Half-Ogre | Tyrrapedia: Encyclopedia of Tyrra

Half-ogres are not human/ogre hybrids, but are rather a race that closely resembles ogres in coloration and behavior and were dubbed half-ogres by those that first encountered them. They have yellow skin and protruding lower fangs.

Half-ogres are tougher than average and are almost always fighters. They tend to be less intelligent and typically have difficulty in understanding complicated subjects. They also have a very short life expectancy compared to other races, and though this also means they mature faster.

Half-ogres are very tough fighters and they know it. It will be very rare when a half-ogre shows any fear. They are usually first to run into battle and will almost never run away, however, they have an innate fear of undead and will have to summon up a ton of courage to fight any zombie, skeleton or vampire that comes their way.

Half-ogres tend to see the world in simple ways. What good is writing if you can’t fight with it? They think most of the other races are spoiled and live too fancily. Half-ogres would rather spend their money on new weapons and armor than on fancy homes, fancy food, or fancy clothes.

Half ogres think that the concept of nobility is the most ridiculous idea "civilized" society has to offer. In the half-ogre tribes, the tribal leaders are the best fighters. In fact, half-ogres are constantly fighting among themselves for dominance. If a half-ogre sees another, it is likely that they will fight to establish who is dominant. The fight is never to the death but only until one of the half-ogres acknowledges the other’s superiority. There is never any cheating nor are there sneak attacks in this sort of battle; there is great honor at stake in the half-ogre community.
