Ogres are a race which dwells upon Gielinor. They originated in Yu'biusk and Bandos had legions of ogres fighting in his armies to take control. Ogres appear as huge, giant-like humanoids weighing up to a ton in muscle and fat, they have white skin and "dark" brown rags for clothes. Ogres have poor technology and are a tribal race with constant wars and rivalries. Their main weapons are spears, clubs, maces, and bows, while others just use their bare hands.
Ogres can be as unintelligent as trolls, though they are more creative, with better rules and a more religious and cultural society.
During the wars, like many of Bandos' other followers, several subspecies of ogres were created in order to spread Bandos' influence, such as the mogres and jogres. Virtually nothing is known about them.
Types of Ogres
editCommon Ogres

The common ogres are the most well-known amongst Gielinor's inhabitants. They reside in Feldip Hills, in two cities; male ogres live in Gu'Tanoth, where they have enslaved the Skavid race as their servants. There are several smaller tribes scattered around the city, where they constantly feud over who is the strongest and are usually led by a chieftain. Female ogres live in Oo'glog, further south from Gu'Tanoth.
Unlike other races, the ogres of Feldip Hills live separately from each other; male ogres live in the city of Gu'Tanoth, while female ogres, known as ogresses, live in the city of Oo'glog. According to Chief Tess, inhabitants from the two cities visit each other "once every few seasons" and when they visit, they feast and share tales from their shamans. This is done on a whim and with no communication, as they occasionally forget, and at one time, both groups decided to visit each other, only to find the place empty. The idea of living together is foreign, as she laughs at the player when they suggest such an idea.
Scholars have tried to understand this separation, but the only reasonable assumption they come up with is that ogre women terrify the males so much that they have driven them north to Gu'Tanoth.
Ogresses are stronger than the males. They are considerably less aggressive towards other races, though their natural strength meant that many tended to avoid them out of fear. This was overcome in part due to the influence of Balnea, who wanted to turn the village into a spa resort after seeing the unique properties of its mud baths.
Ogre religion is headed by shamans who perform powerful magicks. They can summon a wide array of creatures, make themselves invincible, perform powerful attacks and even erase memories.
Ogre children, regardless of gender, are likely to be cared for by the ogresses. With the except of Bug and Fycie, Rantz's children (who live with their father, away from the other ogres), all known ogre children are found in Oo'glog.
The ogres used to bury their dead at the burial mound at Jiggig, although they were forced to find another location when the site was sabotaged by Sithik Ints, a H.A.M member. They have yet to find a suitable location.
Ogre delicacies include chompy and jubbly birds.
Mogres
editMogres are ogres that have adapted to underwater life. Unlike other ogres who prefer blunt-like objects, mogres often use tridents to fight. A group of mogres live in the Unquiet Ocean. This group of mogres protects several crabs from being caught by humans, as they consider their giant claws a delicacy.
Jogres
editJogres primarily live in Karamja. Virtually nothing is known about their society, but several jogres participated in the God Wars during the Third Age.
