Giant

A giant is an unused over-sized monster mob in Java and Legacy Console editions that resembles a zombie.

A giant drops 5XP experience points when killed and has a chance of dropping some of its equipment if it has any.

No biome includes giants on their spawn lists, so they can never spawn naturally. Giants also have no spawn egg.
