Processional giants are costumed figures in European folklore, particularly present in Belgian, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and English folkloric processions. The main feature of these figures is typically their wooden, papier maché or -more recently- synthetic resin head, whilst bodies are covered in clothing matching the costume's theme.
