The supplied sources do not record a mythological origin story for the Gegants de Santa Eugènia de Ter. Documentary evidence available to this entry consists of a short Wikidata identification that lists them as processional giants from Girona and a fragmentary CCCB text that uses the word 'gegants' metaphorically. Beyond situating the figures within the broader Catalan practice of gegants (large processional effigies used in municipal festivals), no historical genesis, founding legend, or creation narrative for these specific giants is documented in the provided materials.
The sources provided identify these figures only as 'processional giants' from Girona and give no detailed visual description for the Santa Eugènia de Ter pair. From that classification one can say they are large, human-shaped festival effigies (gegants) used in processions, but the supplied texts do not specify height, dress, gender, materials, iconography, or other visual particulars for these specific examples.
The available documentation does not ascribe supernatural powers or autonomous agency to the Gegants de Santa Eugènia de Ter. Their role, as indicated by the sources, is performative and civic: they are carried and displayed in public processions and festivals. No behaviors beyond their function as processional effigies are described in the provided material.
