Welcome to the forums!
You may find a Giantism template in Cyradon core book. Or you could use the monster-building rules from Monsters: a Field Guide

Simple

All monsters were built as Fighters - with stats of 75 across the board. You want tougher monsters, give them a few levels and up their skill bonuses accordingly....

Sounds good! I assume they'll be pretty odd...?

Yes, I suppose that was a pretty lame thing to say. :P I am imagining strange mutant creatures that may not fit into your typical fantasy RPG setting. This isn't really a bad thing IMO.

All,

As Nicholas mentioned on The Guild Companion there is a new world setting in the works.  It currently has 21 Mundane and 32 Magical, Undead and Elemental creatures along with 7 templates.

I won't say any more to keep the jinx monsters at bay.

Jinx Monsters sound like a good idea, hehe.  Every time they hit someone they become "unlucky" hehe.  They curse those they touch.  :)

And they are every where too - have +5000 racial bonus on stalk & hide, ambush and disrupt project - just too unfair.  :P

Hi Ancient,

Monsters: A Field Guide has great details to create your own monsters.

You've got several choices:
- Create your own monsters with different size: Medium to Large or even Huge. The Endurance and PP bonuses all change and M:AFG tells you what they are.
- Apply a Template - Cyradon has a template: Gigantic (or something like that), which you can apply to "boost" the monster. Good for Quick increases without having if you've overpowered the creature...
- Apply a giant talent to the base creature at Level 1 and simply give the creature extra talents and extra levels... Giant, Giant ant fighters, base stats 75 with extra talents, etc.....

Good Luck!

Or you can do what I do. Give them the stats, skills, abilities etc that I want and call the monster something different. Giant Soldier Ant, Fire Ant, Queen Ant, Ant Hybrid (ant/scorpion) etc I use the basic template as a guide then add in what ever to make them as tough as the group they're facing.

Yeah, Thats what I would have done, but I wanted to give him the easier options instead o fcreating a monster from scratch, which is really what that is...

That way is more fun that what I wrote, but a more work for the GM... :)
