“To be mogu is to rule. It is why we were created. Our words are laced with power! Those who do not bend to our will must be broken by our strength. There is no strength without unity. There is no unity without obedience. To obey your Emperor and demand obedience of your subjects is the natural order. When you fight amongst yourselves you fight against your very nature. There is an order to this world, a strength that flows from your emperor down to the very stones of the earth. Do not forget this. Together our voices shall echo across the land like the clap of a thunder before a storm. You are that storm! Rise mogu! And reclaim your birthright as rightful rulers of this land!”

Lei Shen[3]

Themogu are powerful, magicaltitan-forged[4] who live inPandaria. Proud, hateful, and powerful both physically and magically, the mogu are the foremost enemies of thepandaren. They have fought over the future ofPandaria since time immemorial.

They were created by theKeepers during the ordering ofAzeroth to shape and protect the land. An extension ofKeeper Ra's will, they were agents of order, obedient and mighty.[5] They would later be afflicted by theCurse of Flesh becoming mortal, eventually losing their way and valuing power and control above all else. Under the reign ofLei Shen themogu empire was formed and came to dominate Pandaria. They used theEngine of Nalak'sha to form new creatures. They were even able to reverse the curse of flesh among themselves.[6] After thePandaren revolution and the downfall of the empire, the mogu clans scattered.

Following the arrival of theAlliance and theHorde, the mogu clans made various attacks to reclaim their former glory from the pandaren in the ensuing chaos.Shan Bu andZhao-Jin the Bloodletter in particular led their clans against the pandaren-controlledVale of Eternal Blossoms andTownlong Steppes. After the fall of the newly resurrected Thunder King, the mogu were again defeated.

History[]

Origin[]

The mogu are atitan-forged race manufactured by theForge of Wills during the ordering ofAzeroth. They were created to dig out the myriad waterways and rivers of the world.[4]Highkeeper Ra used the artifact known as [The Fist of Ra-den], which could channel the fury of storms, to bestow life upon the mogu.[7] Some say that the mogu race was created in the image ofNorushen.[8] They were once a legion of stone, heartless and obedient, and by their masters' command, the mogu fought the terribleservants of theOld Gods, shaped the mountains and carved the rivers of the land. The mogu created a magical cradle of life in a hidden valley now known as theVale of Eternal Blossoms.[9]

For many ages, the mogu guarded the work of the titans, fighting against themantid swarms. The mogu served the titanic watcherRa-den when the titans left Azeroth.[10] Those who answered directly to Ra were known as theRajani.[11] When theOld Gods used theCurse of Flesh on the mogu, they became terrified as their stone forms transformed them into mortal beings. They soon began to breathe, to bleed and to die. But with the flesh came the other curses of mortality: pride and greed, fear and anger. No longer united in purpose, the mogu fought amongst themselves. Powerful mogu warlords gathered up followers and made war on one another. Their battles scorched the land, terrifying the other mortal races.[10]

Though the curse made the mogu mortal, they later found a way to reverse the process.[12] Despite this, the vast majority of mogu, including Lei Shen, appeared to remain fleshy.

The Thunder King[]

Mogu vs mantid

During theAge of a Hundred Kings, the mogu foundnecromancy. Powerful mogu necro-lords ruled theirtribes from crypts dug deep beneath the surface.[13]

It was during this time thatLei Shen was born. Son of a warlord, when he came of age and commanded his own legions, he announced his intent to awaken the gods. Only his most loyal of followers accompanied him where no mogu had dared tread: into the very heart of theThundering Mountain, the sacred home of the one the mogu had called their master.[14] History does not record what Lei Shen found when he ascended the mountain and disappeared into its vaults. But when he returned, he wielded the power of a thousand storms and declared the mount to be his seat of power. Atop its summit he built a majestic and forbidden city.[15] Armed with the power of storms, Lei Shen, now known as the Thunder King, gathered together his followers and rose to power "the mogu way", eliminating his rivals one by one.[16] Many mogu saw in Lei Shen the unity of purpose that had been lacking in the generations since their masters had fallen silent. They flocked around the Thunder King's banner and eagerly did his bidding as he enslaved the other races, believing - as Lei Shen did - that the "lesser" races should serve the mogu, just as the mogu had once served their masters.[17]

