Moss giants are fairly large creatures that live in Gielinor. They attack with Ranged and are thus weak against melee attacks. Moss giants are popular for training, especially on Free-to-play worlds, because they are one of the few creatures that drop Big bones. In addition, they are one of the few free-to-play monsters that are weak to slash attacks, making weapons such as the rune scimitar, longsword, battleaxe, claw or 2h sword the preferred choice. Moss giants are aggressive to players with a combat level of 102 or lower.

They are sometimes given out by Vannaka as Slayer assignments. Food is highly recommended for lower levelled players.

Locations

indicates members-only locations.

Level 28

• Pirates' Cove (10 moss giants).

A small group of Moss Giants found west of the fishing guild.

Level 51

Free-to-play

• Varrock Sewers (4 moss giants). There are 2 spots (2 per spot). The spots can be crowded. Members can be access these faster with shortcut from Edgeville Dungeon which requires 51 Agility.
• Crandor (3 moss giants). This is arguably the best place for free players to kill moss giants as there are three of them and there are rarely any other players on Crandor. They are found in the southwest area of the island, on the middle level (if using Ranged or Magic you can hit them from the bottom or top level if so wish, but beware the level 70 lesser demons on the top level and in the Crandor and Karamja Dungeon you must run pass to get there). Use of Rejuvenate can reduce the need for food, but it may only be used once every five minutes, and requires players to have a shield.
• At around level 37 Wilderness north of the pond and the Wilderness Volcano, in the greener area. The easiest way to get here is to use the canoe system which takes you directly to the pond. A few skeletons are wandering around and you can get killed by PKers at any time, so this area is not recommended.

Members

• Brimhaven Dungeon (requires either 875 coins or Karamja gloves 3).
• Chaos Tunnels (incredibly dangerous for lower level players due to the many different monsters within, unreliable nature of portals between chambers, and entrances are in the Wilderness).
• West of Fishing Guild (4 moss giants).
• Moss Giant Island, west of Brimhaven (5 moss giants). 10 Agility required. (This is an ideal location for Slayer tasks, as it's usually desolate and allows the player to easily rack up the kills. There are also two respawns of a Slice of cake.)
• Varrock Sewers resource dungeon (8 moss giants). 65 Dungeoneering required. This is an ideal spot to fight moss giants.

Level 61

• Glarial's Tomb May only be fought unarmed and without prayer. They play a role in the Waterfall and Roving Elves quests.

Update history

The update history project is a work-in-progress – not all updates to this topic may be covered below. See here for how to help out!

• update 5 February 2001 (Update):
  • Even though the Moss Giant was added on 5 February 2001 they weren't mentioned until 2 days later in Update:Newsletter 2.

Trivia

• The examine, "Bigger than your average moss giant." is a play on Yogi the Bear's words, "Smarter than your average bear".
• As referred to Armies of Gielinor, Moss Giants are followers of Guthix.
• As seen in the 6th Postbag from the Hedge, a moss giant's beard has a life of its own. The only known beard currently is Dave the Beard.
• As shown during the 2017 Easter event through Guthix's memories in the divine egg (ent), Moss Giants came from the same world as the Giant ent species.
