Homebrew Cyclops Species Details
The most common variety of giant is the ogre. They are much bigger than humans, though smaller than hill giants, frost giants, and other such true-kin. Ogres occupy a base rank, along with those such as ettins and trolls, and they generally regard the larger, higher-ranked giants with awe. Ogres tend to be strong and tough, though dimwitted and hot tempered. If not joined to a more sophisticated society, most ogres have only a primitive culture. Ogres that have oni blood are more cunning and possess innate magical abilities, along with traces of fiendish ancestry.