Possessed of immense size and strength, the mogu built an empire based on might, in which the weak – other races – were subjugated, and the strong – always mogu – ascended to power. Imposing stone monuments and titanic siege engines displayed the power of the mogu to the rest of the land. They turned their strength on the lesser inhabitants of Pandaria, shaping flesh to their whims as they shaped rock. The greatSerpent's Spine wall, which separates theTownlong Steppes and theDread Wastes from the rest of Pandaria, was built by the mogu's slaves during the rule ofLei Shen.[18]

Pandaren revolution[]

12,000 years ago,[19] mogu emperors ruledPandaria, keeping the gentlepandaren as their slaves. The lucky ones clowned enough to entertain their mogu masters. Those pandaren lived in stone palaces, and their lives knew relative luxury. But that luxury ended when a joke offended and only the snapping of a spine or the popped removal of a head could inspire more mogu laughter.[20] Throughout many emperors' reigns, the pandaren may have attempted several failed uprisings. AlthoughEmperor Tsao reformed the slave laws, allowing the pandaren more freedom, his successor's actions led to the downfall of the mogu empire.Emperor Lao-Fe was brutal and had very severe and strict rules on slaves. He ruled with a no-weapon policy, but the pandaren, through tenacity, diplomacy, and a unique form of unarmed combat, staged a successful revolution that deposed the mogu and established anempire that would prosper for thousands of years.[21] One hundred years after the downfall of the mogu empire, theZandalari launched afull-scale invasion of Pandaria to destroy the Pandaren empire and restore the rule of the land to their mogu allies. The mogu clans, no longer led by a central ruler, began to break up and fall. However, the majority of mogu clans assisted the Zandalari in their invasion, launching raids of pandaren towns, villages, and farms. The Zandalari penetrated deep into Pandaria, and besiegedDawn's Blossom. Despite their attempts, the attacking forces eventually lost the battle, turning the tide of the war and causing a Zandalari retreat. After the war, the mogu clans scattered completely, and most of them were not seen again for centuries.[citation needed]  Warlords and emperors that were killed, were buried inTu Shen Burial Ground by pandaren.

Mists of Pandaria[]

Mists of PandariaThis section concerns content related toMists of Pandaria.
Lei Shen Full

Lei Shen the Thunder King and his mogu army.

After millennia of prosperous rule by the pandaren, mogu scouts returned to the land. However, it seems the mogu had something much grander planned than just scouting the world. A few mogu clans began attacking regions of Pandaria, gaining control of small towns and farmlands. A few clans had become united by a new king,Xin the Weaponmaster, whose lofty dreams of conquest threatened the region. However, despite his attempts, Xin was killed before any of his plans could come to fruition.[citation needed] 

The mogu later stepped up their attacks, launching full-scale assaults on theVale of Eternal Blossoms andTownlong Steppes, besieging Niuzao Temple. Every defeat they suffered seemed to strengthen them, as new waves of mogu began to appear, now reunited with the Zandalari, who had returned to Pandaria. Having rebuilt their former alliance, the Zandalari began to fulfill an ancient prophecy to resurrect theFirst Emperor. The mogu launched a full-scale assault in a last attempt to reconquer Pandaria.[citation needed] 

The mogu craved the domain they once held, and to regain it were willing to sweep usurpers and invaders alike into the dust. Awakened from his tomb by his oldZandalari allies,Lei Shen returned, promising to reclaim his ancient empire. The Thunder King reemerged on theThrone of Thunder that served as his seat of power, gathering armies from all over Pandaria to his island citadel.

Once more the heroes of theHorde andAlliance were called forth to take on this threat, doing so in the midst of their own dark and bloody war reignited by the decimation ofTheramore and the betrayal that split theKirin Tor. Waging war on two fronts isn’t easy and theShado-Pan had no interest in anything more than using the power of both factions to put down a more clear and present danger.[22]

Battle for Azeroth[]

Battle for AzerothThis section concerns content related toBattle for Azeroth.

Following Lei Shen's defeat at the Throne of Thunder, the mogu splintered and began warring for dominance. Many new clans arose from the ashes, including theBaruk,Dokani, andZan-Tien.[11]

Promised a new empire byZul, theKao-Tien mogu led byWarlord Kao andVilnak'dor, attacked the Zandalari atWarport Rastari inZuldazar. In truth, it was a distraction so that Zul could begin his coup againstRastakhan.[23] At theTemple of the Prophet and theTemple of Rezan, more mogu appeared to aid Zul after his rebellion became public. TheLei-zhi mogu aided some of Zul's followers in leading a mutiny aboard several ships at theIsle of Fangs andTusk Isle.

