A giant is a hostile mob, a zombie six times normal size, that nothing in the game spawns.

Spawning

A giant never spawns. No biome's spawn list includes it, and no monster spawner generates with it. It exists only in a world edited to hold one.

On Peaceful a giant is removed from the world.

Drops

A giant drops nothing.

Killing one earns the Monster Hunter achievement.

Behaviour

A giant is 3.6 blocks wide and 10.8 tall, and wears the zombie's skin.

It targets the nearest player within 16 blocks, if it can see them, and walks towards them. It also attacks any mob or player that hurts it.

It walks at 2.2 blocks per second, 50% of a player's walking speed.

It hits for 50 damage, but only within 2 blocks of its centre. That is inside its own body, so a player has to walk into it to be hit.

Unlike a zombie, it does not burn in daylight. With no target it wanders, choosing brighter spaces.
