Line 65:
* In ''[[Warhammer 40 K]]'', Ogryns are big, stupid mutant humans that live in stone-aged tribal societies. They look like ''Warhammer Fantasy'''s Ogres, but are [[Dumb Is Good|rather friendly by 40K standards]]: They're basically large, mischievous children who like clubbing things and having cleverer people tell them what to club. They are also ''capable'' of acting civilized (even if most don't).
** Specifically they become mostly capable of acting civilized after being upgraded to ''merely stupid'' with neural implants.
* Hungarian tabletop RPG/book series "World of Chaos" (like Tolkien except all the elves and dwarves are missing -imagine a [[Wo WWoW]] where the Horde has won - with the half-orc Skandar Graun acting as the main protagonist). Ogres are a major race and are given even more mutations (extra horns, heads, limbs etc.) to pick from.
* ''[[Rune Quest]]'' ogres look like attractive human beings, but have a genetic predisposition to anthropophagy. They deliberately spread disinformation to the effect that all ogres are hideously deformed and unsanitary.
* The Ogres of ''[[GURPS]]: Banestorm'' are among the Elder Folk of Yrth but by far the least advanced of everyone, even the orcs are cultured and intelligent compared to them. Their only saving grace is that they're stronger and tougher than every other species.
