  • Laestrygonians are a race of large and wild humanoids that live in the and of Lortheron and several places in Maerylore. Known to be intelligent, they will join the Horde when they made friends with the Orcs that survived Draenor's destruction.
  • The Laestrygonians are a tribe of giant cannibals from ancient Greek mythology. Odysseus, the main character of Homer's Odyssey, visited them during his journey back home to Ithaca. The giants ate many of Odysseus' men and destroyed eleven of his twelve ships by launching rocks from high cliffs. Odysseus' ship was not destroyed as it was hidden in a cove near shore. Everyone on Odysseus' ship survived. The giants lived in Telepylus, the city of the Laestrygonians, located on island of Lamos. Odysseus made his escape with his single ship due to the fact that it was not trapped in the harbour; the rest of his company was lost. The surviving crew went next to Aiaia, the island of Circe.
