Ogres - General Information
Ogres are not the brightest of the bunch. They are simple beings who enjoy a good roasted humanoid and relaxing in their dens. With their simpleton demeanor, it is common for trolls to gain superiority over them and control them as minions.
It is easy to spot an ogre or its den when down wind from them as they have an extremely foul odor because of their extreme lack of bathing or self care.
They live in forests and make dens in random locations. An ogre den resembles a massive bird’s nest intertwined with bones from their hunts. Ogre dens have no specific requirements for where they are made. When an ogre likes an area, it will settle down and make a den out of their natural surroundings. The more they hunt, the larger the den becomes.
