Mogu

The Mogu are major antagonists (Along with the Sha) in the newest World of Warcraft Expansion, ''Mists of Pandaria. ''They were once wild brutes that fell into the magical waters of the Valeof Eternal Blossoms and become strong and intelligent.

The were the original rulers of Pandaria 12,000 years ago and kept the Pandarens as slaves and held a belief that the strongest should rule. They had a no-weapons policy, but the Pandaren mastered the monk class and overthrew the Mogu, and made the Pandaren Empire which would rule peacefully for thousands of years.

By the time of Mists of Pandaria, the Mogu finally return to try and recapture Pandaria. There are different clans of Mogu that are often at war with each other until Xin the Weaponmaster tries to unite them. The Mogu are experts in a magic known as flesh-shaping, enabling them to create new creatures. They also turn flesh into stone and could place souls into statues that were completely loyal to them.

The Mogu hold a meritocracy government, which means a ruler has to be defeated in order for a new ruler to ascend. The Mogu were also allied with the Zandalari which will soon have an impact in the War against the Zandalari which started with the Cataclysm expansion.

It is hinted they are related to the Titans.
