One Elden Ring dataminer has given us all a closer look at two of the game’s gigantic NPCs, including “what is probably the largest dragon in any From Software game so far, depending on how particular you are about what’s allowed to be called a dragon.”
Please be aware there may be spoilers ahead.
Zullie The Witch has shared a new video, highlighting the Great Jar and Greyoll.

“One tool Elden Ring uses to add enemy variety without needing new assets is creating resized versions of other NPCs,” Zullie explains. As such, “the Great Jar and Greyoll make quite an impression for what probably wasn’t that much work on the development side of things.”
Both of these NPCs can be found in the Northern half of Caelid. The Great Jar sits near a currently inaccessible arena (smells like DLC to me), while Greyoll can be found in Greyoll’s Dragonbarrow.
As Zullie points out in the video, a lot of the NPCs, regardless of their size, will use the same animations as their smaller counterparts. “As a result, we can force these complacent giants to get up, as they have access to all the animations of their smaller kin,” Zullie states.
