World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade will include a whole new world and many new dungeons.  These unexplored lands of Azeroth are inhabited by numerous creatures, both strange and wondrous as well as horrifying. The Outland is home to everything from Thieves Arcane and "savage demigods" to nightmarish remnants of an ancient time, half-remembered, and beasts of great beauty and magnificence.

The very latest additions to the WoW Bestiary are the Fungal Giants and the Ogre Lords.

Fungal Giants are not mushrooms as you might expect, but like their mycological relatives, have been nurtured by the rich soil of Zangarmarsh. Despite their startling and terrifying appearance, these huge wetland beasts are  relatively non-aggressive. When threatened, however, they can be merciless killers. They feed on other native swamp creatures, as well as any Lost Ones who - through accident or design - trespass on their hideaways.

Ogres are thought to be descended from the overgrown, monocular abominations known as Gronn. If this is true, the Ogre Lords of Outland are the only creatures known to retain the physical traits of their gronn ancestors, such as the bony, calcified protrusions on their head and back - not to mention their physical stature and power. They are also highly intelligent and logical creatures, far more so than their ogre cousins. This is a combination worthy of both respect... and fear.
