Gronn

The Gronn are a race of colossal humanoids native to the World of Draenor. Gronn are descendants of the Earth Colossals, a race of Giants from Draenor's prehistory. Gronn are considered part of the Breakers, which are related species of stone that seek to reduce biological life on Drainer to near nothingness. An interesting feature about Gronn is their apparent composition, which appears to be a direct halfway point between Flesh and Stone, the Earth Colossals being their ancestors and the Ogres being their descendants. Gronn are enormous, fearsome, and powerful, they are not particularly known for their intelligence, but they do have a language of their own which might be shared with their related species. They are also known for a brutal sense of cunning, and should not be underestimated.

Biology
Grown are Humanoids, with a few small differences from others. Their legs are double jointed and their feet are flat and hoofed. Their size is enormous, and most will walk or stand at rest with a noticeable hunch. Gronn vary greatly in height, but often grow to be several stories tall. They have a very predominant cyclopean eye set in the middle of their heads, which often gives them the impression of a Cyclops. Most notable about the Gronn is the natural amount of flesh and stone that composes their bodies. A stony rock hide covers most of their back and arms like a miniature mountain range. Some Gronn can develop unusual features, such as horns, tusks, crystal hides or even steam vents emerging from their backs. Interestingly, the Gronn appear to be the first stage in Colossal evolutionary stages to develop genders, beginning a cycle of natural procreation, instead of the Earth from which their ancestors are born.

Origins
As descendants of the Giants of Draenor known as Colossals, the Gronn have existed in great numbers since Draenor's ancient times. Gronn, like their Ancestors, may have originated on a continent south of the primary landmass on Draenor, but in current days are native to the rocky badlands of Frostfire Ridge and Gorgrond, and later, the Blade's Edge mountains.

Culture
Unlike their descendants, Gronn do not appear to have any form of Society, other than a primitive one revolving around the largest Gronn or Magnaron asserting it's dominance over the lesser Gronn, becoming an 'Alpha' of sorts. Gronn life is based around the concept of destruction, using the Stones of the earth or their very bodies to destroy and reduce any standing structures or organic fertility to nothingness. Despite the brutality of their existence, Gronn seem to have an affinity for the Earth to which they are closely tied, and will often hollow out tremendous caves in which to make lairs and keep their spoils in, or even seek to create new mountains with brute strength alone or a mysterious, ancient runic magic inherited from their Colossal ancestors.
