Paul Bunyan

Origin: American folklore

Type: Giant

Paul Bunyan was a giant lumberjack with enormous strength, thought to have dug out the Grand Canyon by dragging his axe behind him. His footsteps created lakes in Minnesota, and he built Oregon’s Mount Hood by piling rocks on top of a campfire. He stars in many adventures, accompanied by his blue ox named Babe, who was also giant, measuring around 42 axe handles wide.
