Ogron

Ogrons are native of the swamps and plains of Caron, but they can befound throughout the Stornlands. Notoriously dull-witted, they are suitedto hard labour and can be formidable warriors in battle. They are oftenrecruited as mercenaries by the rulers of the Stornlands and used as shocktroops in the vanguard of battlefield attacks and sieges. They bear a strong hatred of Cener Druids, born out of centuries of cruel persecution at their hands.

Brutish, powerful, and unquestionably courageous in battle, Ogrons do not tend to run from a fight, even when faced by overwhelming odds.Before combat, they will hyperventilate to saturate their purple bloodwith oxygen. This raises their blood pressure and their pulse rate,sharpens their senses, and increases their stamina in readiness for thecoming fight.

The Ogron are ineligible for use as a player character race.
