Jhogwin is the Dothraki name[1] for the stone giants that once inhabited the Realm of the Jhogwin, the northernmost region of the snowcapped Krazaaj Zasqa in northern Essos. They were massive creatures, said to have been twice as large as the giants of Westeros.[2]

History

The Jhogwin became extinct a thousand years ago, leaving behind their massive bones.[2] According to legend, the last Jhogwin was slain by Gharak Squint-Eye, jhattar of the Jogos Nhai, at the Battle in the Howling Hills.[3]
