For those who don't know, my favorite two enemies are moss giants and steel dragons, I fight both all the time. So my question is does anyone know the origin of moss giants? Is it explained in game? I doubt it is, but we can speculate.

There is no lore for moss, fire, or ice giants. Only hill giants thus far.

 

But there is a fun tidbit that the spinach roll is a body part of moss giants.. though I think that was removed a long long time ago. For a very long time, the only way to obtain a spinach roll was either through random events, or directly from the source.

The origin of moss giants isn't explicitly explained in the game. I have 2 hypotheses

One speculation could be that moss giants are creatures that evolved or mutated in environments rich in moss and vegetation, hence their name and appearance. They might have adapted to thrive in these environments, becoming formidable adversaries to players who venture into their territory.

Another possibility is that moss giants have a magical or mystical origin, perhaps created by ancient wizards or beings as guardians or protectors of certain areas. This could tie into the broader lore of Gielinor, the world of RuneScape, where various magical creatures and entities exist.

Moss giants are such nostalgia, spent a lot of my childhood there in the varrock sewers.
