Ogre

The ogre is a large, hulking humanoid. The are hunched over as if the huge mass of their slabs of muscle are dragging them down. Their huge bulk is matched by a ferosious appetite, prefering fresh meat but able to digest almost anything.
Their thick skulls unfortuneltly do not leave much room for brains, so they tend to approach problems with simple soloutions, if they can't eat it, they bash it with a large object until they can or its no longer a problem. Anything more complex than this will tend to cause them to lash out in anger,
There is some evidence that before the fall, the ogre's were members of the ancient continent spanning civilisation, where their particular talents were put to good use as labourers and soldiers.
