Moss giants are large, humanoid creatures found in areas that are tied to nature.

Moss giants are very commonly trained on, since their Defence level is rather low in comparison to other monsters of the same combat level.

It can drop the mossy key, which is required to fight the moss giant boss Bryophyta.

If you are looking to farm mossy keys the best place will be Pirates' Cove as it's a multi-combat area which allows you to cannon them.
