The giants were dangerous brutes in close combat; surprisingly fast, and dangerously strong. If engaged solely from a distance, though, they'd swiftly disappear into the undergrowth, using the brambles for cover and almost seeming to teleport away. And, even when they were engaged up close, the very land seemed to come alive, swiping at them during combat - even to the point of striking during spellcasting, to try and interrupt it.
