Ogres (feminine singular: ogress, plural: ogresses) are beings which are usually large, hideous, humanoid monsters and are most often described as feeding on human beings -adult-eaters or specifically child-eaters-. Ogres often have a large head, abundant hair and beard, a voracious appetite, and a strong body, but physical apparence may vary greatly, from very human looking to one more monster one.

In general, the ogre stereotype is of peoples with low inteligence, violent, vengenful, playful and strong, but susperticious and cowards. This of course is a stereotype, but is widely accepted and fit the description of many ogres. The ogresses fit in general the description as well, but they seem to be a bit more inteligent, less violent and less pernicious to other peoples.

For the Dark Legion of Demons, it wasn't easy for the demons to put the ogres in their service, as they lived dispersed and due their associal tendences. But in the end, either the demonic religion, promises of luxury and gains -and quotas of children and prisoners- drafted many ogres to serve the demon lords.

At least, until the demons raised and breeded their own ogres, ogres of war like the Hokke ogres.

The roles played of the ogres in the dark legion where often as blacksmiths, torturers, executioners, guards, cookers, siege engines operators, bouncers and thugs, being often added some ogres to orcs units to serve as shock infantry.

However, the ogres -at least until the demons created the Hokke, or War Ogres, the ogres didn't fullfilled very good this infantry role, as often they where less tenacious than the orc infantry they where supposed to support.

EDIT 23.03.2013 Coloured!

This was done for my serie of drawings of "The People of Aiers", of one of the Ogres.

There are many types of Ogres in my world of Aiers. Being a part of the Goblinoids, the Ogre family is divided in three main groups: ogres, trolls and cyclops. As well, there where some demonic creations, such as the "ettins" -two headed ogres- and other monsters.

Among the ogre-ogres, there are many types, some as the Oni, the Yeti, the Hokke, etc. In general, they have different skin colours, heigts and body types, being some of the ogres quite human-looking -sometimes due human ancestors among their ogre ones-

Most of the ogres are people-eaters.
