No mythological origin is recorded in the cited source. The name indicates a civic or locality-based origin: these are gegants belonging to or representing the 'Esquerra del Ter' (the Left of the Ter), a toponymic designation linking the figures to a community or neighborhood on the Ter river in the Girona area. Their origins, makers, and any founding narratives are not documented in the available source.
The source identifies them only as processional giants (gegants), implying large anthropomorphic effigies designed to be carried or supported in parades. The entry provides no specific details on materials, dimensions, costume, facial features, or construction techniques. Any typical features of Catalan gegants (such as oversized heads and frames for carriers) are not specified in the source and thus are not asserted here.
Described solely in functional, performative terms: the gegants take part in processions and public celebrations. The source does not ascribe any supernatural abilities or interactions; they function as cultural and ceremonial figures within festival practice.
