The frost giant, H, is a giant in NetHack. As with all giants, they can throw boulders (and can start with one).
Strategy
Eating a frost giant corpse is a source of cold resistance, but they are usually ignored in this respect in preference of cold-resistant monsters that appear earlier in the game (such as blue jellies and winter wolf cubs). You can also increase your strength when you eat a frost giant corpse (by the same amount as for a non-cursed tin of spinach).
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.
