	Standing more than twice as tall as the tallest giantman, the frost giant trails frost and snow in his wake. Seemingly carved from living ice and snow, icy blue eyes set beneath a heavily furrowed brow and a tangled mop of icy blue hair provide a splash of color against the frost giant's dull white frost-covered skin.		<pre{{log2\|margin-right=26em}}>Standing more than twice as tall as the tallest giantman, the frost giant trails frost and snow in his wake.

	The frost giants of [[Glatoph]] will also be with [[arctic titan\|arctic titans]], which have the ability to cast [[Weapon Fire (915)]] if you have low Elemental TD. The hunting area can quickly turn into a swarm, and the titans use the stomp knockdown maneuver more regularly than the frost giants. It is helpful to use [[Elemental Wave (410)]] to pin the room down before trying to stand back up. Frost giants have the ability to give themselves an AS boost, up to around +288 when swinging their war hammers. While frost giants do not generate with shields, they will pick up those looted from titans. Frost giants will waste turns attacking prone arctic titans.

	Sorcerers may use focused [[Energy Maelstrom (710)]] as crowd control on frost giants, which will quasi-lock them into stun ~~but~~ ~~usually~~ ~~not~~ ~~kill~~ ~~them~~. However, they will try to leave the room if their movement frees up, so multiple vorteces risk wasting mana. Titans are a better [[Sacrifice]] target than giants, being easier to stun with less hit points. Very easy to make your mind need rest within a few minutes, if you have enough DS and TD to safely hunt the glacier.

	When frost giants think they are alone in a room, they will sit down to tend to their wounds. This is an easy way to trick them into dropping their DS for melee and bolt attacks. They only wear full leather for armor, which leaves them relatively vulnerable. Titans let themselves bleed, making better [[Blood Burst (701)\|blood batteries]].
