Ice giants are tall, light blue giants that appear at certain icy areas of the game. They are the second strongest giant type out of the standard giants, weaker than Fire giants, but stronger than Moss and Hill giants.

Ice giants are assigned only by Vannaka and Krystilia, although they aren't often killed by players outside of Wilderness slayer due to their poor loot compared to the weaker moss giants and hill giants. Ice giants have separate variants where they appear to be holding different weapons; a longsword, a warhammer, or a macuahuitl.
