According to some the gronn gave rise to the lesser ogres, yet they show little love for their children - they rule the ogre clans with a brutal iron fist. There are said to be only seven gronn in all of existence, but there are many minor ones patrolling the western cliffs in nagrand. Gronn wield fearsome power; however, they are not famed for their intelligence.<ref>[http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/townhall/bestiary.html Burning Crusade Bestiary]</ref>

The gronn are mentioned in ''[[Rise of the Horde]]''; the [[ogre]]s claim that they were beaten and whipped by the gronn (many ogres bore whip scars on their backs). The ogres rebelled against the gronn with the assistance of [[Blackhand]] and the [[Horde (pre-Thrall)|Orcish Horde]].

==Speculation==

{{speculation}}
 
−
Given that most of the named Gronn are described as Gruul's sons, Gruul may be the first gronn, or else the being who created them. Given the use of the term "demigod," it's logical to assume that gronn are comparable in nature to the Azerothian variety, such as [[Malorne]], [[Cenarius]], or [[Aviana]].
 
−  
−
As for how powerful the Gronn are, this is more difficult to determine, as the power of demigods has a wide range. There are the mightiest demigods, such as Malorne, Cenarius, Aviana, [[Agamaggan]], [[Ursol and Ursoc]], but then there are the lesser ones, such as [[Omen]] and several others that are simple guardians of sacred sites here and there. Gronn could be theoretically anywhere on this scale, although if, say, Gruul was on par with [[Cenarius]], it is unlikely that if Cenarius was present in WoW that a 25-man raid would be able to take him down like Gruul.
 
−  
−
It is most probably so, that the seven gronn are demigods, but that there are differences in power amongst them, just as with their Azerothian counterparts. Gruul the Dragonkiller is the mightiest one; as mighty as Cenarius, Malorne or Aviana, albeit in a different way, while the other gronn, Durn, Maggoc, and the patrolling ones are lesser demigods, akin to the lesser Azerothian demigods.
 
−  
−
==Trivia==
 
−
Gronn seem to be rather fond of dragon hunting - there are several fully grown adult black dragons found impaled on spikes within the Blade's Edge Mountains, whilst some gronn take related titles such as "Gruul the Dragonkiller" and "Gorgrom the Dragon-Eater".
