Forest Giants are a species of giant. They have blueish-green fur, antlers, and glowing white eyes. They are the closest living relatives to the giants of old and their age is unknown.

Appearances

Graphic novels

In the graphic novels, 2 forest giants have a cameo on the first page of "Hildafolk". Later in the same story, Hilda and Twig come across a forest giant who is trying to find his way around the woods, but complains that his map is useless since everything looks the same from above.

Animated series

A forest giant is first seen on an illustration in the book "Giants of Old" in "Chapter 2: The Midnight Giant"

In "Chapter 6: The Nightmare Spirit", a forest giant is seen in a nightmare given to Hilda by David's Marra.

The first Forest Giant to make a physical appearance in the show appears in "Chapter 11: The House in the Woods". This forest giant is the only one that Hilda ever interacts with in the series, but in her nightmare in "Chapter 6" she remarked that "Forest Giants do not eat people", thus proving there are more.

Novelization

In "Hilda and the Hidden People", Hilda briefly catches a glimpse of a Forest Giant when she and Johanna are on their way to Trolberg, and remarks how much smaller the giant is compared to Jorgen.

"Hilda and the Nowhere Space", which adapts the events from season 1's "Chapter 6" and "Chapter 11", features both the Forest Giant from the nightmare created by David's marra, and the real Forest Giant that Wood Man ends up losing Hilda to. The scene in which this giant also attacks Alfur and Twig, and is driven off by the Great Raven is omitted from the novelization.

In "Hilda and the White Woff", Frida and David briefly spot a Forest Giant when they go to the Great Forest to look for Hilda and Johanna.

Apperance and personality

In contrast to the ancient giants like Jorgen, who are big as mountains and usually have a calm, friendly personality, Forest Giants are about the size of a tall tree. They have green fur and white, antler-like horns on top of their heads.

The one that Hilda meets in "Chapter 11" and "Hilda and the Nowhere Space" is also quite obnoxious, and seems to suffer from an inferiority complex due to not being as big as other giants. According to "Hilda's Book of Beasts and Spirits", it is common for Forest Giants to become disgruntled if they are compared to their bigger ancestors. It is thus advisable to never make remarks about their size.