TheShado-Pan followed the mogu to Zandalar and spied on them at Warport Rastari.[24]

In addition to aiding Zul in his revolt, several mogu clans have sought the power of the [Azerite], claiming that, similar to thetol'vir andblack dragonflight, the power of the earth is theirs by right. The powerful mogunecromancers known as thenecrolords were disturbed from their rest recently bythe world's wound in unknown numbers.[13]

In the years following theSiege of Orgrimmar, the Vale of Eternal Blossoms was restored to its original state and theRajani clan loyal toHighkeeper Ra was restored.[11] However, withN'Zoth released from hisprison, the warring Baruk, Dokani, and Zan-Tien took advantage of the chaos and descended upon the Vale to claim it. In addition, the Zan-Tien sought to capture theEngine of Nalak'sha.[25] Together withadventurers, the Rajani,Shado-Pan, andGolden Lotus defended the vale.

Culture[]

TheMogu'shan Palace, located in theVale of Eternal Blossoms, contains some of the secrets of theirlost empire, including thetitan facilities and libraries. Mogu culture is very heavily influenced by their former masters. Over time, the mogu developed aspects of culture on their own, although main titan principles are still practiced by mogu to this day.[26]

Magic[]

Main article:Flesh-Shaping

Unlike "lesser races" that need schooling in the arts of magic, the ability was innate in the mogu. From what is known about mogu usage of magic, it is clear that their magic users did not fall into known categories, such asmage orwarlock. Special emphasis was placed onflesh-shaping or spirit-capture magic.[27] The mogu are flesh-shapers and can create other creatures. They are known to have created thesaurok‎ andgrummles.[28]

Death was not final for some mogu, instead being a mere stopover on the path to a new body.Spiritbinders used their foul magic to transfer these spirits from one shell to the next.[29]

Slavery[]

In many ways, the mogu are based on brutal strength and terrible cunning. Even with powerful magic at their disposal, the mogu often preferred to useslaves to build their massive monuments.[30] Enslaved humanoids were marked with branding irons.[31] Forged of iron and imbued with spells of subjugation and pain, manacles with inward-facing spikes were forced onto the slave races of the mogu.[32] The blood of many mogu slaves were shed with abone whip fashioned from the spine of some large and ancient creature.[33] Ananatomical dummy of a pandaren was used to document torture techniques.[34]

When the mogu had exhausted their options for enslaved mortal warriors, they turned their attention to creating armies of animated constructs to do their fighting for them. Theseterracotta warriors would sometimes sit dormant for centuries.[35]

In contrast to the unarmed combat and simple weapons of the first pandaren monks, the favored weapons of the mogu were based on fear rather than practicality. They were large, cumbersome, and difficult to wield.[36]

Companions[]

Favorite pets of the ancient mogu princes, the dog-likequilen make loyal and fearless companions and mounts.[37] Mogu sorcerers, keepers of the secret to bringing stone to life, preferstolid stone companions over more beastly familiars.[38]

Customs[]

Mogu crest

The racial crest of the mogu.

  • Mogu warriors often wore heavy "jewelry" such as the [Iron Amulet] as a demonstration of strength.[39]
  • The rituals for desecrating a fallen opponent are a well-established part of mogu culture.[40]
  • Mogumummify their dead.[41]
  • Across mogu art and literature, one legend is found, repeated and embellished again and again. It is the legend ofShadow, Storm, and Stone.[42]

Government[]

The mogu empire was a meritocracy as well as an absolute monarchy/dictatorship, where the previous regime and/or dynasty must be overpowered and executed.[43] As a part of mogu culture, when a clan's leader is killed, it is customary for rivals to immediately murder his family and thus exterminate the clan lineage forever.[44]

Valley of Emperors[]

The mogu view their dead as a collection of parts. Souls could be bound to stone for later use. Flesh and blood could be reforged to extend the lives of those loyal to the emperor. To be buried intact was a symbol of great power and respect. TheValley of Emperors serves as the resting grounds a hundred generations of warlords, kings and emperors who once ruled Pandaria.[45]

Relations with the Zandalari[]

