Descendents of neanderthals, they first appeared in the forests of Karelia about the same time as the elf. Ogres are ten feet tall and bear over 1500 pounds of weight on a hyper-robust frame. Hill giants throw boulders. Ogres throw hill giants.Of all the other races ogres get along best with gnomes. Largely because gnomes had the good sense to make friends with anybody who could offer them serious protection. (With the exception of kobolds, but gnomes do admit it wasn't a calculated decision in that case.)Ogres are surprisingly agile, can move very quietly, and all have perfect pitch. It is rare for an ogre to lose his temper, mostly because most people have the great good sense not to push them that far.Ogres are very popular in heavy industry and construction.Popular health books to the contrary ogres suffer from low cholesterol instead of high cholesterol. They need a high fat diet, otherwise they suffer from a condition akin to multiple sclerosis. Lack of fat also leads to low blood pressure and a condition known as "Ogre Anoxia" wherein an ogre's brain is deprived of blood and is damaged by the lack of oxygen.Ogres are prone to muscle calcification, and to a condition known as "Ogre Rage". A form of anxiety disorder marked by panic attacks most often expresed through violent assaults. The most effective medication for this condition is, of all things, caffeine. In high doses caffeine has been known to put ogres to sleep. In flu cases ogres are always hospitalized and placed on life support. People have been executed for deliberately exposing an ogre to influenza. Ogres always get priority for flu shots and flu charms and talismans.Ogres are big on meditation, self hypnosis, and tall tales. Ogres never work in the sex industry. Not that they won't have sex on film, more that they wil not appear in videos and movies where the purpose is to record people having sex. The sex had better be important to the story.Ogres were the first to adopt the domestic fox, and are responsible for saving the animal from extinction.And that's a brief look at my ogres. Adopt and adapt as you see fit.</blockquote>
