"A giant stood before him, twenty feet high, its head hidden in shadow, nothing but its treelike, hairy shins illuminated by light from the castle doors."
— This giant during the Battle of Hogwarts[src]

This giant was a member of the giant colony who fought Grawp in the Battle of Hogwarts fighting for Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters.[1]

Biography[]

The Battle of Hogwarts[]

He was among the giants who fought in the Battle of Hogwarts on 2 May 1998 for Voldemort's side. During the battle, he smashed a window with his fist, sending shattered glass over Harry Potter, and tried to grab people through the window. Ronald Weasley warned Hermione Granger not to Stun him, as doing would crush half the castle. However, he was distracted by the arrival of Grawp, who he charged with a savage roar, grappling with his runt kin in a ferocious wrestle. The giant's gargantuan size massively outweighed Grawp's undersized stature.[1]

Physical appearance[]

He was said to be twenty feet tall, and "gargantuan" in size.[1]
