Ogres
Large grey-skinned brutes about 1.5x the size of humans, physically powerful but unable to use any form of magic, and without any grasp of math or literacy. While they have a functioning animal cunning, they simply cannot grasp such complex concepts as mechanics or any form of science. They are loyal and tough, despite their limitations, and usually have an incredibly simple world view, however their nature has made most races regard them as inferior. Ancient Goats and Spellborn alike treat them like beasts of burden, paying them in food, using them both to smith and mine metals, or occasionally as prize warriors in arenas. A slave race, without even being aware of it, accepting their life in imprisonment without question.
Ogres are much like wolves, or dogs, in their social structure. They value strength and fitness above all, as well as the ability to lead. They are loyal to one another and the clan, seeing the survival of the clan as the greatest good. Ogres that die are eaten by others of the clan, their body and mind returning to the communal spirit of the tribe, sacrificing all to ensure the survival of others. Any Ogre will gladly die for the safety of the clan, and any who would turn against the clan are seen as outcasts, and either killed or banished, depending on the individual clan. Other beings are usually seen as superior, besides Goblins, who are believed to be distant cousins of the Ogres, and the Ogres regard them as annoying nuisances.

cons:
- Large size
- mentally impeded
