Given that both Durn and Maggoc 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 power to the Azerothian variety, such as [[Malorne]], [[Cenarius]], or [[Aviana]]. |

From the Burning Crusade Bestiary:
Monstrous. Cyclopean. Terror incarnate. Words cannot begin to describe the terrible gronn of Outland, the immortal demigods of the ogre race. Some say the gronn gave rise to the lesser ogres, yet if so, they show but little love for their children, as the savage brutes lord over the ogre clans with an iron fist. There are said to be only seven gronn in all of existence, and they are not famed for their intelligence. Nonetheless, such rumors are cold comfort in light of the undeniable fact that the gronn wield devastating power.
The Gronn were first mentioned in the Burning Crusade trailer at BlizzCon. Their image was also shown, but not identified until the release of the bestiary, several months later.
Known Gronn
- Gruul the Dragonkiller, the raid boss in Gruul's Lair is a Gronn, and perhaps the mightiest of them all.
- There is a Gronn outdoor raid boss, Durn the Hungerer, rampaging around Oshu'Gun in Nagrand. He is marked as the Son of Gruul, and is very big.
- There is a Gronn waiting around in the Blade's Edge Mountains who is the son of Gruul. His name is Maggoc.
- Given that it is said there are only 7 Gronn known to exist, that would leave 4 more after Gruul, Durn and Maggoc, assuming all the Gronn still live.
- There are a few elite monsters in Nagrand, called Mountain Gronns, that are walking around near Warmaul Hill and will fight with Ogres. These are probably lesser Gronns.
- Nath, may be a gronn.
