The Yhorm the Giant meme is based on concept art for the 2016 video game Dark Souls III. It depicts the player character, the Ashen One, standing defiantly before the colossal boss Yhorm on his throne. While the image conveys a sense of overwhelming odds and an epic struggle, the internet adapted it to represent any situation where an individual faces a daunting task or a powerful adversary. Paradoxically, fans of the game often find the meme humorous because Yhorm is famously one of the easier bosses to defeat using a specific in-game item, adding a layer of irony to the David vs. Goliath visual representation.
