Fire giants, called ildjotunen in their own language, were master craftsmen giants that lived in volcanic and mountainous environments. Fire giants had very broad bodies, making them sort of dwarf-like in appearance, and bulky.[6][8] They stood roughly 18 feet (5.5 meters) tall, but they weighed over 7,000 pounds (3,200 kilograms), much heavier than a human of that height would weigh. Their skin was very dark, reminiscent of coal, and the color of their hair tended towards a spectrum of flaming orange or red, with similarly colored red eyes. Their clothing was usually flame-colored or black and singed. They also tended to wear armor that was forged from steel or dragon scales. Personality Fire giants often considered bravery as being one of the highest virtues anyone could and should have. They relished opportunities in which they could test their fortitude against formidable opponents.
