to Olympus itself, the very home of the pantheon and a place normally seen as completely above the rest of the cosmology : while the Gigantes were unsuccessful they were unable to be killed by the gods and were cast instead under mountains, the phenomena of volcanoes and earthquakes were thus blamed on the imprisoned Gigantes.
