'''Moss giants''' are fairly large creatures that live in [[Gielinor]]. They are weak to [[Fire spells]]. Moss giants are popular for training, especially on [[Free-to-play]] worlds. This is because they are one of the best training monsters and one of the few creatures that drop [[Big bones]]. They also have a fairly high amount of lifepoints (providing 240 experience for an attack style that focuses on one skill and 79 Constitution experience for the level 42 Moss Giants).

They are sometimes given out by [[Vannaka]] as Slayer assignments. Food is highly recommended for lower levelled players.
==Locations==
[[File:Moss Giants.png|thumb|A small group of Moss Giants found west of the fishing guild.]]Level 42 Moss giants may be found in the following locations:

*[[Brimhaven Dungeon]] '''(Members only)''' (Requires a hatchet and either 875 coins or [[Karamja gloves 3]]). Players should be careful for Wild dogs that may interrupt fighting.
*[[Chaos Tunnels]] '''(Members only). This area is incredibly dangerous for low levels if traveling to their area.'''
*[[Crandor|Crandor Isle]] (3 moss giants)
*West of [[Fishing Guild]] (4 moss giants) '''(Members only)'''
*[[Moss Giant Island]], west of [[Brimhaven]], 10 [[Agility]] required (Safe spots to Range/Mage/Melee(Halberd) all five.) '''(Members only) ''' (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 five moss giants here also there are two respawns of [[Slice of cake|Slice of Cake]].)
*[[Wilderness|The Wilderness]], north of the pond above the Wilderness Volcano, in the green 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 worlds, the two spots (two giants each) can be crowded. There is a good safe spot behind the cauldron for magic or ranged users.
*[[Varrock Sewers resource dungeon]], 65 [[Dungeoneering]] required (8 moss giants) ('''Members only''') Also contains 6 [[Magic trees]]. This is an ideal spot to fight moss giants, although it can be very time-consuming to reach 65 Dungeoneering.

Level 48 Moss giants may be found in the following locations:
*[[Pirates' Cove]] '''(Members only)'''
*[[Chaos Tunnels]] '''(Members only)'''

Level 84 Moss giants may be found in the following location:
*[[Glarial's Tomb]]''' '''and may only be fought unarmed. [[Prayer]] is also forbidden in the tomb. They play a role in the [[Waterfall Quest|Waterfall]] and [[Roving Elves]] quests.''' (Members only)'''

==Trivia==
*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]].
