'''Glod''' is a huge, muscular giant who can be found on the cloud at the top of the magic beanstalk in the [[Grim Tales]] quest. He has a [[Combat level]] of 138. Glod has the ability to bellow threats at players to either make them run in fear of the huge giant or charge at him in anger. He can also heal himself similar to the gorillas on Ape Atoll, making him a bit harder to kill. When Glod is killed he drops the golden goblin which is a quest item needed for the [[Grim Tales]] quest.

Glod is immune to poison-based attacks. He attacks with melee by attempting to stomp on the player. This attack is very accurate and will hit very often if you don't pray Protect/Deflect Melee. In addition, he also has the ability to disable any active [[Prayer]]s on the player, also lowering their prayer points by a noticeable amount. However, this does not work like a [[dragon scimitar]]'s special attack, which prevents players from using protection prayers for five seconds. If you stand at least 3 steps away from him, he will not be able to use his melee attacks.

A good method of fighting Glod is with magic, standing at the edge of the arena as to render his bellow that makes players run away useless. Players will then only have to worry about the bellow that makes them charge forward.

Alternatively, if using melee, set Protect from Melee/Deflect Melee as a quick prayer and when Glod knocks out your prayer, double click the quick prayers icon to quickly restore the prayer.

==Trivia==
*Glod can be fought an infinite amount of times. This is done by defeating him, not picking up the [[Golden Goblin]], climbing back down and then back up. He will reappear and must be killed again in order to receive the goblin. This also make multiple gem drops possible, at the cost of prayer/food/runes/arrows.
*Glod is an alternate name for Fornjót, an ancient giant in Norse mythology.
*While fighting, Glod may shout "Glod smash!" This is a reference to the Marvel Comics hero, the Incredible Hulk, who says "Hulk smash!"
*Glod's appearance is really similar to that of the Incredible Hulk. It might be possible that Glod's design was based on the Incredible Hulk.
*Glod is also the name of a recurring character in [[wikipedia:Terry Pratchet|Terry Pratchet's]] [[wikipedia:Discworld|Discworld]] books. Appearing initially as a bad tempered dwarf. Owing to the popularity of the Discworld books in the United Kingdom where [[Jagex]] is based, it's not unreasonable to speculate that the Glod in RuneScape may be inspired at least in part by his literary cousin.
*Glod was featured as the first question in the RuneScape quiz 14. This quiz was released 29 June 2010, the question being "Where can Glod be found?" The answer was "At the top of a beanstalk like all good giants!"
*Glod is currently the largest giant in the game.
*The golden goblin is a reference to the golden hen and the golden harp from the fairy tale: "Jack and the Beanstalk." The giant being found at the top of a beanstalk (and someone murdering the giant and stealing his possessions) is also a reference to Jack and the Beanstalk.
