Characteristics edit
The gigant armour is generally portrayed as a golden or copper-coloured suit of heavy armour composed of multiple plates, and in the 1995 official guidebook for VI it was shown to provide shin guards as well. Each of the shoulders contains a prominent spike. It is said to have been forged by giants.
