Clans in the west stumbled upon these oddly formed creatures, they were deformed due to the unsettled terrain of their homeland. The giants lived in extreme rocky mountains and hills with pits and gully's which in turn produced the genetically asymmetrical creature over the years. Their bodies evolved with the difficult ever changing terrain. The giants reproduce without the means of sex, as you can see a new creature forming in the stomach of the one pictured. This reproduction takes place at the end of a giants life cycle, almost as a rebirth so to speak. Neither two giants look exactly alike, each has its own distinct deformations, distinct size of eyes, number of eyes, variation in the proportions of their limbs etc. The Clans armour evolved in the direction to mimic this creatures body structure as well which became very useful and fitting for the warriors.
