In ages past, they assisted the titans with the creation of the world: They crafted the peaks, the cliffs and the caves of Azeroth's mountains. They have always been implacable foes of those who would despoil nature, thereby harming the titans' great work. Recently, the mountain giants reawakened to discover their world beset by blood and fire. Pulling trees from the ground to use as clubs, they joined the night elves against the Scourge and the Burning Legion. Mountain giants appear to be made mostly of stone with tough bits of plant - wood and thick vines and the like - interspersed here and there. Many bear patches of moss that grew during their long time of dormancy. They are massive and slow moving, but pack a wallop. Several wallops, in fact. Mountain giants are few in number. Most remain in the mountains around northern Kalimdor, assisting their night elf allies or engaging in inscrutable behavior that probably helps nature somehow. Only rumors speak of young mountain giants; some people believe that all the mountain giants that exist were created by the titans, and new ones are not going to show up. Every once in a while, a mountain giant leaves its home in Kalimdor and travels into the larger world. An adventuring giant usually joins a particular night elf friend, but not always. Mountain giants rarely explain their actions; they simply walk out of the forests, then travel the roads, or the trackless wilderness, or board a ship without a word; perhaps they simply assume that everyone else takes it on faith that they know what they're doing. On Mountain Giants As mentioned in Chapter 9: Creatures, mountain giants do not reproduce. All mountain giants that exist today are the same creatures that the titans created at the dawn of the world, and mountain giants tend to be perpetual and unchanging. Therefore, young mountain giants do not exist. Characters who advance in the mountain giant creature class are the product of unusual circumstances. Such a character might be a newly- awoken giant that has lost many of its original powers, or never had them in the first place. Perhaps it was an unfinished version of the other mountain giants. A 1st-level mountain giant might be the result of a one-time magical experiment meant to reproduce the titans' efforts, or perhaps a clutch of small and underdeveloped mountain giants exists somewhere in the world. Because of its potential departure from traditional
