In the Maw

Nilganihmaht Control Ring teaches the Hand of Nilganihmaht, a crawling hand mount. This item is a quest reward from N [60] Gotta Hand It To Ya, which becomes available after returning five rings to the Hand of Nilganihmaht NPC in the Hollow of the Insolent[25.5, 36.8] inside the Rift in the Maw.

Rings

As a mount

Four of the rings (gold, runed, signet, and silver) can be acquired at any time. The runed band requires proper access to the Rift (via a  [Repaired Riftkey] or a  [Collapsing Riftstone]). The stone ring requires the N [60] Putting A Plan Together quest to be available as part of a Necrolord Assault.

Background

Nilganihmaht and his siblings—Bahmethra, Hrestimorak, Reshkigaal, and Salaranga—belonged to a race of giants on the planet Kerxan. Through guile and treachery, Nilganihmaht, Bahmethra, Hrestimorak, and Salaranga seized power and enacted a brutal thousand-year reign. Nilganimaht was the youngest sibling but also the most arrogant, and believed himself to be invincible. The siblings, who trusted no one but each other, murdered countless rivals during their reign but in the process weakened their own armies, leaving them too weak to defend the world when it was invaded by the Burning Legion. The giants were killed by the Legion and their souls were damned to the Maw.

The Jailer was pleased by the long list of crimes the siblings had committed, bound their souls in armor, and elevated them to become his chosen torturers. However, the giants secretly set out to usurp him by building an army of their own. The Eye of the Jailer discovered their plot, and when the giants attacked, the Jailer defeated them one by one. Instead of simply destroying their souls, he claimed a hand from each to serve him forever and act as tokens that would remind others not to defy him. He then condemned the giants' broken souls to Gorgoa and asked his chronicler Varithoman to make a record of the giants' fate. Nilganihmaht became known as "he of the many rings" for his particular punishment (see below).[1]

Mount Journal

Of all the giants who dared defy the Jailer, Nilganihmaht was the most arrogant. For this transgression, the giant's severed hand was hidden within a veil of torments, and the rings that could summon it back were scattered across the Maw.
