The mountain giants left the mountains to aid the night elves when the Burning Legion appeared in the world.ĭespite being creations of the titans, some mountain giants, like Baron Kazum, serve the Elemental Lieutenants of the Old Gods. The mountain giants are the night elves' most powerful allies of the forest. When the mountain giants are distraught, they rage in frustration and weep, and their tears fall upon the stones as shining crystals known as Stonetears. But when the forest is tainted, so too are they. When nature thrives, they are benevolent protectors and peaceful guardians. The cliff giants of Feralas are extensions of the earth itself. Many heroes recover enough of the Azsharite for the creation of powerful weapon's body. The giants devour trespassers, and their organic bodies are also transformed into Azsharite. The formations litter the southern arc, but few are ever recovered due to the extremely violent nature of the giants. The excrement from their consumption is a highly malleable and extremely strong crystal known as Azsharite. The ancient cliff giants of the southern region of Azshara consume the rock and buildings of the land for sustenance. However, mountain giants helped the night elves after the Battle of Mount Hyjal, and will continue to do so in Feralas if rallied. Short of a planetary threat, it is rare to see mountain giants, faerie dragons or chimaera fighting with a mortal army. The mountain giants assisted the night elves not due to a desire to help them in particular, but because the night elves were the largest local force who opposed the Burning Legion. They seem to have started sleeping when Loken initiated stasis of the giants. The mountain giants awoke from their "timeless slumber" when the Burning Legion attacked in the Third War, apparently having helped the night elves long ago. These giants can take incredible amounts of punishment from attackers. Now the mountain giants have pledged their courage and strength to the night elves' cause - and stand ready to banish the last remnants of the Burning Legion from the world.
Benevolent and solitary by nature, the mountain giants have awakened to find that the tranquil world they once helped to shape has become a hectic battlefield of fire and sorrow. Crafted epochs ago by the Titans from massive sections of stone, these creatures seek to protect the natural environment from any who would cause it harm. Mountain giants are composed of living stone and stout flora.
