Gegants i Nans de l'Arboç

No mythological origin is recorded in the available source. The surviving documentation identifies these objects as manufactured processional figures from l'Arboç; within that civic context they are produced, maintained, and presented by members of the local community for use in public processions and festival events. Their 'origin' is therefore as communal cultural artefacts created for parade and celebration rather than as beings with a legendary birth or divine genealogy.

The single source provides no descriptive details of the specific Gegants i Nans de l'Arboç beyond labeling them 'processional giants.' As processional gegants and nans in the Catalan tradition, they are understood in that broader category to be large human-form effigies designed to be carried in parade: typically constructed with an internal frame and a costume and manipulated by one or more bearers. However, the source does not supply particulars on materials, costume, proportions, iconography, or the number and identities of the figures in l'Arboç.

The source does not attribute any supernatural powers or autonomous behaviors to the figures. Their functional 'abilities' are performative and civic: as large effigies they provide a visual focal point in processions, embody communal identity or local tradition, and are carried and animated by human participants during festivals. The entry contains no accounts of animate agency, interaction with the unseen, or effects upon people beyond their role in public ritual performance.
