This article or section contains lore taken from the Warcraft RPG books.

Storm giants are a mysterious race of Giants that reside in the Storm Peaks of Northrend. They are in charge of the crystal golems that collect crystals from the Crystalsong Forest.^{LoM 97} They’re impressive, more than 30 feet tall and powerfully built. Storm giants are capable of summoning small storms. Storm giants began in the Storm Peaks, and perhaps the dwarves and troggs as well. Myths say the Titans created them. When the titans disappeared, the storm giants remained and claimed Ulduar. They developed crystalline golems to aid them in their research and to defend them. Over time the giants have dwindled in number and grown ever more reclusive. They usually keep to themselves, hidden in their caves and tunnels below the surface, and avoid visitors. Now only a handful remains. The giants are a dying race desperately avoiding their fate. They seem to think another race will vanquish them some day, and so they hide in the Storm Peaks and Ulduar rather than girding for battle. They are too frightened to battle the Scourge, though apparently they hate it.^{LoM 109, 110}
