Gurg was the title given to the leader of a giant tribe.[1]
Description
The Gurg had command over the tribe and was served and brought food by other members of the tribe. The Gurg was usually identified by being the biggest, ugliest, and laziest giant sitting at the bottom of the mountain. In order to be safe in the giants' territory, one had to present a gift to the Gurg, as Rubeus Hagrid and Olympe Maxime did when they visited the giant colony, acting as envoys on behalf of Albus Dumbledore in 1996. However, this was not a completely safe method, as the Gurg Golgomath ordered his subordinates to attack Hagrid for even setting foot into his territory, despite the fact that Hagrid came bearing a gift for him. Even though the Gurgs were the leaders, they did not have complete control of their own tribes; other giants might murder them for their position.[1]
Known Gurgs
- Karkus: Karkus was the Gurg of the last remaining 80 giants on Earth. Karkus presided over the effective extinction of their species when his people began fighting and wiping each other out, and his people were forced to live (by wizards) in a dip beside a mountain lake between four extremely high mountains in Russia, leaving them no choice but to stick together for their own protection. He was killed and succeeded by Golgomath.[1]
- Golgomath: Golgomath was a Giant with the Giant colony in Northern Europe. He favoured the Death Eaters when they came to the colony to persuade the Giants to rejoin Lord Voldemort's forces.
