Excuse me?
A giant land creature would need huge muscles and bones proportionally and humans don't have that proportion to support being a giant.

You have to think of Plato and the perfect state. In the Republic Plato outlines the union of the soul by describing the union of the perfect state. Hobbes plays with this idea by saying the union and perfection of the state works like the body of a man, each part of society functioning in a different aspect towards its being.
>Art goes yet further, imitating that rational and most excellent woke of Nature, Man. For by Art is created that great Leviathan called a Common-Wealth, or State, which is but an artificial Man; though of greater stature and strength than the Natural...in which Sovereignty is an artificial soul.
