Trivia

 * The Giantkiller may have initially been conceived as a spear, like the one originally used to "kill" the Giant, but was changed to a sword at some point before being added to the game files.
 * The in-game model for the Giantkiller appears to be a sword with a long, straight-edged blade, with a white glow. This model is currently also used for the Seismic Strike.
 * For some reason, this weapon's name is spelled in-game as "Giantkiller", possible due to a coding bug.
 * The flavor text is a reference to the phrase "The bigger they are, the harder they fall"
