Hot Tiles only affect NW corner of Rock Giants (+1)
A Rock Giant is vulnerable to Hot Tiles, but only if the Hot Tile is under its NW corner. It can safely stand on a Hot Tile if any of the other corners are on it.
I also note that each of the three snakes will only be affected by hot tiles when their head is resting on it, including Rattlers (which were only affected on their tail) and Serpents (which were immune to hot tiles), but those seem sensible and consistent enough within DROD RPG's differing framework. The Rock Giants' partial immunity, however, is a rather large quirky inconsistency.
EDIT: On a similar note, a Rock Giant that dies due to a bridge falling from under it only has its NW corner displaying as it falls. Also note that only one tile has to fall out from under a Rock Giant to kill it - this does make sense given how Rock Giants die in DROD RPG, but can look a little strange even without the current graphical glitch.
