Description


It is hard for most to figure out how Ogres came to be known as one of the 'established' races in the world. The perception of them is: big, dumb, and ugly. For several years they were deemed merely beasts and monsters to be taken down like animals whenever possible. An ogre is hard to take down though, with skin thick and difficult to pierce, and bulk that lets them sling a man onto a mountain if they wished it. Though they do not have the capacity to become very intelligent, they make up for that by having sharp instinct for danger and survival. Not all are monstrous either, but since they don't adhere to humanoid style customs, they'll never be able to be fully accepted.
