===Age of Myth=== [[File:Behemat teaser.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Note that the [[Stormcast Eternals|Stormcast]] are literally immortal, yet they're still scared shitless by this absolute unit. Then again, Warham’s giants tend to stuff smaller foes in their trousers, so it's understandable]] In the beginning, there was a titanic [[godbeast]] known as Ymnog, Grandfather of Gargants. According to the Gargant Matriarchs (no model exists cause not many want to see what saggy Gargant tits look like in plastic), Ymnog created the Mortal Realms when he threw a punch so hard that he shattered reality into earth, sea, and sky. After drinking and eating entire sections of the cosmos, Ymnog laid down to take a nap, where his drool would flow down into the Realms and become the first rivers. Inside his stomach was born Behemat, along with his two idiot brothers, named Gorg and Ama-Gorag. They brewed a lake of moonshine in their father's guts, causing him to retch them into his mouth, where Behemat then broke his father’s teeth to escape, the shards of his teeth supposedly becoming the first mountains. Behemat's brothers were stupid enough to fight over the moonshine they brought with them, and as such Ymnog gulped them back down again. Behemat landed in the Mortal Realms and became the progenitor of the Gargant race and personal right hand to the god of destruction [[Gorkamorka (Deity)|Gorkamorka]] (mostly because the Greenskin god was the only thing bigger than him), while Ymnog would end up being killed by [[Sigmar]] cuz he was a titanic monster and the Hammer god wasn’t gonna let him roam around his new home. It's unknown if Behemat's brothers are still alive in Ymnog's gut, but seeing as to how Ymnog is dead now, and the two of them haven't reappeared, they probably were digested. Trying to find a way into the Mortal Realms, [[Tzeentch]] whispered lies to Gorkamorka, making him envious of his champion, as Behemat enjoyed so much freedom under the green god’s rule, while Gorkamorka himself was stuck under Sigmar’s thumb. So Big G ordered Behemat to recreate some of the god of destruction’s greatest feats...and he did, though some were by accident. Then came the big one; Behemat had to recreate the duel between Sigmar and Gorkamorka. So after armoring himself with an entire mountain, Behemat bellowed a challenge to the Hammer God...and nothing happened. So he started stomping on the local sigmarites which caused the Lord of [[Azyr]] to come rocketing down from the heavens and knocked Behemat out cold, putting him in a millenia-long coma in the region known as the Harmonis Veldt in [[Ghyran]]. Alarielle, Goddess of Life, opted to forgive the Godbeast’s rampages and wove life magic around his sleeping form so that his body would become covered by the earth; his skull becoming the mountain of Tor Crania, his mouth becoming the Titansmawr (from which more gargants would occasionally crawl out), the Sweatswamp forming around the location of his left armpit, and so on. This pretty much makes him the [[Mythology#Norse_Mythology|Ymir]] of the Mortal Realms. For this act of clemency, many of the “traditional” Gargants revere [[Alarielle]] as the “Woman of the Woods” and make an attempt to avoid trampling through areas of her influence. It is said the gargants were created from Behemat's vomit after he went on a binge-eating spree that caused the extinction of several species of cattle, just before his centuries long nap. Among the early Gargants were the Sky Titans, intelligent craftsman and masters of black powder weaponry. They settled on Tor Crania, constructing many elaborate edifices and floating fortresses, which were promptly knocked down by a rampaging Gorkamorka and their brutish kin. Despite this, the Sky Titans would continue to thrive throughout the Age of Myth. Countless deeds are attributed to Behemat by his Sons, most of which double as their explanation for the different races (known collectively as “pipsqueaks”, “little men”, or any other short demeaning term), like the [[Idoneth Deepkin]] being an Aelven civilization that Behemat drowned after causing a massive flood, the [[Fyreslayers]] being born when the World Titan stomped out some volcanos and saw these angry short guys come out to yell at him, and the denizens of [[Shyish]] being mostly [[skeleton]]s because Behemat ate all the meat in the Realm of Death. Naturally this is all just mythical nonsense passed down by the Gargants, but they serve as a good example of how they view the world around them, a product of Behemat’s achievements. It wouldn't be implausible if the matriarchs know better, but no granny wouldn't tell some happy stories to grandson and granddaughter as they cheerfully play a game of kick the swordsman battalion.
