The giant humanoid is a monster class that appears in NetHack, and is represented by the uppercase H glyph (H).

Giant humanoids are designated internally by the macro S_GIANT.[1] This is not to be confused with the M2_GIANT flag used for all forms of giant, though all non-undead giants are part of the monster class.

The class contains the following monsters:

Common traits

All monsters in the class are naturally humanoid in shape. They are all huge in size except for the minotaur (which is large), and are all carnivorous monsters, with the titan being the only omnivore.

Minus the ettin and minotaur, all giant humanoids are capable of lifting and throwing boulders.
