Giant Face Holes Theory.

[gackie]

So as everyone who knows anything knows, giants have holes in place of their faces. However, in Dark Souls 3, in a secret cutscene only unlocked by completing Onionbro's questline, you can see the very faint outline of a face in Yhorm's head hole. My theory is that, all giants have this feature, as a sort of natural helmet to protect their real heads. Like a natural hoodie. What do you peeps think?

They have howls in their face? So they have the voice of wolfs howling to the moon as their faces? You mean hole.

Ye, it's possible. But it's also possible that B-Team likes ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and don't like giants.

"B-Team" came up with them so this is probably just Derpazaki messing up the lore.

Found this through a quick google. Makes sense.

"This plays really well into something another user posted a while back, talking about the distinction between Giants and Golems. The theory basically ran that most of the "Giants" you see in Drangleic, including in the memories, are Golems harboring Giant souls. Basically, the giants used Golems as a form of reaching immortality, as the bodies don't age and can't be afflicted by the curse. Seeing a Giant with a face could be an indicator that this is in fact an actual, living (dead) Giant, and not one of the Golems we encounter elsewhere."

EDIT: However this is mostly Dark Souls 2 speculations, but it fits. Supposedly there is a Giant's corpse in Dark Souls 2 with a mouth.

There were giants in DS1 and we couldn't see their faces.

But Vendrick made the Golems. And Giants are a natural race.

The giant with a mouth was revealed to be an enemy scrapped in beta, it was supposed to be a mage giant.

I thought we could see the face of the giant blacksmith, more or less.
Besides, I think that Yhorm the Giant is as much a giant as Havel the Rock is an actual rock.

I don't know! It makes more sense than them having a black hole that eats all the light in their face.

Another idea would be that this hole is a unique Hollow state for the Giants, same as the Undead having a black spot on them as they turn Hollow..

Yhorm is indeed a giant, though. One theory would be the giants in DS2 aren't giants, just another race that was dubbed "giants" by Drangs.

That would make sense. But where are their faces and mouths?

Probably. Every creature that's tall may be called giant.

[gackie]

Let's not forget that most of the trees in Drangleic are dead ancient giants. It can be assumed by this that they are actually a different race, being made of wood and all.

Those giant clubbermen are only twice as tall as a human.

Or drangleiic giants simply have a different physiology than humans and lordran giants. They maybe just need a mouth and no eyes
