Ogres

Return to Races
---

Ogres, also known as half-giants, are a curious race of peoples that sparsely populate the world. Ogres stand between 7 to 8 feet (2.1 – 2.4m) tall on average, have broad bodies, and usually weigh between 350 and 450 lbs (158 – 204 kg). Ogres are a seldom seen and often shunned folk who tend to keep to themselves out of necessity. Most people fear Ogres as man eating monsters, but few people openly treat them with hostility (usually because of said fear). The origin of Ogres are unknown, even lacking mention in most ancient myths, though modern legends say they are imperfect or cursed Giants. Some even go so far as to say they are the bastard children of Humans and Giants. Whatever the case, Ogres can live to see 1000 years if nothing kills them before then. Ogres generally have the same skin colours as humans, but may also be hues of Green. They can have hair, no hair, and/or tiny spikes/horns.
