Moss giants are fairly large creatures that live in Gielinor. They are weak to Slash weapons. Moss giants are popular for training, especially on Free-to-play worlds. This is because they are one of the few creatures that drop Big bones, as well as being one of the few free-to-play monsters that are weak to slash attacks, enabling players to use slashing weapons such as the rune scimitar and the rune 2h sword to take full advantage of their weakness. Moss Giants use ranged projectiles and are aggressive.

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

LocationsEdit

(m) indicates members-only locations

Level 40Edit

• Pirates' Cove (m)
• Chaos Tunnels (m)

Level 74Edit

Free to PlayEdit

• Varrock Sewers
• Crandor Isle (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. Use of the rejuvenate ability can render food unnecessary.
• The 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.
• Varrock Sewers (4 moss giants) In free-to-play worlds, there are 2 spots (2 per spot). The spots can be crowded. There is a good safe spot behind the cauldron for magic/ranged users.

MembersEdit

• Brimhaven Dungeon (Requires a hatchet and either 875 coins or Karamja gloves 3)
• Chaos Tunnels (This area is incredibly dangerous for lower level players)
• 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 88Edit

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

TriviaEdit

• The examine, "Bigger than your average moss giant." is a play on Yogi the Bear's words, "Smarter than your average bear".
• A Moss giant bone, which differs from the usual big bones dropped by Moss giants, is a common drop after completion of the first part of the Rag and Bone Man quest. It is one of the items in the wish list for the second part of the quest. This bone cannot be buried.
• There are 2 Slice of cake spawns on the moss giant island near Brimhaven, and on uncrowded worlds, this can often make extra food unnecessary.
• There is a pipe that players can access at level 51 Agility right next to Vannaka for easy access to moss giants if they are given as a Slayer assignment. Though they give only 60 experience in this area, it is still a popular place for players to train the Slayer skill.
• As referred to Armies of Gielinor, Moss Giants are followers of Guthix.
