The '''Mountain Giant''' is one of the many varieties of [[Giant]] native to the various worlds of [[Dungeons & Dragons]].

	In [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]], Mountain Giants are characterized as being smaller than Hill Giants (14ft tall and 2,000 pounds to the hill giant's 16ft tall and 4,500 pounds), but notably smarter. They are ~~charactertized~~ as a quiet and reclusive race, slowly dwindling into non-existence because only 1 in four babies are female; this has led to the race practicing polyandry, but that can't stave off the slow decline in the population as fewer and fewer fertile females are born to replace the dead. Mountain giants are isolationists, who harbor no true malice towards other races and just want to be left alone, eking out a simple lifestyle of hunting and gathering.		In [[Mystara]], Mountain Giants are described as physically reminiscent of both [[Hill Giant]]s and [[Stone Giant]]s, and culturally are somewhere in between as well. Largely reclusive, they are not above hiring out as mercenaries for profit, and in fact often strike up symbiotic relationships with [[dwarf\|dwarves]]; the dwarves furnish them with arms and armor, and the mountain giants squish anybody who tries to kick the dwarves around.

They've also devolved to become more savage and vicious; like their hill giant cousins, these mountain giants are cruel, capricious brutes who delight in slaughtering anything smaller and weaker than themselves for fun. They are no longer presented as a dying race, either.

The '''Mountain Giant''' is one of the many varieties of [[Giant]] native to the various worlds of [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. A close relative of the more common [[Hill Giant]], Mountain Giants inhabit the taller peaks - information beyond that differs greatly depending on edition.