When the mogu still ruled over Pandaria, they were allied with theZandalari. However, both the mogu and Zandalari held contempt for one another. The mutual contempt between the two would grow to polite indifference. They trusted the other not to attack because they were confident they would defeat the other. While Zandalari and mogu stood back to back, they did not watch the other and did not see the other falter.[46] The Zandalari assisted them against the embryonic Pandaren empire. Despite being defeated and pushed from the island now called Pandaria, the Zandalari, just like the mogu, remained in Pandaren lore, and slowly turned into Pandaren children's "bogeymen".[47]

With themists that once shrouded Pandaria now gone, the Zandalari, curious about Pandaria and their ancient mogu allies, have dispatched forces to Pandaria in an attempt to re-connect with the mogu. It seems they want to help them retake the land from the Pandaren and once again bring it under mogu rule. However, the Zandalari seem too desperate to acquire Pandaren territory and appear to have more motives than just helping out their ancient mogu allies.[48]

Appearance[]

Khal'ak once met a mogu, a head and a half taller than she, ebon skinned, strongly built. [He] possessed a leonine aspect that was uniquely suited to Pandaria. His brows, beard, and hair were as white as his flesh was black. When she'd first seen statuary depicting the mogu, she had thought it highly stylized. Meeting them in the flesh dispelled that notion, and seeing them in action suggested that any round softness of form hid only a sharpness of purpose and courage.[49]

Male mogu stand between a head to a head and a half taller thanZandalari women.[49] In rare cases, they can be taller than a male Zandalari.[20] Some mogu are only about a foot taller than ajungle troll.[50]

A mogu that is a foot taller than a jungle troll would be around 9'4" tall.

Mogu blood is black in color.[51]

Notes and trivia[]

Tormented Spirits

An undead mogu creature, previously referred to as "Jiang-shi".

  • TheTwin Consorts were rumored to be the only known female mogu in existence.[54] This was later proven wrong, as exampled byJa Sara and later still bySolux andGeneral Xing.
  • The description given of the mogu in theArchaeology interface states that they were originally a race of brutes granted enormous size, strength, and intelligence by "the life-giving waters of the valley" (referring to theVale of Eternal Blossoms).[55] This version of the mogu's origin story has not been referenced anywhere else and seems to conflict with the notion that the mogu were originallytitan-forged constructs. Their origins were kept ambiguous duringBlizzCon 2011, with multiple possibilities as to their relationship to the titans.
  •  [Stuffed Lushrooms] was once a favored dish of the ancient mogu, and has since become a staple inpandaren cuisine. [Mango Ice] is also thought to have been a favorite among the ancient mogu.[56]
  • Rastakhan did not think highly of the mogu, referring to them asZul's "pets."[57]
  • Mogu use the same model skeleton and animations as maleeredar/draenei.
  • According toGreg Street, the mogu were added "pretty late" inMists of Pandaria's development because the designers thought that Pandaria needed more enemy variety.[58]
  • During theBattle for Azeroth beta, the [Corrupted Jade Serpent] mount's description stated that the mogu used corruptedcloud serpents to travel toislands covered inAzerite.

Inspirations[]

  • Mogu are inspired by Chinese, Japanese, and Mongolian cultural elements.
    • Mogu (魔古,mógǔ) is Chinese for, roughly, "occult ancient" or "devil ancient," and Mogu'shan (魔古山,Mógǔshān) is Chinese for "Mogu Mountain". Although ChineseWorld of Warcraft uses "魔古" as the official translation,mogu can also mean "mushroom"(蘑菇,mógu)
    • The inspiration behind Mogu are likely a combination of ChineseMogwai/Mogui and JapaneseOni.
    • Lei Shen is likely derived ofLeishen.
    • The conquest by the Mogu in Pandaria resembles theMongol conquest of China.
    • The endless stone mogu army inMogu'shan Vaults is based on theTerracotta Army.
    • Jiang-shi, a special kind of undead mogu, was slated to appear in Pandaria.[59] However, any mention of it was removed and there has been no mention of the creature name in-game. The model has since then been used as spectral creatures for different creatures, even outsidePandaria.[60] Despite this, the jiang-shi have an entry in the bestiary ofMists of Pandaria Signature Series Guide alongside the otherMists of Pandaria races.
    • The name "jiang-shi" is a reference to thejiangshi (殭屍,jiāngshī), a nocturnal, vampire-like creature from Chinese folklore that is typically depicted as a reanimated corpse that moves by hopping and drains the life energy of living creatures.
    • The mogu, like theirquilen pets, bear a striking resemblance to theChinese guardian lions (also known asShishi lions or "Foo Dogs"). Indeed, early concept art for the race is labeled "Foo Dog Warrior."

