The giant aliens are a sapient species of massive humanoids.
Biology[]
The giant aliens have Human-like appearances, although they are very massive, able to hold an adult Human in the palms of their hands.
Culture and society[]
Little is known about the society of the giant aliens. They do not seem to care much for smaller beings, not showing much interest upon seeing a Human, although they do see Humans as "tiny men." Despite recognizing their physical similarities, the giant aliens do not care if they kill small lifeforms, treating them more like insects or animals, and appear disinterested in exploring for other alien creatures.
Technology[]
The giant aliens have technology capable of interstellar travel, using gargantuan spacecrafts. It can be assumed that their spacecrafts contain self-repairing technology that can only be used when grounded, as the giants landed on the unidentified planet's surface to repair their ship and only needed to stay for a few minutes.
History[]
Peter Craig's body in the hand of a giant alien, crushed to death
After a Human astronaut named Peter Craig enslaves a race of tiny sapient aliens on an unnamed rocky planet as his subjects, promoting himself as a god, two giant aliens land nearby. They walk over to the canyon that Peter Craig and the tiny aliens are in, easily towering over it. Peter Craig yells at them that he is the only god on the planet, demanding that the giants leave. One of the giant aliens sees him and picks him up to inspect him, accidentally crushing him to death in the process. He shows Peter to the other giant, saying that he has picked up a tiny little man, to which the other giant only replies that he has crushed the tiny being to death. The first giant asks if there could be any more tiny beings around, but is told that it doesn't matter, as the giants were only there to make repairs to their ship. The first giant discards Peter's body, and they both leave the planet.
