Golganneth the Thunderer is the son of Aman'Thul and Eonar. The giant Male Aesir Titan is platinum-skinned and his weapon is a massive horn he holds on his hand. Lightning flows constantly off his eyes. Golganneth created the skies and seas of Azeroth and all the living creatures of the sea 147,000 years ago. Father creator of the Sea Giants.
Golganneth takes joy in his creations and supports the Pantheon's mission to bring order to chaos. Yet, within, he loves the fury of nature. He engages combat by blowing his massive viking-like horn weapon known as Shargahn. The horn's sound can shatter mountains, but he prefers not to use it often as his duty is to create, not to destroy. Golganneth is the embodiment of thunderstorms and lightning, storms and winds.
The Sea Giants celebrate in ceremonies their venerated Golganneth many times during a year by feeding small fishes and crafting and sounding musical horns in his honor.
Golganneth is mostly based on the "thunderer"-archetype common to many mythologies, though the prominence of the horn implies a reference to the Norse god Heimdall (who does not match the archetype). His province of the sea and storms resembles the Norse god Njord. See Myth for more information.
