The Mok’Nathal (“The Sons of Nath”) are a clan of half-ogres, originally from the planet Draenor. They are a dying race, and apparently Rexxar is one of the only remaining left on Azeroth. They have a last remaining spot in Outland – in Mok’Nathal Village in eastern Blade’s Edge Mountains. Chen Stormstout joined the Mok’Nathal after Rexxar helped him in Durotar.

It had been thought that Mok’nathal had been extinct on Azeroth, but after Rexxar’s exploits on Azeroth, Mok’Nathal are showing up again. There is only a hundred or two that exist in the world.

Other named half-ogres who may or may not be Mok’Nathal include Mag Bearmaul, Tagar Bearclaw, Gorsh Talonfang, Maxx Rocmane, Gaz Boartusk, Mok Rocksnout, and Gish Eagle Eye. They are Beastmasters that can be hired from Mercenary camps in The Frozen Throne. Since Rexxar’s model was identical to that of the other beastmasters, it’s assumed that they are also half-ogres or Mok’Nathal.

How the Mok’Nathal came to Azeroth at all is unknown. It isn’t likely that they were brought by Gul’dan. Some might have been in the ranks of the Old Horde but were not in large numbers so went unnoticed.

The novel Cycle of Hatred refers to the Mok’Nathal as a clan and states during a description of Rexxar “Born of orc and ogre blood both, as most of his now-defunct clan…”. This implies that while Rexxar may be the last of the Mok’Nathal clan, he may not be the last half-ogre. The Burning Crusade seems to support this as well, see Mok’Nathal Clan Ring.

The Horde Player’s Guide implies that “mok’nathal”(lower-case) is the Orcish term and honorific for “half-ogre”, while half-ogre is the Common name for the race.

Physically, Mok’Nathal more closely resemble small ogres, and more rarely, massive orcs
