:This page is about the monster. For the character, "Ogre", see Ogre (character).
Ogres, also known as eiger, are humanoid creatures of the Giant type found throughout the Flanaess.
Ecology[edit | edit source]
Environment[edit | edit source]
Ogres usually make their homes in temperate hills, though it is not uncommon to encounter them in mountain ranges. Ogres are known to dwell in the Abbor-Alz, Cairn Hills, Crystalmists, Drachensgrabs, Glorioles, Hellfurnaces, and Jotens, among other places.
Typical physical characteristics[edit | edit source]
Adult ogres are 9 to 10 feet in height, and weigh anywhere from 600 to 650 pounds. Ogre skin color ranges from a dull brown to a dull yellow. Ogres usually clad themselves in poorly-cured animal furs and hides, which make their natural odor even more repugnant.
Alignment[edit | edit source]
Ogres are usually chaotic evil.
Society[edit | edit source]
Ogres typically dwell in groups of three to eight individuals, though solitary ogres and pairs are also common.
Religion[edit | edit source]
Ogres typically worship Vaprak the Destroyer, though some pay homage to other powers, such as Baphomet, the Earth Dragon, Erythnul, Grolantor, or Kostchtchie.
Language[edit | edit source]
Ogres speak Giant, though more intelligent individuals also speak Common.
Variants[edit | edit source]
Known ogre subraces include the merrow, and the ogre mage. Sometimes ogres breed with humans and orcs, producing half-ogres, orogs, or ogrillions.
Merrow[edit | edit source]
These aquatic ogres are green and scaled with webbed hands and feet. They are faster and fiercer than their land-based kin, but are otherwise similar to normal ogres.
Ogre Mage[edit | edit source]
These blue-skinned ogres are more intelligent than their mundane kin, and possess some innate magical abilities, such as invisibility and shapeshifting. They are a little taller than standard ogres, averaging ten feet.
Ogre crossbreeds[edit | edit source]
- Half-ogre: This ogre-human crossbreeds are smarter but weaker than ogres. They can sometimes pass as unusually large, albeit ugly, humans.
- Ogrillions: These creatures are the brutish, armor-skinned offspring of a female orc and a male ogre.
- Orogs: An orog is the offspring of a male orc and a female ogre. Orogs usually live among orcs; they are stronger, more intelligent, and more disciplined than typical orcs.
