Actually, the norse "giants" or "jotuns" as we called them varied considerably. Some where stupid, but most where not. Many had considerable magical capabilities, and the norse gods and jotuns often interacted on friendly terms too. Several of the gods and jotuns had children together, and Loke, the trickster of the norse mythology was a jotun living among the gods.
