Giant
From WoWWiki
Giants are a type of creature or mob in the game similar to humanoids, but of the very large sort (above 3 meters or so) and larger than most Ogres. This includes most semi-intelligent large humanoids and some intelligent. Most giants are elite.
Most giants on Azeroth were created by the Titans as part of their ordering of Azeroth, meant to protect and oversee the land and ocean. During the Burning Legion's first invasion, nearly all of the giants were destroyed, and now only a handful remain in the most untouched areas of Azeroth; where they are still fulfilling their ancient duties, however some (Molten Giants and Baron Kazum for example) of them seem to serve old gods against their will. When Illidan threatened the security of the world, Arch Druid Furion Stormrage used his vast powers to call upon the aid of the Mountain Giants. Kael´thas ordered the dropping of huge crystals onto outland, which summoned giants and corrupted them. This explains why draenors giants seek to harm land instead of protecting.
