Giants appear in mythologies around the world as enormous, often supernatural beings of great strength. In Norse mythology, they are called giants or jotnar and are seen as both enemies and relatives of the Aesir gods. The Bible mentions giants in the form of the Nephilim, said to be the offspring of the sons of God and the daughters of humans. Many old folktales describe giants as wild, mountain-dwelling beings, often hostile toward humans. In modern times, giants have also been interpreted as symbols of ancient human mutations, extinct hominids, or even extraterrestrial hybrid beings.
