Giant kin is exactly that.Giants.

Hill Giants
Stone Giants
Frost Giants
Fire Giants
Cloud Giants
Storm Giants
Titans
Twoheaded Giants (Ettins)

I believe there are even more giant kins in AD&D like Giants from the elemental planes.

Yes? Only ... giants?? So the war hammer +4 vs. giant kin is of no use in SOA? That's nice.

no Korgan is considered medium-size as well, because they're stocky despite the height.

I saw Ice Giant yesterday in my ToB game.
Was fun to kill: like most giants, they are fun to kill :)

I think Verbeeg, Voadkin, Firbolg, and Fomorian Giants are also considered giant kin.

On the topic... If YAga-Shura is a Giant, then why is Nylee (His mother) not one? How exactly does that work?

The desciption of the hammer says: Giant humanoid. Meaning, giants (as spoken of before) and ogres and their kin.

The most incredible is not his mother, is his comcubine, that sex-slave in his lair. Try to figure what happens with that drow.

yea how does that work with the sex slave, he is 40 feet tall and she is five.... so uh wouldn't he split her in half or something? Also how the f(_)ck could nylee or whatever take care of a giant. At 3 he would be 10 feet tall or so and wtf would you do about a tantrum?
