Bahgtru

Bahgtru was a rather stupid god of pure physical strength who scorned both weapons and magic alike. He was the son of Gruumsh.

Description
Bahgtru appeared as a gigantic, tall, incredibly muscular orc with dirty tan skin. His eyes were dull green and his tusks, that protruded from both sides of his mouth, glistened white due to his gnawing on bones.

Personality
Bahgtru was notorious for being staggeringly, legendarily stupid, infamously dumber than any god had the right to be. He was an unreasonably destructive deity said to be easily outfoxed by most beings, and had a lack of self-determination to go with his idiocy, not being smart enough to send an avatar without being instructed to.

Despite having a complete lack of wisdom and being as dumb as a rock, the Leg-Breaker could understand the concepts of insults; if he discovered he had been deceived, he would crush the perpetrator into less than a pulp, and was known to "accidentally" injure those he was working with when not given proper respect. Bahgtru cared only for sheer physical might and scorned weakness, opposing acts of deceit and craftiness.

Powers
Though moronic, Bahgtru was undeniably, incredibly mighty, even by the standards of gods. His strength always exceeded the expectations of others, and in the throes of combat he was known to suddenly surge with newfound vigor. His skin was so thick that blunt weapons were practically useless against him, merely bouncing off of his tough hide. No effect (such as ray of enfeeblement) could drain his strength, nor could any magic reduce the harm he caused or protect one from his blows (like stoneskin).

The massive Bahgtru was known as the "Fist of Gruumsh" for his bare-knuckle fighting style; in battle, he normally ran towards the nearest enemy and bashed them with a hammer fist before bowling the dazed victim into other foes with the back of his hand. He was smart enough to keep as many stunned enemies nearby as possible, particularly ranged attackers, making it difficult for anyone to escape his reach. Afterwards, Bahgtru simply descended into a series of different moves, hurling, slamming, pummeling, and crushing his opponents with his bare hands.

Possessions
Ever since a battle with a legendary beast, Bahgtru had never been known to use any kind of conventional weapons or armor, shunning both them and magic for the most part. At times he was known to wear heavily studded leather, and beat his victims flat with a pair of cesti, or gauntlets, studded with steel rivets.

Activities
Left to his own devices, Bahgtru reeked havoc in whatever area he happened to be in, such as the battlefields of the war between orcs and goblins, challenging all manner of archetypal monsters to battle as he tore the land he traveled asunder. He had little in the way of plans, or even goals, although those who would manipulate this behavior did so at their own peril. The Fist of Gruumsh fought at his father's behest, alongside him or otherwise, and often took orders from the One-Eyed God's other servants.

Realm
The orc pantheon was known to move between the planes in their war against the goblin pantheon. At one point they went from the Nine Hells to Acheron, with Bahgtru inhabiting a smaller block orbiting the cube of Nishrek. Eventually he ruled two clans, each with their own fortress town on one of Nishrek's faces, the clans of the Iron Fist and Broken Skull. He was often content to marshal orc forces against the goblin legions of Clangor.

In the World Tree and World Axis cosmologies, where Nishrek was its own realm (a twisted natural landscape marred by carnage and warped to fit orc ideals), Bahgtru dwelt within Gruumsh's Iron Fortress.

Relationships
Bahgtru served Gruumsh loyally, and was feared by the other orc gods for his strength. He opposed the goblinoid deities, the Seldarine, and sylvan deities. He respected the Dwarven gods for their strength, but would have liked to crush their skulls. Bahgtru also hated the deities of deception; Baravar Cloakshadow, Cyric, and Mask.

Worshipers
Bahgtru's followers were often the strongest of the orc tribes, and were required to be unwaveringly loyal to their chieftain - until he was defeated in a challenge of physical strength or was slain. Among Bahgtru's faithful, loyalty only extended to the clan and rivalries between clans were encouraged.

History
Though he was the son of Gruumsh and Luthic, Bahgtru was believed to have not always been a divine being. He was said to have risen to prominence as a mortal orc, having crushed the brains of weaker, smarter rivals beneath his fists with his brute strength. Even the simple orc foresaw his ascendance to the ranks of divinity by Gruumsh's will after he removed the head of his predecessor.

Leg-Breaker
According to legend, Bahgtru received his symbol and title of "Leg-Breaker" when he was ambushed by a tremendous, reptilian monster of otherworldly origins while out on a hunt. In a flash, Bahgtru found himself coiled by the length and constrained by the grip of the first behir, the mightiest of its kind with hundreds of legs. No one had ever escaped the creature's grasp, and so Bahgtru laughed at his luck, for such a beast would be the ultimate test of his strength.

In an epic battle, he broke each of its legs one by one until he was freed from its clutches, its screams supposedly becoming the lightning of storms, slaying the beast with his bare hands. Bahgtru's broken bone symbol was that of the behir's femurs, a reminder to his followers that anything could be broken and bested through superior strength.
