Breaking News is an unsettling creation from the renowned horror artist Trevor Henderson. Its iconic twisted appearance, imposing size, and enigmatic nature have established it as one of Henderson's most celebrated Giants, alongside The Wandering Faith.

Appearance[]

Breaking News presents as an unnervingly tall, humanoid figure, though its form is grotesquely twisted and disfigured. Its body is enveloped in jet-black skin that absorbs light, adding to its eerie presence. This enigmatic skin covers its entire malformed body from head to toe.

The creature's legs and torso are vaguely human-like but devoid of typical features such as hair. It exhibits a gaunt, malnourished appearance, with visible ribs and disproportionately thin, short legs.

Its arms, similarly hairless and cloaked in its unique skin, are extraordinarily long, reaching the ground and contrasting sharply with its short legs. These arms are even thinner than its legs, with slightly larger forearms.

The most distinctive feature of Breaking News is its grotesquely elongated neck and crooked head. The neck, several times longer than normal, bends in unnatural directions, resulting in a perpetually drooping head. The head itself is featureless, lacking eyes, mouth, ears, or nose, amplifying its nightmarish visage.

Personality[]

The behavior and personality of Breaking News remain largely shrouded in mystery, as Trevor Henderson has provided minimal information beyond two images with vague captions. However, as a confirmed member of The Giants, we can infer its nature based on other Giants.

Breaking News is almost certainly a Destruction Giant. Its stature is insufficient to reach the skies for salvation tasks, and it lacks the extendable tendrils characteristic of Collection Giants. Its humanoid form further suggests its role is not to collect but to destroy.

Thus, it likely roams, seeking cities or human settlements to obliterate, targeting those it deems sinful or unworthy while sparing others for collection by Giants such as The Wandering Faith or Remain Indoors. Images suggest it often remains stationary for extended periods, unlike other Giants typically seen in motion, possibly indicating it is asleep in these photos, supported by the fact that all images are taken at night.

Whether Breaking News requires sustenance is unknown, but it is improbable given that most Giants do not depend on such necessities.

Abilities[]

Breaking News's colossal size allows it to inflict widespread devastation, particularly with its human-like hands capable of seizing individuals or demolishing structures. Its humanoid body implies significant speed when running, and it may crawl on all fours for additional velocity, though it appears to prefer bipedal movement. Its jet-black skin provides natural camouflage against the night sky, concealing it while asleep.

Like most Giants, it functions without eyes or conventional senses, suggesting enhanced or supernatural abilities, potentially including echolocation.

A prevailing theory posits that Breaking News and The Giant With Red Dots are the same entity. If true, Breaking News would also possess the ability to generate red glowing lights on its torso, disorienting its victims and enhancing its predatory effectiveness.

Trivia[]

• The second image of Breaking News also featured the initial images of Body Worm and That Bat.
• Breaking News is likely the first Giant to invade a specific area, causing widespread panic and making headlines, which inspired its name.
• It is highly probable that The Giant with Red Dots is the same entity as Breaking News, given their numerous similarities, or they are at least closely related.
• The Fire Giant may also share a connection, given the visual similarities.
• The caption of its second image, “The world is ending again,” suggests that such catastrophic events are recurring, likely referring to the arrival of Giants on Earth.
• It implies that Giants appear in waves on specific “Visiting Days,” rather than constantly.
• The wording of the caption indicates that the impact of the Giants is akin to an apocalyptic event, probably referring to the extensive destruction and loss of life rather than the literal end of the world.
