| | '''Giant Pillars''' are members of the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]]. They are tall, gray pillars with a face. They appear in the [[Wii]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. Giant Pillars are also a sub-species of [[Screaming Pillar]]s. They are bigger than Screaming Pillars, but their scream is not as high-pitched. Along with Screaming Pillars, Giant Pillars appear in the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]] world level, [[Canopy Cannons]]. Though, this is the only level they appear in, if the pillars come into contact with [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]], they will take out the Kongs instantly. Unlike Screaming Pillars, Giant Pillars can not be defeated. |

They are a larger variant of Screaming Pillars with a scream that is much louder and more intense.
