Ogre in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Ogre
Famously strong, infamously dim-witted, ogres are the most numerous and well-known of the jotunkynn. Born of an affair between Othea and the devourer Vaprak. Even among the Jotunkynn their existence is loathed, as it came to light that Vaprak was in fact Annam's son by an earlier relationship. This terrible discovery led to a blood curse put upon the entire race by a wrathful Annam.
Ogres are known to typically associate with goblinoids, orcs, and their fellow giant-kin trolls. In the social structure of the giants, the Ordning, ogres are considered the lowest-ranked of all giant-kin. Because of this, they are typically found to be willing servants of giants. The giant races they are most often seen working alongside are hill giants and verbeeg, the former of which they often trade with for trinkets or food.
Many ogres work as mercenaries, hoping for easy plunder, and in that line of work they are often seen alongside verbeeg. Lone hags, as well as covens, are known to employ ogres as guards, while others polymorph ogres and send them out to work as spies
