Storm Giants
Storm Giants are one of the races of Noble Giants, so named for their high intelligence and exceptional craftsmanship. Storm Giants are huge, strong and amazingly resilient. Their muscles and bones are as dense as iron, their skin is so thick and tough as to be almost entirely impervious to traditional weapons and they have a developed ability to function in the harshest environments known. Storm Giants have been seen working for (literally) days butchering krackens in chest deep water that is so cold it is freezing everything it touches. They can handle red-hot metals as easily as hot bread. When harvesting wood, their preferred method is to dig the entire tree out of the ground, then carry them back to their shops in groups of three or four huge trees.
