If you didn't know already, when a Creeper gets struck by lightning (very low chance), it becomes charged and has twice the blast radius...
This got me thinking. Seeing as lightning has the ability to change mobs in Minecraft and Giants are already (partially) coded into the game (although they aren't actually in the game yet), I thought "What is a Zombie gets struck by lightning... Maybe it can mutate into a Giant!"
There will be a lot of problems with this that Mojang (if this idea ever gets reviewed) will have to deal with (such as how a Giant moves, sensing, issues with a Giant getting stuck in blocks, etc).
Just a thought, post comments!
Oh, and if you have a negative thought towards this, don't hate. Use constructive criticism instead!
Someone else suggested the zombies get powered up from lightning as well and can break doors fast, run faster, and do more damage, but I prefer just being able to run faster. Quite frankly, that idea sounds better. However, I do feel Giants need to be added as a boss mob. (in some kind of structure in the sky.. fee.. fi.. fo.. fum..) Granted, they should get a few improvements and tweaks. (and maybe a nerf on the damage)

"I don't plan to add a new dimension at the moment. It's just to performance heavy on servers, and the current dimensions need more attention before we start adding new ones." < Yeah, like biomes or actual varied terrain in the nether. Nether ruins didn't do the trick at all.
I like the idea of giants, but not as zombie mutants. Something more like the ones in Skyrim.

No, there has never, ever been a sandbox game with a story or ending... except Grand Theft Auto... and Saints Row... and Red Dead Redemption... and Crack Down... and Assassins Creed...

It's already irritating being unable to /smite pigs without getting zombie pigmen running around everywhere, but GIANTS?!
I prefer to not have to /butcher every time I make a slight miscalculation.
