Ogres
Amongst the hordes of the black bloods there is often found one or more large and lumbering brutes, called Ogres. Ogres are the largest of the black bloods and can be viewed as a mix of a very large orc and a giant. Ogres are renowned for their strength and it is a feared opponent, as they have been known to rip a human apart with only their hands. If Ogres are armed it is usually a small tree trunks they have found and wields as a club. There have been reports of Ogres using large 2 handed swords as well as axes taken from fallen foes, or granted as a gift from a orc chief.
Usually they are garbed in whatever they can find to keep the cold out. But if they are cooperating with a tribe, they might even wear armour.
