Giant (animal)
Scholars debate as to why the fabled giants of Kalathipsomi seem to be restricted to the province, though most agree that it is likely due to the vast, fruitful primordial forests and abundant dire game making it one of the few places on Aeras where they can still subsist purely on foraging and hunting, even at their scale. Often misunderstood to be stupid, aggressive, lumbering brutes, they are in fact anything but.

Often misunderstood to be stupid, aggressive, lumbering brutes, they are in fact anything but. Though the true extent of their intelligence is hotly debated, it is apparent that, at the very least, they are capable of higher reasoning and limited language. Furthermore, they are actually extraordinarily unlikely to attack unless provoked, and seem to regard humans as idle curiosities more than anything else.
Though it has taken us days to reach the deep woodland where they can be found, once their trail is picked up, it is trivial to follow. Not only are they huge, but they almost invariably live in small groups and travel together, making the path of their movements all the more apparent. We've been tracking this particular group for some time, and waiting for one of their kind to separate from the rest in search of food - attacking all of them at once would be a foolish endeavor. As soon as I spot the opportunity, I begin my approach.
