The children of unions between ogres and humans, half ogres have the strong bony features and prominent upper teeth of true ogres within a slightly more delicate seeming body. Taller than their human parents, but with striking human eyes and a wide variety in hair and skin color, half ogres may appear paradoxical to people unfamiliar with their company. Confronted with others' confusion, half ogres frequently develop keen insights into life that can be surprising given folk's assumptions about their lacking wit and clumsy ways. Coupled with this special outlook, the great strength they inherit from their ogre half makes the average half ogre intimidating to say the least.
