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 they sired the four giant-kin races: Firbolgs, Verbeegs, Voadkyn and Fomorians. Othea also sired the ogre and troll races with Vaprak.
