Ogrillon

The ogrillon is a species of half-ogre, being the fruit of an (unnatural) union between ogres and orcs. The ogrillon displays the general tendencies of its larger cousin with some exceptions. It is

even more brutish and violent, and it normally learns to speak only ogrish and a handful of words of common.

The ogrillon is about the size of an orc and closely resembles one. One in ten is born with features and coloration very similar to those of ogres: purple eyes with white pupils, black teeth, yellowish skin with dull, dark green hair. The skin of an ogrillon of either type is covered with small horn plates, giving it a superior armor class and enabling it to fight without weapons. An ogrillon disdains armor and most other material items, retaining only a handful of gold pieces kept as treasured belongings. It is uncertain why they would keep gold, except perhaps for luck. Perhaps we’ll never know.
