Ogre (5e Race)

Ogre

Physical Description

Large towering monsters, these creatures of raw strength have been known to come in colors of typically various different browns and dark greens. As ogres are not known to be hygienic, the teeth of these creatures are all jagged and/or crooked, they have also been seen to be able to chew through the toughest of animal hides. Along with their teeth, their skin is also known to be able to take slashes and stabs incredibly well.

History

Back near the beginning of time, the gods had grown bored of the regular creatures that the races had to fend off for survival. The gods decided that they wanted to give man another threat, a much more vicious and ferocious threat. Decades upon decades, man had struggled to fend off these new and terrifying beasts that had come from nowhere as far man had known. Many sages say that they had come from the orcs and the giants, but very few know their true origin. Many have called these beasts many different names, but they all have a common name for them, that name being Ogres.

Society

Ogres typically settle by themselves, but there had been very few cases of Ogres forming small camps as those few figured out their strength in numbers can be devastating. Ogre society have been seen in usually swamps, but there were some cases where they have been spotted near or even in the mountains.
