Giants That Spawn Naturally

This plugin takes direct inspiration from FatMarleys' plugin FatGiants, which in turn was inspired by NaturalGiants. This plugin also takes inspiration from NodinChan's MobJockeys.

This plugin was originally written by rmh4209, continued on by pkt77, and is now in the hands of Mammothskier.

The worst thing you can say about a game is it's too easy.”
