The Rock Ogre is a native to the twisted and sharp lava rock caves of the Valley of Fire. Not to be confused with the Forest Ogre, which is much bigger but has lighter and more sensitive skin. (Some Forest Ogres are even known to sunburn). The Forest Ogre lives beyond the hills bordering the Kingdom of Mar in Greatwood Forest. See “Forest Ogre.”
Rock Ogres are known for their massive teeth and their voracious appetite, but not for their intelligence or stealth. Their teeth grow throughout their lives, requiring them to gnaw on rocks or bones to keep them from growing too long. (You can often tell how old a Rock Ogre is by how long his teeth are, although, such examination is rarely possible.)
Rock Ogres, often referred to simply as “ogres” by those from the Kingdom of Mar, do not speak Lingua Comma as you and I do, but instead communicate by a crude system of grunts and pointing. One notable exception to this generality was a circus performing ogre by the name of “Ozblat the Terrible.” He was taught to say “Dana Dizzywittle didn’t do diddly during daytime darts.” This level of speech was so astonishing people regularly paid to hear Ozblat’s performance.
