Vaprak (pronounced: VÆP-ræk) the Destroyer was a demigod or lesser deity of greed, destruction, frenzy, and violence and the patron deity of
OGRES and
TROLLS. He was considered one of the interloper gods of
GIANTS.
OTHEA, mother of giants, had an affair with him, which led to the birth of the ogre race.
Description:
Vaprak's avatar was a hideous humanoid ogre in form, He had mottled greenish brown skin, with taloned claws.
Personality:
The Destroyer preferred to rip apart his enemies with his bare claws rather than use any weapons. He was always hungry. Vaprak had a reverent fear of the giant pantheon and was afraid of losing followers to them. Thus, he constantly urged his worshipers to frenzied aggression. He never made plans; he simply reacted in a destructive manner and relentless ferocity.
Following:
OGRES and
TROLLS worshiped Vaprak, as did a number of hill giants and even ettins (two headed giants). Some humans also worshipped Vaprak as part of their evil pantheon, having a temple for him. Occasionally, a frost giant would turn to the worship of Vaprak in exchange for physical prowess, in a ritual that involved devouring a willing troll sent by Vaprak. This process transformed the few who persevered into an everlasting one, gaining enhanced strength and regenerative qualities as a result, although they attempted to hide such oddities.
