Would it make sense for an Ogre to be adopted by a human? I want

>>50579584

You can justify anything mate. Just think of what the problems are and then come up with solutions

>ogres too damn big

well then he got adopted by a rich guy with a big house.

>>50579584
>>50579612
Or the Ogre helps his foster parents build a bigger house. That big and he would be able to lift logs like nothing.

>>50579584
Adopted?
Not likely.
Taken in as a future servant?
Much more reasonable.

>>50579584
The ogre is runt, that's why it was abandoned by it's parents and eventually taken in by humans. Though by human standards he's quite large compared to other ogres he's an ogerlet.

>>50581545
i can see this as something plausible, although your Ogre would take it as an insult when he's told he's small, like a certain blonde alchemist from that anime

If they take in an infant ogre they could have enough room for it. And then by he time it's too big, they're already attached to it and just find a way to make do. Building a barn for it or whatever

>>50579584
So basically the Premise of "Elf" minus the Christmas part. Size difference and clumsiness included.

>>50579584
Sure, why not. A childless farmer couple finds an abandoned ogre kid in the woods or something. They're kind but also a thick, so they keep the little monster.

>>50579584
think about how ridiculous of a premise hellboy is, and then re ask yourself this question
of course it can make sense
you can literally write whatever you want. maybe the adopted dad and ogre pops are best friends, maybe they're old war buddies, maybe the ogre pops killed the humans son and then got killed, but they took in his kid.

>>50580666
No it's not much more reasonable at all.

>>50579584
>Ctrl+f depends on the setting
Depends on the setting.

>>50581639
They name him Clark.
Little does the rest of the adventuring party know that their mild mannered barbarian is secretly an ogre.

>>50579584
This is the second ogre thread I've seen.

Have ogres finally become cool /tg/? Like, can Ogres be as popular as Kobolds and Gnolls for PC?

>>50583844
What the fuck are gnolls and kobolds lmao


Ogres are cool since the first fairy tales involving them.

>>50583844

Ogres are clearly superior, and anyone who disagrees has shit tastes.

>>50583844
Ogres are like orcs but even more buff. They are great low level bosses. They're cool already.

>>50579584
Ogres only eat people because they aren't smart enough to cultivate large enough livestock in a sustainable way.

>>50579584

It makes a ton of sense for a family of farmers to adopt an Ogre infant. Just imagine how much hard farm labour a determined Ogre could do in only one day.

>>50585446
Source: your ass.

>>50585607
Cow trapped in the river? Fuck ropes and horses, get Son Ogre to lift it.
Building a barn? Fuck the entire village lifting one of the walls into place like an Amish, get Son Ogre.
Brigands stealing your livestock? Son Ogre.

>>50585741

They're basically the perfect grunt laborers, they can do the work of 20 men in half the time, and only eat as much as 10 men. Ogres would be the perfect slave race for an evil empire, now that I think of it.

>>50585741
>Village all are afraid of child ogre
>Make fun of him and hate him when he's young because they think he'll grow up and rampage through the town
>Reaches teenager levels and is suddenly huge
>People don't really make fun of him but still avoid him
>Suddenly one really harsh winter where everyone is behind
>Son ogre is there to help and they can't really refuse
>Entire town amazed when he can carry half a forest worth of trees in one trip
>Doesnt even need horses to plow the fields, just does it himself
>They're all pleased and reward him with meat pies
>They all put their differences aside and he gets to carve the roast beast during the harvest festival

I like it

>>50586269
Isn't this just the plot of Shrek?

I know of one story but its 40k though if you guys count Ogryns as Orges its quite a nice story.

>>50586176
Or a respected laborer.

Feed them and pay them reasonably, and it would still be cheaper than hiring the human numerical equivalents.

>>50579584
>too big
Barn. Done.

>>50586388
Nah Shrek is about an Ogre taking class levels and then beating the entire campaign his DM planned out by just running away from the dragon.

>>50581578

Wouldn't an Ogre who's grown up while being too big to fit in take being called small as a compliment?
I mean if he's been too big all his life then being called small must feel like a dream come true.

Is it Nork Dedogg and Colonel Gresis?

>>50586176
It's surprising they are always portrayed as barbarians and never builders.

>>50586579
Not smart or motivated enough in the wild, that's why they always end up as henchmen for BBEG's, since they won't leverage their strength usefully without someone telling them what to do, but humans are too scared to do so. An ogre raised from birth in a human village would basically be Hodor but slightly less retarded.

This is brilliant I'm putting freelance Ogre laborers in my campaign setting now. Trolls will fill the niche they usually do.

>>50585741
>>50586269

There is a really good InuYasha episode like this, the old lady has this 10 foot demon she adopted (maybe it is her real son, I don't remember) but it's pretty near.

>>50585714
Best source EU, anon.

>>50583844
I've decided that my orcs are evil elves and Ogres fill the spot of bara noble savages, an inbetween of warcraft orcs and dnd goliath.

More systems need ogres as playable races.

>>50580666

IT'S ALL OGRE NOW

I'm surprised nobody's posted any Shrek memes yet.

>>50586579
In the Witcher, trolls are basically alcoholic day laborers

Warcraft portrayed ogres as once having an empire equal to that of humanity at their peak, which they lost in their hubris much like Rome. That modern ogres are so stupid and brutish is from a literal lack of education because the orcs burned down their schools and drafted them into fighting.

>>50589583
>WoD ogres

Even worse retcon than BC Draenei at the time. I will never accept ogres as anything else than animals that got uplifted through warlock shenanigans during the second war.

>>50591177
It was only the 2-headed ogres that were created by Gul'dan. Even in Warcraft 1, they were dim but useful enforcers for the Horde.
Even having 2 heads wasn't much of an upgrade, lorewise, since the heads tended to bicker and argue with eachother.

Ogre is best buff race

>>50594191

Agreed, Orcs are no stronger than anorexic senior citizens in comparision.

>>50594018

Aren't two-headed Ogres called Ettins?

>>50595580

Yes, but the term also applies to two-headed giants.

Absolutely.

See pic related.

>>50595580
Not in Warcraft. The Ettins are two-headed giants descended from the Titan-forged Giants of Azeroth. The Ogres are specifically from Draenor.
