Giant-kin are large humanoids related to the 'true' giants in the "Dungeons & Dragons" role-playing game.

The mythology of the "Forgotten Realms" has it that the mother of all giants, Othea, cheated on her unfaithful husband, Annam, the father of giants, with Ulutiu. Othea and Ulutiu sired the four giant-kin races: Firbolgs, Verbeegs, Voadkyn, and Fomorians. Othea also conceived the ogre and troll races with Vaprak.
