On top of the Mournful Giant and the mammoth funeral in Skyrim, giants have sacred burial grounds for their own kind according to the book Giants: A Discourse from Elder Scrolls Online. Giants also have complex funeral ceremonies for the deceased. Whether these paintings are related to rituals or creative expression, they show that giants have an emotional and intellectual capacity that they express through the arts. The patterns even make their way onto cows at giant campsites, who have been painted on by farmers and given as offerings to giants. Giants also create tattoos by etching these patterns into their flesh, as spiral scars can be seen on their bodies. At many giant campsites, patterns can be seen painted on the surrounding environment. Giants appear to have a long history of creatively expressing themselves in Skyrim. Giants Have Intricate Histories, Cultures, And Rituals In the book All About Giants from Elder Scrolls Online, giants are described “primitive” and “simple” beings driven to violence from “battlelust.” However, giants host complex rituals and emotions both within the giant community and with other species in Skyrim. The Mournful Giant highlights an intelligence and heart behind Skyrim’s often monstrous depiction of the giant species. The Mournful Giant will not interact with players even if they walk directly in front of him, revealing a depth to his emotions. While there, players will find the Mournful Giant watching his recently deceased mammoth lying in a body of water that contains the bones of other mammoths who were brought there to pass on to their flying mammoth brethren. This ritual can be witnessed in Skyrim at an unmarked hot spring northeast of Mistwatch. This connection between Skyrim's giants and their mammoths is so strong that when mammoths pass away, giants will hold a funeral-like ceremony for them.

The giants use the mammoths for their milk, which they use to make cheese the mammoths then receive protection from the giants, who with one swing of their giant's clubs can send Skyrim players flying. The two creatures share a mutualistic symbiotic relationship in which both benefit from the other. The giants of Skyrim are known for herding mammoths. However, Skyrim's Mournful Giant suggests there may be more to the game's largest monsters than meets the eye. Their size, speed, and club-wielding place them next to dragons in terms of the most powerful enemies in all of the Elder Scrolls series. The giants of Skyrim are amongst the scariest creatures in the game.
