Stone-Giants

Here's what Robert Foster makes of them:

STONE-GIANTS Creatures of great size and strength living in the high passes of the northern Misty Mountains. The stone-giants are mentioned only in The Hobbit, and may be no more serious than Golfimbul.
-A Guide To Middle-Earth

So yeah, I guess there really is nothing to them.
