New monsters: Ogre

The big cousin of the Orc is the Ogre: they are different races indeed, but often Ogres can be found together with Orcs in their raiding activities. The Ogre is a sort of big-boss of an orc themed adventure, but it can be used as a specific and autonomous monster too of course. So here is the basic Ogre, with its brutal sex appeal.

Ogres are monstrous humanoid creatures, with large, powerful and corpulent bodies, and snarling, brutish and seemingly neck-less heads. An average adult male Ogre stands over ten feet tall, and is almost half as wide at the gut. Ogres are often bald as a boulder, although are rarely without facial hair, which are thought to be cultivated to capture morsels of food that escape the Ogre's mouth.

Ogres worship a god they call The Great Maw, a massive, seemingly bottomless pit of hunger in the world lined with rows of fangs. Ogres similarly are voracious creatures which are never sated. Driven by hunger, they will eat anything they get their hands on, including fellow Ogres. Cannibalism is a natural part of the harsh and uncompromising Ogre society, and only adds to the Ogres' terrifying reputation.
