What is the tallest Creature on Azeroth?

[Mister_Haudrauf]

As you can guess from the title i want to know what the tallest creature on Azeroth is? Who deserves the title of a true Behemoth?

Not Dreanor. So no Grond. (He is a Behemoth in Size so he deserves the title)

Also a link to this thing would be good. And another Question: Do you think this Creature could defeat an Old God?

maybe Ragnaros? but he is underground

Ragnaros is not from Azeroth, he's from the Firelands
There's Kologarn, in Ulduar, who is one hell of a huge fella. I have no knowledge of the lore about him though, so I don't know if he originates from Azeroth.
Dragon Aspects are pretty gigantic too, like Alexstrasza or Deathwing.

As for the battle vs an Old God, no idea. There's not much material to speculate about this, the only way to find out would be to put them to a fight in an giant arena

Azeroth, being a video game world, has no consistent unit of distance and hence it is not possible to determine what the tallest creature is. Equally well size does not matter because a tiny monster that is level 90 is considerably more powerful than a room sized monster that is level 10.

From a gameplay point of view, yes. C'thun, as a level 60 boss, would be crushed by a bunch of non elite level 100 murlocs.
But from a "realistic" point of view (say, if this world were real), what would it be like? Deathwing or C'thun? Ragnaros or Yogg Saron? Others? In WoW, you can't test it out, mostly because of the issue you mentioned, and also because theses bosses require a well-executed strategy to defeat them (which is why they are so tough for players). That rule wouldn't apply for a boss vs boss fight. How would Deathwing deal with C'thun tactics?

All of them would die because they cannot exist in the real world. And even if they did they would all lose out to guns and modern weapons. Do not try bringing reality into a fantasy RPG.

I said "if this world was real", not "if this was all happening in our world".
In other words, I was considering the world of Warcraft without gameplay mechanics, I was not thinking of our world. Just the fantasy world of Warcraft, with its own rules and lore. In that world, who knows which boss would overcome the others? As I was saying, it's hard to tell, there's nothing we can rely on to conclude anything. Sorry, I'm struggling to explain my thoughts in English

WoW is a fantasy world, bringing our world's logic into Warcraft fantasy would be pointless. In this case a level 100 Murloc is more powerful than C'Thun just because it is so in WoW. WoW's logic is different from our perception of bigger = stronger. There is also no consistency in WoW; Footman in War 3 is weaker than those found in WoW ect..

I never said I was bringing our logic to WoW. I said I was thinking in terms of Warcraft logic and lore, but without considering gameplay mechanics. Like you would do for a film or a book.

Well then, you have an answer. The turtle (pandaria island) is the tallest creature native to Azeroth.

I wasn't the one asking. I suggest you read this thread again, because I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say

Oh sorry, I thought you were asking the question.

Well.. that creature is dead and extinct, whoever that was. It looks like a dragon, hence why the area was named Dragonblight.

Well, he's the largest, not the tallest, i think that the Sword of Sargeras is by now the tallest thing in Azeroth, and i'm not sure if there is a living being that can surpass that size.
