Sea giant Sea giants are gentle , aquatic proto - being giant s created by the titan s to help them dredge out the seas and lift the land from the sea floor of Azeroth . Description . Titans created the sea giants to dredge the oceans and to serve as guardians of Azeroth ’ s coastlines and oceans , and the fierce giants act as protectors of the waters even now . They keep a wary eye on ships and upon those who make their living on the ocean , such as fisherfolk . While not evil creatures , sea giants care nothing for the laws of land dwellers or the lives of the small beings that trespass in the waves . They tolerate no opposition — on the rare occasion when a sea giant issues a warning , he does so only once . Sea giants rarely interact with other races save to drive off trespassers or punish those who befoul the oceans . They live underwater but rise regularly to patrol their coastlines . Ancient and wise , sea giants nonetheless display a chaotic nature as unpredictable as the sea itself . Still , adventurers who tread carefully and speak convincingly may find a sea giant willing to trade information or secure safe passage in exchange for treasure or knowledge . Sea giants sometimes build underground settlements of coral and stone , though they rarely put much effort into such constructions . As guardians of the waves , they prefer to be able to pick up and leave at a moment ’ s notice to chase rumours of defilers . Sea giants are tasked to keep the oceans clean and safe . They seldom make their way to the surface world , instead preferring the isolation of the ocean bottom . They enjoy the worship of murlocs , but are the constant enemy of the naga . Of late , sea giants have taken to hunting out these corrupters , which has brought the sea giants closer and closer to the surface world . They stand around 18 feet tall and weigh about 10 , 000 pounds . Nomadic creatures , sea giants do not maintain lairs like others of their kind . Instead , they drag their belongings and wealth along with them in huge sacks crafted from the sails of sunken ships . Their watery home does not allow them to keep many goods , so they favour metals that will survive the ocean depths . Sea giants are not refined in their tactics . If on land , they will simply rush their target and try to stomp it out of existence . At sea , they will use their club or command of water to destroy their opponents . Once engaged in combat , they will fight to the death in their anger . Sea giants can hurl boulders , but they prefer close combat . A sea giant begins combat with a slam attack ( using its Bash feat ) against the nearest opponent ; if surrounded , he chooses the target who seems the largest or strongest . He then switches to his heavy pick and attacks the next - nearest opponent . He uses his Power Attack and Reckless Attack feats to their fullest degrees , hoping to kill an enemy outright and then Cleave into the next ; he generally positions himself near multiple foes , if possible , so that he can use his Great Cleave feat . Few remain , and those that do may attack you if you encounter them . The sea giants of Stranglethorn Vale are particularly malevolent : they are known for deliberately sinking ships and stealing their loot . Culture . Azeroth ' s sea giants venerate Golganneth and hold small ceremonies several times a year in his honor . These ceremonies involve the crafting and sounding of musical horns and the feeding of small fish .
