Ogres

Large / Humanoid / Biped

Description

Ogres are distantly related to giants and resemble a haphazard cross between giants and humans. They typically have heads, hands and feet that are oversized for their body, with overlong arms and overly short legs. Their skin colorations are often unusual for a humanoid, such as shades of bright green, orange or red. They often have an abundance of various colors of hair which can often be wiry and easily tangled. Some but not all ogres grow horn-like carotene growths on their heads, making them even more menacing.

Society

Ogres tend to be solitary and territorial creatures. They rarely socialize with other ogres, and even less so with other species. Even the kind and gentle ogres prefer to keep to themselves rather than go into town and be called a monster. While many fear them, some mercenary groups and militaries seek them out to hire them as security and brutes since their bodies are perfectly suited for such work.
