Pretty sure they had a chance to see through invis. They didn't always see through it.

Mountain giants in Kunark (at least, in FM and DL) sometimes see through invis here. I honestly don't remember how it worked on live, but if someone has supporting evidence for mountain giants, maybe there's evidence for/against the old-world giants doing it too?

In the eq.castersrealm.com archives, once they added guides to their pages, there's a rogue guide. One of them is RP style from a halfling PoV. It explains giants conning kos while invis/hidden but not really seeing invis. Anyone who cares enough to find it can track down the archive from that information.

Had more to do with a bug in their faction code than them actually seeing invis.

Wanted to necro bump this just to show that guide Uthgaard is referencing, found it here:

When you are hidden, CON EVERYTHING. Some things can see through it. If it's indifferent you are ok, if it's anything but indifferent, use discretion. Some Mobs that are scowling at you while hidden, can't actually see you, but because they will KOS anything the message is not indifferent. Hill giants and Sand Giants are one example.

I made another thread here regarding dev comments on why / how this is possible, was a flag on mobs setting them to 'AggroPC', which indeed caused them to con scowling while invis, but not attack. I explain it a bit better in the thread.
