What do you think of the giants being a menace to Bandle City?

If you are confused, a giant was antagonizing Bandle City in Heimerdinger's long-form bio.

We haven't heard anything about giants before or since. I assume this will be the main nuisance handled by the Bandle Gunners and Co., whom and represents (I assume). The question is, could this behemoth intruder be someone we know, or is it a new race of Valoran yet to be established?

If we explore the former, maybe it's ? He doesn't really have a new home in Valoran yet. If it's the latter, maybe Bandle City is now closer to The Great Barrier (if it's still canon) and Mt. Targon, where giants would fit into the influencing mythology?

What do make of this giant mystery?

I suppose that they were talking bout a giant yordle.

Who is a giant yordle?

Gnar

But Mega gnar is gnar when he is angry and i kinda doubt that he would have been scared by a turret,I think he would have most likely become even angrier and tried to smash it to pieces.

Maybe his rage was already "low" or "decreasing"? Who knows... maybe he didn't attack them because recognized them as "part of his race"?

Seems possible by Gnar's confirmed personality as a chilidish-trickster (1004) 4 year old that his feelings must of been mentally hurt by being attacked by his own kind, he is unaware that he can become Mega Gnar and maybe he was unaware he was causing havoc?

Don't you suppose they would've used the term monster for something looking like MegaGnar?

Well, Heimerdinger is a yordle scientist, so, if he sees a creature like Mega Gnar, the word "Giant" (yordle) would fit more than "monster"... Because "monsters" are fantasy things that dont exist, what you would describe as a "monster" its a simple animal from Runeterra... at least from the POV of a scientist like Cecil.

In other hand, Mega Gnar has features of a yordle... a big tailed one... for a human might seem like a monster, but for other yordles? he is a giant mutant yorlde.

PS: He is listed as a friend of Gnar, so, i wouldn't be surprised if after the "attack", Heimer studied the monster and discovered who is him.

A regular sized human would be considered a giant to a yordle, aaaand ive always assumed thats what Heimers lore was talking about.

Allthough, retconing in a race of giants would make sense for Gragus and Sion.

Yeah the question is if that was really a giant or a regular human (or maybe just a very big human). Anyway I'd like to hear more about said giant

I'm pretty sure Yordles are familiar with humans, though. I assume they wouldn't have any trouble handling a human simply for his size, either. Would they really use the word giant when referencing humans?

I would think its an actual giant and not Gnar or a large human.

Bandle City is pretty secluded from the rest of Runeterra, so its entirely possible a race of giants lives in the nearby mountains.

Mega Gnar would appear like a werebeast to a modern yordle. So you would think Heimer would use terms like, "creature", "beast", or "monster" to describe him.
