“Fänggen (in the narrower sense) are always female, their husbands being the Waldriesen (forest giants; sg. Waldriese), wilde Männer (wild men; sg. wilder Mann) or Waldmänner (forest men; sg. Waldmann). Those giants are a danger to their own offspring, though, which is why the Fänggen give their daughters away to human farms for them to serve there as maids.”
