The hill giant, H, is a monster that appears in NetHack. Despite the stone giant having the lowest difficulty of the giants, the hill giant has lower base damage, which is also the lowest among all giant humanoids.
As with all giants, they can pick up and throw boulders, and eating their corpse may increase your strength.
Generation
Hill giants can appear in groups, and may be generated with a small assortment of gems, along with a chance of receiving a boulder.
Encyclopedia entry
Giants have always walked the earth, though they are rare in
these times. They range in size from little over nine feet
to a towering twenty feet or more. The larger ones use huge
boulders as weapons, hurling them over large distances. All
types of giants share a love for men - roasted, boiled, or
fried. Their table manners are legendary.
