Knuckledraggers are just as lazy as any other ogre but are dumber and stronger. A knuckledragger is born with abnormal muscle mass proportionately to their cousins and much larger hands that drag along the ground, for which they are named. This, however, comes at the cost of what little intelligence they have. Knuckledraggers tend to lack the cognitive ability of speech and appear to be more primal than their brothers. They only follow those who assert themselves with physical strength and aggression, making them largely the infantry charges of more organized tribes and orc warbands. |
