In "the world" Giant Monsters have a hidden level that denote the powers they have access to (and sometimes loot dropped, like in Rikti raids) but the GM tag makes them scale on a per character fighting them basis.
I expect the level listed in the MA is actually superfluous, but I expect someone who has actual experience with them will be along shortly.

You can place them at pretty much any mission level. If you place them below their listed level they have vastly reduced rewards (all the way down to boss equivalent).

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
I've only used the giant malta robot and the archnos spaceship, both were up to lvl 54 so i didn't have an issue. What I haven't tried has been to use a lower level monster in a higher level mission..will be giving that a try today as the ones in the lvl 45-54 range is pretty limited.

I tried a lower level monster but it set my mission lower as well (range is set to 1-54, so a level 17 monster set the mission to 17).

I have a question regarding our ability to place Giant Monsters in AE. This was a feature added a while back, but I never got around to really testing it. Now I'm looking at my options, and noticing the level ranges are pretty small. Like I think the Kraken was 17-17 or something along those lines. Does this mean that if I want to have a mission where the Kraken is the giant monster at the end, I have to run it at that specific level and can't have, say, a level 50 mission with the Kraken as the endboss?
Also, is there any way to recolor the giant monsters in AE the way you can other enemies?
