Ogron

Ogrons stand 7’ tall. Towering masses of muscle, accompanied by green skin and bestial tusks, they are a species in the prime of their physical development. Typically vegetarian, their large tusks and large jaw muscles are designed for chewing extremely tough root vegetables.

Ogrons have an unfortunate reputation for stupidity. While it’s certainly true that most other Species outstrips the Ogron species in terms of intelligence and education, Ogrons are rarely as stupid as many expect.

Culture: Ogron consider the number 4 to be sacred.

Origin of species: as aligned with the trees of the lower jungles of Venus, it did not surprise scientists that Ogron physiology is deeply linked with the trees themselves. Their hardy cell structure is reminiscent of smooth bark, with similar vascular systems underneath.

Typical names: Lúrbag, Lugog, Gorrat, Ugbug, Bolglúk, Maudush, Radhur, Ugdush, Grishog.

Designs: Ogron gear is made from as much natural material as possible. As such, most of their technology uses natural plant material instead of metal, often crafted to resemble natural growth. The Tusk-breaker tree of Venus are stronger than steel, and commonly used in it's place.