Speculation[]

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials.It should not be taken as representing official lore.

Gender and reproduction[]

Mogu Cultist

A femaleMogu Cultist inHearthstone.

While initially created by the titans, sources such as theLei Shen lore object describe mogu as being 'born' to other mogu, and "The Lost Dynasty" andVol'jin: Shadows of the Horde say that mogu can have sons (though not how). This suggests at least some degree of reproduction by mogu themselves, following their being affected by theCurse of Flesh. However, all mogu known to currently exist are male.[54] Mogu females used to exist, with mothers and sisters being used in mogu insults,[61] a famous saga about Lei Shen and Sparkmancer Vu's feud over a woman,[62] andMonara being a slain queen (and the last queen) of the mogu.[63] This raises the issue of the current state of mogu reproduction.

Since mogu females have existed in the past, it can be surmised that they were created by the titans along with the males. Their apparent lack of presence raises a number of possibilities:

  • The females have mostly or entirely died out, perhaps due to a relative physical weakness in an extremely violent culture (although a race dependent on sexual reproduction would be expected to take great care, probably on an instinctive level, to ensure that this did not happen).
    • This is unlikely unless the females were systematically being killed by the males for some reason. It is also impossible to say how natural female mogu would compare to the males -- while human males tend to be the physically stronger of the two, the female is the strongest in some other species (such as hawks). But the disparity in strength alone would not seem to account for wiping out an entire half (presumably) of the population.
  • The females are (perhaps owing to their scarcity) being hidden, or protected far from where they may suffer harm (or where their children would be placed in danger)
    • This possibility is supported by what is known of mogu culture. In several real-life human cultures, especially those more reliant on older values, the women are essentially forced to stay at home, often with a heavy penalty for appearing in public (seepurdah for an example).
  • The females are elsewhere, or simply have not yet been discovered.

It should also be noted that no mogu children have been found to exist, although they are mentioned inSparkmancer Vu's epitaph. This may again suggest that both the females and children are being kept well out of harm's reach, or that neither are any longer to be found in Pandaria. While it seems natural to assume that mogu would reproduce through sexual means, the initial creation of mogu using titan technology should also be remembered, especially consideringLei Shen's possession of much of that technology. Such technology would likely be capable of producing fully-grown mogu.

It is possible that when mogu regained their stone bodies after Lei Shen's conquests, the females were reshaped into asexual male-looking bodies.

While it is possible, if the mogu rely on sexual reproduction to propagate their species, it seems unlikely that they would have allowed all of the females to die out. This suggests that females are likely still in existence, albeit evidently far from any non-mogu eyes. Indeed, if the 'rumors' about theTwin Consorts being the only known mogu females are founded in pandaren experience, this may suggest that no females have been witnessed by any non-mogu race in many hundreds or even thousands of years, if at all. While mogu relics (and the ghost ofMonara) prove that females have existed in the past, this serves to illustrate both the common lack of knowledge on the subject and the apparent scarcity of mogu females.

Lei Shen'sTwin Consorts are rumored to be the only known female mogu in existence[54]. However, these have been confirmed to have been specifically created by Lei Shen, and are "a direct reflection of his will rather than any broader sense of mogu culture as a whole."[54] This description in itself suggests some notable difference between the Consorts and their real-life counterparts unless it refers only to cultural differences, such as in the roles of men and women within mogu society. For speculation on the creation of the Consorts, seeTwin Consorts speculation.

Monara, known as the "last queen of the mogu" apparently represents the last ruling female in mogu society (at least at the level of monarch), slain shortly before the end of theAge of a Hundred Kings.

Around the time of N'Zoth's assault on Azeroth, several female mogu were seen to exist. One, General Xing, is of the Rajani faction, who have remained loyal to their origins as defenders of Azeroth, and thus is not likely to be the result of reshaping or a reflection of a tyrant's will. She resembles the Consorts, implying that they do indeed represent the female mogu form.

Body replacement

Mogu do have the ability to take the spirits from one body, or an already dead mogu, to a newly constructed body. It's possible that many of the mogu that have existed simply move on to a new body when their last one has failed. However, if this was the case many previous leaders would have come back and either retained their place in society or attempted to take it back.
