The '''[[Giants (Greek mythology)|Gigantes]]''' (also called the '''Great Giants''') are giant-like beings that were made by Gaea and Tartarus to overthrow Olympus. They were previously defeated by the gods and Heracles during the Giantomachy. Each was meant to oppose a specific god. They can only be defeated by a god and a demigod working together. The Giants are described as very tall with [[dragon]]-like legs and shaggy hair.
* '''[[Alcyoneus]]''' – A 40 ft. Gigantes with rust-colored dragon-like legs whom Hazel Levesque almost resurrects during World War II. Alcyoneus eventually rises in ''The Son of Neptune''. He is invincible as long as he remains in his homeland which after his resurrection is Alaska. Frank, Hazel, and Arion defeat him after driving him into Canada. He is the bane of Hades/Pluto.
* '''[[Clytius]]''' – A 20 ft. Gigantes with ash-colored dragon-like legs. He opposes Hecate. Clytius appears in ''The House of Hades''. He guards the living side of the Doors of Death in Epirus. He is defeated by Hecate, Jason, Leo, Piper, Nico, Frank and Hazel.
* '''[[Damasen]]''' – A 20 ft. peaceful Gigantes with red dragon-like legs who appears in ''The House of Hades'' and is exclusive to the series. He had been made to oppose Ares/Mars. Damasen had been exiled to Tartarus as he was peaceful not violent and for refusing to take part in the ancient fight against the gods and Hercules. Percy and Annabeth encounter him in Tartarus when Iapetus (Bob) brings them to his lair. When the personification of Tartarus arrives near the Doors of Death, Damasen confronts him with Iapetus so that Percy and Annabeth can escape back to the living world.
